Bumpdate: 29 Weeks

Whoa this post is super late.  Sorry about that.  I definitely got distracted last week getting back into the swing of things at school.

How far along: 29 Weeks

Gender: It's a baby!

Weight gain: About 19 pounds

Maternity clothes: Maternity clothes all the way.  I feel like real maternity shirts make me look huge, but they fit, so I'll just have to deal.

Stretch marks: A few on my hips, but none on my stomach.

Belly button in or out: In, but seriously stretched.  It's almost flat.

Sleep: Still sleeping really well but occasionally waking up with minor back pain or to use the restroom.

Best moment this week: Our appointment on Thursday.  Baby sounds great.  I'm measuring about one week big, so maybe we'll have an early baby?

Worst moment this week: Just general tiredness.  It's almost like being back in the first trimester.

Miss anything: Sleeping on my stomach. or on my back.

Movement: So much!  And it's starting to hurt a bit.

Cravings: Ice cream this week.  And Cheerios.

Queasy or sick: Feeling good!

Looking forward to: Next weekend!  (Is it too early to be looking forward to that already?)

Bumpdate: 28 Weeks

This week flew by.  I can't believe I'll already be flying back to SLC today.  Also, technically I'm 29 weeks today, but I just remembered to post this update.

And I think everyone has pretty much decided that we are having a boy, so if this baby comes out as a girl I think I'm going to be really confused and I'll have to double check that it's really mine :)

I'm officially on Spring Break!  What a lovely feeling.  I finished all of my grading before I left and my grade book is completely updated and ready for our midterm grades to be printed when we get back.

I'm also off to Michigan tomorrow!  I'm really looking forward to visiting friends and family for a whole week!

Bumpdate: 26 Weeks

This week has been rough.  I've been really tired, and school is wearing me out!  Good thing there are only 6 more days until break.  I'm still going to the gym consistently, but have been getting some stares this week.  You would think people have never seen a pregnant lady walk on a treadmill before.

My dress that I've been wearing for these weekly pictures is slowly getting shorter as my belly gets larger.  It's pretty amusing.

Belly button in or out: In, but seriously stretched.

Sleep: Still sleeping really well but waking up once to use the bathroom.

Best moment this week: Baby had a dance party the other evening.  I was getting punched and kicked at the same time!

Worst moment this week: My kiddos at school are slacking and not doing homework.  It's driving me crazy!

Miss anything: Sleeping on my back and drinking beer.  There have been a few nights this week where a cold one sounded amazing!

Movement: Yes!  It happens all the time now.  The kicks are getting strong enough that I can feel them when I'm standing up, which is definitely new.

Cravings: Anything sweet.

Queasy or sick: Feeling good!

Looking forward to: This weekend.  Going to start tackling some cleaning and purging projects on my to-do list.  Plus I won't have much to plan for school, which will be awesome!

Bumpdate: 25 Weeks!

2 more weeks until Spring Break...2 more weeks...I can do this!

The countdown on my phone says we are less than 100 days away from our due date!  Seriously, how did that happen?  I am getting so so excited to meet this little baby.  My kids at school, especially the 4th graders, keep saying they want me to have the baby now.  I have to remind them that it's not done baking yet and that I'm not ready for it to come out yet either.
