PREGNANCY HIGHLIGHTS:
WEEKS: 29 weeks
BABY'S SIZE: 15.5 inches, 2.5lbs, the baby is the size of a squash.
TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN: 20 lbs now...time to get back in the swing of working out especially with the Holidays around the corner!
SLEEP: OUT LIKE A LIGHT EVERY NIGHT!!!
MOVEMENT: She has her favorite times of day to be a gymnast and she is especially busy right when I get out of bed which is great-I start the day with a hi to my baby girl and then I tell her I guess it must be that time to get up and at least we are doing it together ; )
SYMPTOMS: Eczema=gone with the help of a new handwash at work and triam cream! and I am seeing the Dr again today (Monday) because my face is driving me nutso!
WHAT I MISS: Peeing and actually emptying my bladder...sorry TMI? I will have just gone to the bathroom and not 10 minutes later be back in there as if going in the first place starting a chain reacion or something : )
CRAVINGS: There is little I won't eat but meat has been top on my list this week. Thank you D for the Outback dinner that supressed my immediate hunger for red meat but it is far from gone.
MATERNITY CLOTHES: I really need to do some shopping but haven't yet. I walk around in scrubs all day and then get into pajama pants and wear them the rest of the evening and on weekends so really as long as I don't have to leave the house I am good to go for the next 11 weeks! ; )
WHAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO: Thanksgiving with the family in Gaylord. We are packing the Tahoe full with Ben, Katie and Kyle and meeting my parents at my Aunt and Uncles house on Thursday. We haven't been out there since before Riley so I am actually looking forward to the turkey farm smell (ya right!) and after dinner walks that we grew up with.
Sunday Daddy painted the ceiling and walls in the new nursery and we love the color. We used the newer Dutch Boy paint and it goes on like a dream with only one application needed! I can't wait to see the finished room once it's all together! Here is her carseat...just gorgeous!
Riley has been so caring lately especially to his puppies who he feeds, bottles (with the paint roller) and then covers with his lovie. He made sure they were warm when we went to eat at my parents house last night and they were the first thing he checked on when we got home a few hours later. He brought them to bed with him and covered them up first before we were allowed to cover him...what a sweetheart! I think the nesting instinct has hit him! D and I were laughing about calling the baby "Sister" so much and sounding like the Berenstein Bears and I think we will start referring to her by name soon-so here's to hoping Riley doesn't ruin the surprise! Riley tells everyone now that Mommy is having a dotter (daughter) and it's so funny! She is now "Riwey's baby" as he points her out on the fridge and computer. I think this Big Brother thing is pretty exciting to him as the following pictures might lead us to believe! Let's hope the enthusiasm lasts once she comes home on the 'outside' of Mommy! Happy Thanksgiving. We are so thankful for our family, children, home, health and jobs. I could go on but I will get too mushy : )
Yep, he looks ready and excited!
