I'm 29 Weeks
Baby’s Size: Baby is the size of a butternut squash, she weighed 2lbs. 13 oz. at 28 week U/S.
Weight
Gain/Loss:
up 6 lbs.
Maternity
Clothes:
Yes! Pretty much pulled out the maternity jeans the day I got a
positive test.
Symptoms:
Morning sickness went away at around 14 or 15 weeks, but food still
doesn't taste great. Starting around week 20 I was getting a bad taste in my mouth after
eating and headaches if I ate one bite of sugar, but that sort of
went away a couple of weeks ago. I've had tons of belly pain, round
ligament pain, restless legs and just plain old feeling uncomfortable, which I never
really had the first time. I'm super tired and just don't really
feel like doing much of anything.
Foods
I’m Loving:
Still love pellet ice, and once again I love the smell of clean
things (car wash, etc.) No real food cravings, but I do like to eat
ice cream every night, especially Pistachio Almond.
Foods
I’m Hating:
Reese's Peanut Butter cups (used to be my fave!), chicken if I have
to cook it or see it raw, pretty much not enjoying cooking or eating
at all.
Sleep:
Not great, I've had some weird pregnancy dreams and I'm very
uncomfortable.
Gender:
GIRL!!!
What
I Miss:
Food tasting good and red wine.
What
I’m Looking Forward To:
Never being pregnant again.
Milestones:
Viability! We scheduled our C Section for October 2nd!
Emotions:
Although I am SUPER grateful to be pregnant, I'm not enjoying it at
all. My pregnancy with Quinn was so easy, not really sick, not
uncomfortable, not tired. I have had every symptom in the book this
time and it's just not enjoyable. I feel very guilty
because I know this is the last time but I'm just ready for it to be
over. I failed the 1 hour glucose test. Got the same score as my
first pregnancy, 138, but the cutoff changed from 140 to 130. I kind
of pitched a little fit about it. I really didn't want to do the 3
hour test, and if everything was good the first time with the same number, I really didn't see the point of doing it again. But my Dr is
always so good to me and he wanted me to do it, so I did and I
passed. I think I was scared of failing since I've haven't felt good
this time. I've been anxious about the house being done before she's
born, I knew from the beginning this was a possibility, but I think some anxiety about being settled is normal. October
will be a busy month, but I know when we look back on this it won't
matter if we moved in before or after she's here.
