Size of the Baby?
Probably about 2.5 pounds.
At my doctor appointment on Tuesday (29 week mark exactly) I was measuring at 29 1/2 weeks. So he is right on track... of course he is :) And this is an acorn squash. Like you didn't know that just from looking at the picture!
Total Weight Gain/Loss?

+25 pounds now. Okay so when I started this pregnancy journey I thought it would be nice to only gain 25 lbs total. 25-35 lbs is considered normal and healthy for both the baby and me. So if I hit 35 pounds...ugh... well okay. But any more than that and I'm going to be a little bummed.
Maternity Clothes?
I bought the cutest 'non-maternity' dress at Charming Charlie's this weekend and I'm in love. I can't wait to show it off in our maternity pictures and a baby shower for sure!
Stretch Marks?
Stretch Marks?
Nope and I'm hoping it stays that way!
Best Moments?
Meeting baby Finley was pretty wonderful this week! I'm hoping Finley and our baby grow up to be good friends!
Also wonderful this week was celebrating my birthday with Ryan. At dinner we talked a lot about this little guy about to enter our world. I of course get all teary-eyed and feel so blessed to have our little family forming. You, Me, and Dupree + baby!
And then maybe the best moment was on Monday. We were supposed to have our 3D ultrasound pictures taken however I got pretty sick during the appointment so we are going back tomorrow to try again. But it was AMAZING to see our son. He yawned and was blinking during the ultrasound. Baby is head down and face down (ready for delivery) so we didn't get too many good pictures but we did get this one... and I'm in love!
Movement?
Lots of it! It's getting to be more frequent all the time!
Nausea/Vomitting?

Nausea/Vomitting?
No nausea or vomitting this week- hooray! But I have been extremely short of breath and had feelings like I am going to black out or faint. It's not very fun. I did talk to my doctor about this and they didn't seem too concerned but they did say to watch it and take it easy. My blood pressure is totally healthy and likely I need to drink more water and keep my electrolytes in check.
Labor Signs?
No thank you.
Gender?
Gender?
Our little gentleman. Noble and Distinguished. Just like this onesie I bought him!
Belly Button In or Out?
Still in but I will be shocked if it stays like that for the next few weeks.
Wedding Rings On or Off?

Wedding Rings On or Off?
Proud to say on and not even tight!
Sleep?
Same- I love my body pillow! I'm still sleeping on top of the covers and Ryan is shivering under.
Wisdom?
Don't be afraid to call your doctor. I hate bothering people and don't want to be a worry wart but I feel more comfortable knowing that my doctor is not too concerned about my fainting feeling. Of course I'm supposed to monitor it and not being over active. But better to get a professional opinion than to just feel nervous. That's what your doctor is for- so use them as a resource.
