Week 29 Million

It’s official, I feel pregnant now. Don’t get me wrong – there have been plenty of times that I have felt pregnant over the last couple months…but never that stereotypical pregnant lady feel. This week has done it for sure.

In baby development, he or she is a complete little person now and can open its eyes, hear outside sounds, respond to stimulus and suck its thumb! The coming weeks will focus on adding much need fat, continuing to grow strong and healthy lungs and getting smarter and smarter. Our babes is about 15 inches long and probably weighs about 3 pounds. We can expect about a ½ a pound growth a week from here on out.

I think I may be growing a soccer player in my belly! The coolest thing about the last couple weeks has been the increase in noticeable baby movement. My belly actually moves around as I am being poked and prodded and I love it! As a matter of fact, when I wake up for one of my many middle of night pee breaks – sometimes the baby will be awake and I just can’t make myself go to sleep because then I will miss it. So it has led to a tired (but happy) mommy to be.

Tim has trouble just staring at my belly waiting for a kick...so the other night he laid his head on my belly and the baby kicked him right in the ear! Not only was it funny (the baby has perfect aim) – but Tim got a little taste of what it is like and loved it.

I continue to feel great. No issues or complications. Like I said when I started this post – I do feel pregnant now. Little things I used to take for granted – like rolling over or getting up from the couch have become significantly more difficult. I feel like I am back in the first trimester in terms of tiredness. I have regressed and am finding myself incredibly tired all the time. There is no real cure for this…so I try not to complaint too muchJ

We have another busy weekend ahead of us and are as determined as ever to finish the room! I’ll remain optimistic and say that we will be done this weekend and though my camera is broken at the moment – I will find a way to post some pictures.

Until then,
Candee and baby
