how far along: 29 weeks, 4 days
size of baby: an acorn squash {15.2-16.7 in, 2.5-3.8 pounds}
we had an appointment yesterday and the ultrasound technician estimated her to weigh about 3 pounds, 3 ounces! in the 56th percentile!
gender: baby girl!
weight gain: up to 148! {yowza, that’s 22 pounds!}
maternity clothes: yes, yes, yes! even invested in a belly support over the weekend!
stretch marks: keeping them away with my Mustela cream!
rings: on, but still feeling a bit tighter…
nursery: is looking great! we have all of the furniture {but the rocker} and the hubby even built in her closet for her over the weekend! getting there!
movement: still moving all over the place! especially in the early morning and after I lay down after work or dinner!
symptoms: occasional back pain, but I’m hoping the belly support will help with that! also, breathlessness like crazy! I feel like I’m a hundred years old after I go up a flight of stairs!
sleep: still great! I’ve been getting some early morning wake up calls with all of the dancing going on, but I don’t mind!
cravings: the cloudy, rainy weather in southern CA is making me want soup and grilled cheese…all day. every day. I’ve had soup for lunch for 3 days and dinner last night!
aversions: nothing in particular…
what I miss: not feeling like I’m 20 pounds overweight after doing anything physical {oh wait…} 😉
best moment this week: we had a wonderful time with both of our families for Thanksgiving! I made this salted caramel apple pie for both houses! so yummy! we got lots of baby shower crafts done on friday, organized little miss’ closet and went wedding dress shopping with my SIL! so much progress and fun over the long weekend! {and since I’m late posting…we also got to see her in an ultrasound yesterday! she has gotten so big…it amazes me everytime!}
looking forward to: our baby shower on Saturday and being 30 weeks! ah…time is flying!

Congrats on you pregnancy! I loved reading your blog….I have 2 little girls and I wanted to introduce myself. I just started “mommy blogging” a few months ago…My favorite routine to get my energy back are yogurt facials, walking/running in the morning, and my absolute favorite “preggy” bars which were a huge part of my healthy pregnancy diet plan that I get at sprouts or online and post pregnancy as well, lots of Kumbucha, chia and yoga…I love and started Instagraming too. Ok look forward to more blogs.
Thanks and Merry Christmas!!
Jenny….
