How far along: 29 weeks
Weeks to due date: 11 weeks!
Total weight gain: 14 pounds
Maternity clothes: Yep!
Sleep: Oh how I miss thee! This week I’ve
been up at 6AM one day. 5AM another day… and even 4AM today. I think the baby and Olivia have made a pact
that one of them will have me up early. Naps have been a life saver!
Exercise: 5 days of bikini body mommy workouts. 3 strength and 2
cardio. And I got in a 1 hour walk and a 40 min Kayak adventure on Sunday. What
else do you do when you’re up at 5 and everyone is sleeping except the wee one
in the womb =) It was a gorgeous morning and I’m actually glad I was up!
Best moment this week: Father’s day was a really great
day! That was the day the baby woke me up at 5. It was so beautiful and so calm
I just had to be outside. When I got
home from walking and Kayaking, Andy and Olivia had just woken up so we had
breakfast and got ready for the day. We then listened to a great sermon
together and went to the Medina Café for lunch. Everyone had the weekend off so
it was just nice to be at camp and enjoy the quiet =)
What I miss: I miss being able to sit comfortably
with Olivia on my lap. This belly has really been getting in the way and when
Olivia leans up against it the baby will often try to kick or push her away.
Not the most comfortable thing in the world.
Movement: I’m not quite convinced there is
just one in there because the baby has been moving so much! I’ve been feeling the baby’s hiccups too =)
Food cravings: Donuts!
Making me queasy: Feeling good!
Starting to show: I am pretty sure I popped even more this week!
Gender: 11ish weeks and we
will know
Happy or moody: Both
Things I've been experiencing this
week: I’ve had a few
“moments” this week. Moments of
overwhelming joy from a few simple…. moments =) One of them was when I wrapped
Olivia up in a towel and gave her a snack after she had been playing in her
pool for a while. I Love that I get to be her mom and she gets to sit and warm
up on my lap and that we get to just do life together. I remember seeing other
moms with their kids and looking forward to things like that and now I get to
experience it!
Another
moment was on Saturday. I had decided to make sweet potatoes and grill steak
for lunch. Well, the steak took a little longer than I expected and the sweet
potatoes totally got burnt and stunk up the whole house and filled it with
smoke. Because of the awful atmosphere in the house we decided to eat outside.
We laid a blanket in the shade and ate steak and peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches (great substitute for sweet potatoes right?!) and it was perfect. Maybe I’m too sentimental or whatever but I
truly love moments like that. The moments that are so real and so simple but
are so beautiful.
What I'm looking forward to: Going to SD this weekend. I also
have an appointment in Fargo on my way to Madison so I’m looking forward to that too.
It is always so fun to hear that
heartbeat!
Size of baby: An acorn squash
