29 weeks


How far along: today: 29 weeks and 3 days
Cravings: Nothing specific this week. Luckily nothing bad for me either. Choosing fruits and veggies.... For now.
Baby bump: Feeling consistently full these days. About to get some new scrub tops, we're starting to cross a fine line.
Mood: Moody for several days now. I don't like it, but I can't change it. I'm either crying, cranky, or asleep. I'm going to blame fatigue from too much work and running around.
Looking forward to: Finalizing and finishing up all the little nesting projects I've initiated! And the baby shower.
Missing: Nothing right now!
Best moment: We bought a new mommy car! It's my dream car/SUV and we actually got a deal on it! I've been too busy to even take good pictures of it daylight! Ridiculous.
Baby purchases: None this week. Unless you count little man's new ride.
Movement:  I feel a little hard "body" on the left side and lots of kicks on the right side. He has been kicking my husband now when he puts his head on my stomach.
Rings on/off: On! More snug days than loose days I fear.
Belly button in/out: In, but I'm definitely seeing less room in there.

28 weeks

How far along: today: 28 weeks and 2 days
Cravings: Apples- apple everything! At the grocery I got apple butter and two different types of apples, and Apple juice to go along with my usual orange juice. 
Baby bump: Its here! And people ask me about it all the time now. I've been wearing the crap out of my Christmas maternity pants! They are so comfy and stylish!
Mood: Pretty good. I get cranky when my Husband and I don't see each other often. We have been working so much that I'm seeing it my mood.
Looking forward to: A baby shower! And a vacation! And did car shopping! Car shopping is really digging into baby obsession time. I can only google so much stuff. 
Missing: Flexibility. I used to be so flexible. Now that I'm realizing I'll need strength and flexibility just to birth this baby, I want it back.
Best moment: Getting back into the gym! I've been 4 x this week. Now to just keep it up...
Baby purchases: Bought a TON of slightly used goodies from a generous coworker. I also got a little nesting bug and practically packed my hospital bag and anything we would need immediately in case we started this early.
Movement:  Baby kicks a lot. He puts serious pressure on my back giving me serious sciatica some days. I'm now even picking up what I think are Braxton hicks.
Rings on/off: On! I have good days and bad days. Today, so far, a good fitting.
