29 weeks

Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments.

How far along? 29 weeks.

Due Date: August 13, 2010

Total weight gain/loss: +5 ... :) We got to it a week sooner than I was hoping but that's ok :) ... My baby weighs almost 3lbs and the water (I believe) should almost equal her weight so that means I haven't really gained anything! O:) ... but I know that no matter how healthy I eat, I'm probably about to pack on the pounds just because I'm nearing the end. Whoah - I'm nearing the end! Only 11 weeks... wow.
Maternity clothes? This is getting redundant. Yes.
Sleep: I sleep great! ... either she doesn't move much at night or I sleep like a rock because she doesn't wake me up... but when I'm first awake I usually shift into a different position and she does too :)

Best moment this week: I really need to write these down as they happen... I'm sure I forget great stuff! Sunday this week after we got home from church we sat in the car listening to music because Eliana was dancing around... Rusted Root - Send Me On My Way came up on our cd and there was a certain spot in the song that she just loved I guess and Geoff was sitting next to me so he really got to see my belly move! It was so cool! She loves bass in music btw :)

Movement: Yes, more and more all the time. She really jumps around to good music and after I eat. :) Sometimes she'll kick my arm off my belly if I have it resting there. :)

Food cravings: Nothing right now. 
Food aversions: I haven't noticed anything lately.
Gender: GIRL!! A healthy wiggly(!) girl
Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks... definitely!
Belly Button in or out? In... barely! Sometimes the way I sit will pop out a side and it takes a while for it to go back :) 
What I miss: Subway!!! Seriously... especially now that it is hot - I want to eat not-hot food.
What I am looking forward to: Today is the first baby shower! :) I'll try to remember to write about it.
Milestones: Really starting to feel ready - I'm going to be a MOMMY IN ABOUT ELEVEN WEEKS!!

Other: I found a dresser on Craigslist for $20 and they threw in this modular cabinet thing :) YAY!! We definitely needed more dresser space and this should be perfect. :)
