Week 29- Third Trimester
- Baby is about the size of a : large butternut squash OR a Barbie convertible
- Weight : 3.3 lb. | 16 in.
- Baby's brain is now in charge of maintaining his body temperature and also controls his breathing. Lil' bit's iris' can respond to light by dilating and contracting. All of his internal organs are maturing and are preparing to function on their own at birth. I might even be able to feel baby cough! Baby's skin is looking a little less wrinkly too.
Gender: boy!
Weight Gain: 21 pounds
How I Feel: I am feeling pretty good still! I have noticed a little bit of swelling in my ankles at night, but nothing majorly uncomfortable. I do stand on my feet all day at work, so it makes sense! Drinking my lemon and water as well as red raspberry leaf tea does help a lot. My right leg seems to be worse, so maybe that has something to do with where baby is sitting? Who knows!
- Stretch marks: none
- Belly button: popped out
- Other: vericose veins in my right calf. My friend Kate let me borrow her. I'm hoping this helps a bit if I can where them sometimes. Now that the weather is getting warmer, they will be harder to wear!
Food Aversions: fish (except shrimp)
Movement: Little man moves a lot and pretty consistently throughout the day. He still prefers to have his back on the right side of my belly and he likes to push out, just like Dayton did. His little bum is up in my right ribs, but so far it's not too bad. Most of his kicks and punches don't affect my ribs at all.
Sleep: sleeping great
Best Moment This Week: I'm going on a girl's overnight trip this weekend!
Looking Forward to: summer break. The countdown is on. And my 30 week appointment.
What I Miss: getting up and down easily
Diet: I'm trying to eat clean 80/20, but it's been so hard this week! This week is teacher appreciation week and we've had some kind of treat in the teacher's lounge each day. Monday I had self control, Tuesday there was caramel popcorn from the popcorn shop downtown that I love, Wednesday our principal brought Hansen's ice cream which I absolutely ate, Thursday was Scratch mini cupcakes - duh, and Friday I didn't partake of the fudge and cookies. Now that all of that sugar is in my body, trying to get it out and eat clean 80/20 is going to be hard!
Exercise: I am still working out 6 days per week using Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer by lifting weights and running. Running is still going great! I plan to continue running until delivery if it continues to go well.
What's Happening This Week: Our week are pretty relaxed and it's been wonderful! Monday night we went for a bike ride after dinner. It was gorgeous and Dayton loves riding in the trailer. Man, has it been a long time since I've been on a bike! It was pretty awkward for me at first, especially with this belly, but I got the hang out of by the time we got out of the neighborhood! Ha! Tuesday we went out to dinner with our church small group. We went to a local favorite, Tony's Pizzaria, and were able to sit on the patio. We ordered a few large pizzas and I ended up having a create your own salad. It's my favorite! Wednesday and Thursday were pretty low key. Friday I am off on my girl's weekend to Des Moines!
Our small group! (minus 4 people)
Week 29!
