29 Weeks

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been busy lately!!!

How far along: 29 weeks

Total weight gain: -3 lbs

Maternity clothes: Same as before. All maternity pants and pretty much all maternity shirts now. I think that more form fitting shirts look better because they don't look like I am wearing a tent. Its weird how even though I am pregnant, I am still worried about how huge I look.

Stretch marks: There are a few new ones now. Its going to happen and I just need to accept it. I just hope they look ok after the babies are here. Its vain I know, but its still my body and I have to look at it every day.

How big is belly? I don't know. I don't have a measuring tape with me right now.

Sleep: It's an on and off thing. Some nights I sleep so great and most nights I sleep horrible. I wake up all the time needing to pee. Its gotten to a point now that its hard for me to get comfortable when I first lay down. It seems like I can't breathe sometimes!
Best moment this week: Just knowing we are in the home stretch!

Movement: People can feel them too!! Not just Marc and I. There are some girls at work who every time they see me they ask if the babies are moving and if they can feel it!

Food cravings: Sweet Tea and again, Panda Express sounds good.

Belly button in or out: Its not out yet, but I can actually see the inside of it which I can never do. I don't even think it was this shallow with Joey!
What I miss: Feeling like myself. I just feel like a different person. Its hard to explain it, but I don't feel like myself anymore.

What I'm looking forward to: Just feeling somewhat normal again.

How big are the babies? 29 weeks: Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. http://www.babycenter.com/6_your-pregnancy-29-weeks_1118.bc

I went to the dr last week (28 weeks 2 days) Dr said everything looks great! We had an ultrasound and baby A is 2lb11oz and baby B is 3 lbs! I can't believe there is 6 lbs of baby in me right now! The dr is still worried about my weight gain but I am trying to eat more. My cervix is still long and closed. No funneling. When it was checked at 25 weeks, they said it was 5cm. It was 4.65cm this time. The dr said this is perfectly normal and they just don't want it to be below 3cm at this time. I still have a ways to go before its that length! I am proud of my body for carrying these babies so well. I feel like my body might fall apart, but its holding up so far! My emotions are in high gear right now. Its hard to control them and I find myself apologizing to Marc even more than I used to because I know I am being hormonal. My hormones won't regulate for a while, but once the babies get here, at least they won't be working double time! There have been things that are going on in my life that are stressing me out and I really don't need it right now. I don't know why I have to worry about stupid stuff when I'm so pregnant, but I guess that just the woman in me! Anyways, I will write again next week (at least) about how things are going. I go back to the dr when I am 30w3d so there will be an update about that too!!!
