How Far Along ...

29 weeks

Gender ...

GIRL!

Maternity Clothes ...

My favorite thing to wear right now are maxi dresses (maternity or non) with a tied tee over the top of my bump! They are so much more breezy and comfortable than a giant belly band on a pair of capris or shorts in this summer heat.

Belly Button & Wedding Ring ...

Oh my goodness you guys, my belly button is barely hanging in there this time around! It has becomee so shallow that I would be more surprised if it didn't pop by the end of this pregnancy than I would if it stayed an inie. I'm kind of excited about it! ;) Wedding ring is still on most of the time. I only avoid wearing it when I am playing in the sun for a while with Liam. #swelling 

Sleep ...

The body pillow has become my best friend again these last few weeks, although not to my neck. I struggle to sleep without it though. On a really good night, I wake up once to use the bathroom but on average it is about 4 times. Whoever said "enjoy all the sleep you can before the baby comes" has never been pregnant. haha I am usually able to fall right back to sleep after having to get up though so that's really nice.

Best Moment(s) this Week ...

Finding out I passed my glucose test!!! Such a weight off not having to do the 3 hour one. You betcha I celebrated with ice cream! ;) 

Miss Anything ...

Fitting into more than a handful of things in my wardrobe. I already feel like I rotate the same 4 dresses over and over again and I still have about 2 and a half months to go. SO thankful the tailbone pain I mentioned at 25 weeks has gone away! I also miss working out without the added weight on my ankles. 

Movement ...

This cute girl moves all the time now and because I am carrying her so much higher and in front of the placenta, I feel her so much more than I did with Liam! I already see random limbs jabbing out as she kicks and moves in there. I love every minute of it!!!

Cravings ...

Sugar (fruit & ice cream) and Cafe Rio Salads 

Feelings & Emotions ...

Between hitting the third trimester and staring to go to the doctor every 2 weeks now, I feel like we are so much closer to meeting her and I'm so excited!!  Over the last week we've made a big push to get most of her nursery done and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders considering we finished Liam's the morning we went into the hospital to have him. When I really think about it, I am feeling anxious about how little time I have left with just Liam so I am trying my best stop soak up every minute of it. 

Looking Forward to ... 

Celebrating the 4th of July tomorrow with the parade, a bbq, s'mores in our campfire, and fireworks! Our last holiday before baby girl is here!
