Yesterday hubs and I went to our 7 month check up!!! The baby is around 2 1/2 pounds (a bit more than that, actually) and is measuring right at 30 weeks already!!! He's growing fast!!!
Now on to our regularly scheduled Bump-Date!
Don't I look fabulous (sarcasm!)?! Rocking my typical messy bun and my favorite gap maternity tee with leggings. And no shoes cause that's how I roll. :) This is my favorite Sunday lounge-wear, fyi...even when not pregnant.
How far along? 29 Weeks
Maternity clothes? YES! And I FINALLY found some cute ones, I'm so happy to report! I went to Gap maternity here at the Houston Galleria and scored on some adorable dresses (30% off) for my baby showers and maternity pics. SO HAPPY. I'll post pics soon!
Stretch marks? Well....TWO, exactly two, snuck in on me. By my belly-button. Oh well. I've been applying lotion like a crazy woman and I guess there is nothing you can do to prevent them.
Sleep: Sleeping very soundly but having RIDICULOUS dreams!!!! I was sleep talking about school and my students to my husband last week about 2:30 AM. The dreams are ULTRA-vivid and whacked out! That is the best way I can describe them! Chalk it up to the raging hormones, I guess?
Best moment this week: Finishing the nursery!!! Go to yesterday's post to see what I'm talking about in case you missed it!
Miss Anything? Nope!
Movement: Always moving...always. I'm always so happy to feel him move...I am so anxious and such a worry-wart...if I don't feel him constantly I'm always concerned something is wrong. Let me tell y'all...pregnancy is STRESSFUL.
Food cravings: Sweets for sure.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Eating after 8pm and not taking a Tums.
Gender: Baby boy
Labor Signs: Nothing!
Belly Button in or out? In!
Wedding rings on or off? On
Mood: Relaxed since we are finished with the nursery.
Looking forward to: Packing hospital bags and just being prepared for anything.
What does Alphamom say about week 29?
Your Baby:
- Is big and strong enough to resemble a sinister alien thrashing around your abdomen, as my husband kindly pointed out recently, upon noticing a rouge pointy elbow jabbing up and down around my belly button.
- Is sucking up every drop of calcium you can provide as his or her bones continue to harden and become more…uh…bone-like.
- DID I MENTION THE POINTY JABBING? WITH THE SHARP LITTLE BONES?
You:
- Might start noticing a resurgence of first-trimester-type symptoms like heartburn and other gastrointestinal issues. Things are getting a BIT crowded in there, and the lack of room means slower digestion and more gas and constipation and woe.
- Are gaining weight. I don’t know or care to look up what the “recommended” amount is at this stage, but most likely you are starting to notice a steady upward movement of that little thingie on your doctor’s scale. If you’ve been using pregnancy as a dietary sweet tooth free-for-all, now might be a good time to start reining it in and focusing on healthy foods and portions instead of “BABY NEEDS CAKE AND A TUB OF FROSTING ON THE SIDE.”
My 29 Week Thoughts:
I'm just ready. Scared, but ready. I think now I'm just kinda going with the flow...I've got my first baby shower in 2 weeks and I am really ready for that! I am just excited that the holidays are around the corner and that means that my little one's birthday is just around the corner as well.

Hahaha, Nate is the same way as your hubs. If people are around or "watching" he doesn't want to take pictures. Guys are too funny.
You look adorable as always, and I am excited to hear about your baby shower!
Can't believe you're at 7 months already - I feel like I was just reading the post where you announced you're pregnant. Crazy how time flies!
You look fabulous!! Get ready, the last trimester goes by QUICK!! I craved sweets too, you wont believe how much cookies, ice cream and raspberry lemonaid I had when I was pregnant!
You look amazing! I craved sweets also... I swear I lived off of fruit & frozen yogurt for most my pregnancy :)
You look so great! I can't believe it's gone by so fast. FYI, I totally rock that outfit every day after 5 and weekends! haha
You look great! I'm so scared of getting stretch marks too, I bought lotion but haven't started using it yet. Can't hurt to try to prevent them, hehe.
Congrats on the 29 week mark!
So exciting.
We hit 31 this Thursday. Starting to get the ole weeble wobble walk, but still incredibly excited!
Not getting lots of sleep these days though as my little girl is currently a punchy night owl. :-)
