Week 29

Well guys, baby Jaden is still doing some awesome karate work, possibly some hiccuping, and lots of growing!
According to my app, he's just kind of growing in general so I'm supposed to pack in the calcium, vitamin C, iron and protein. Which sounds like I should probably have a feast. :p I've been lots hungrier again lately so I'd wondered if that's because he's just really growing right now or what?
One of the emails I got for week 29 said that babies usually get more energy during this time because they're getting fat deposits finally. :) So instead of a little scrawny guy in there we're starting to get a chubster!

Cravings: I'm dying for hamburgers and a big, juicy, fresh peach. Strange combo, but whatever I guess. :p

Aversions: I haven't been especially fond of dried fruit... besides that I can't think of anything.

Hardest part of this week: Stinkin Braxton Hicks contractions and being super tired again! The contractions aren't super painful or anything, just really uncomfortable.

Best part of this week: All the stretching little man has been doing. :) It's so crazy to put my hand on my stomach and feel a little hand or foot (I can't really tell which it is ever) pushing back against my fingers. :) It's one of the coolest feelings ever! I mean I knew he was in there before, of course, but now it's even more real when I can really feel him moving and stretching on the inside and the outside!

Sorry- no picture (again) this week. I haven't been very consistent with that at all, oops! I still feel huge though. The past couple of days I just feel big and fat and gross. (My fingers and feet swell at night sometimes now, maybe that's part of why.) But I'm getting more and more excited for baby Jaden to get here. We set up the crib Monday night for our Family Home Evening, and it was so much fun! I can't wait to get a rocking chair in there too. That way when I'm just laying there awake all night (which seems to be the norm more often than not) I can go sit in his room and daydream. :p
