29 Week Bump Update

Again my favorite day of the week & 

as we grow closer to May I am becoming more excited

29 Weeks!!

1 week away from the big 3-0!

2 weeks away from single digits (in terms of weekly counting)!

Weight gain: 13 lbs. I have lost about 3 to 3.5 since last Monday. I am eating 3 meals a day with 2 to 3 snack. My blood sugars are right on target. I switched to whole milk in hopes of adding some fat on me. Dr. says if I continue to lose more weight we will do more blood tests & and ultrasound to make sure baby is growing. He is measuring 2.5 weeks ahead by the measurements of my uterus, so I am pretty sure he is growing! I am attributing to the weight lost to my decrease in carbs and sodium, but it still makes me nervous!

Baby Stats: Second week into our 3rd trimester. Baby is the size of a squash!! Weight near to 3 lbs and about 17 inches long!!. 

Blood Pressure: High at my last OB visit. 140/90, but I have noticed that when one nurse does it, it is always particularly higher. At my repeat blood pressure test it was 146/74 and two days later 140/68. However, when I take it at work (I work in a hospital) Its 120/70... They now put me on blood pressure medications. Labetalol 100mg 2x a day & I am quite nervous that my blood pressure will be too low. 

Food aversions: None

Morning sickness: None

Appetite : Back to normal and wanting to eat everything!!

Cravings: Mostly salty with my love of cereal and cookies. None of which I can really eat!

Clothes: All my pants still fit, but need the belly band. Loving jeggings, leggings and yoga pants!! I can wear most of my non maternity shirts minus a few very fitted ones.  Wearing some maternity pants (3 pairs) and a few maternity shirts. 

Headaches: Nothing too bad this week. 

Sleeping: Sleep is back to normal, less waking up in the middle of the night having to pee!

Stretchmarks: None yet!  

  Bellybutton: Outtie and visible through the shirt!!

   Wedding Rings: On

Backaches: Very occasional.

Heart Burn: A little here and there, but doesn't last long, hiccups are the worst!

Energy and Motivation: Normal

Emotions: Mostly Happy, but I notice I cry MUCH easier. 

  Movements: All the time :) They are less forceful now which I am imagining is due to him running out of room in there. 

Gender: Boy!

Name: Greyson

Update: Baby appointments have moved to every other week as opposed to every 4 weeks :)

Next appointment: 

Tomorrow is our follow up appointment with the nutritionist so she can tell me how my blood sugars have been. 

Prayiiing she will say I am in range of a non-diabetic!

3/12 for our next OB Appointment.
