29 weeks!

29 weeks with Graceyn

29 weeks with Baby Evans #2

How far along? 29 weeks!

Symptoms: Acid reflux, swelling hands and feet (eek!) - Dr said it looked fine though!

Total Weight gain/loss: After my huge gain last week I may never weigh again lol

Sleep: I sleep great for 6 hours and then I'm wide awake. Of course I toss and turn all night!

Food Cravings: After I failed my 1 hour glucose test I decided to cut back on sweets. It's tough!!

Best Moment this week: We are back to our routine of work and school. I failed my 1 hr glucose test and took my 3 hr one on Friday. My doc is out of the office so I hope to hear something soon!

Movement: It moves all the time... Jarrod talks to it and it moves for him (most of the time). 

Labor signs: None thank goodness! I can't believe I'm so close to meeting it!

Gender: No clue and not finding out! Some times I think I wish I knew but I know it will be more fun to find out when he/she is born!! Right now I'm leaning towards girl but we all call it "him" when we talk about it.

Belly button in or out: In-ish. It's working on making its way out.

What I miss:   Nothing that I can think of right now!

What I am looking forward to: I am now on every 2 week appointments and we will be 30 weeks at the next one. This pregnancy is flying by!

Milestones: Another week down almost 30 weeks... Eek!!

Weekly wisdom: (keeping this same one - its still tough) We are in the midst of a difficult time with Graceyn (terrible twos I'm assuming). She can defeat us very quickly and make us wonder why we would ever want another child. And then two minutes later she makes us realize what a joy she is to us and why we want so many kids. If you're having a tough time in parenting HANG ON! It won't always be that way!!

Blessed.

28 weeks!

Total Weight gain/loss: I'm ashamed to put this. I've gained TEN POUNDS since my last appointment. Oh geez. That makes a total of 19 pounds gained. Better stop now haha.

Sleep: It's as though I only need 6-7 hours each night. I wake up if I try to get more than that!

Food Cravings: I still love chocolate milk! Everything gives me acid reflux, yuck!

Best Moment this week: We just returned from a week at the beach and it was wonderful! Much needed for all 3 (or 4!!) of us.
