Pregnancy Highlights!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 29 weeks!

Size of baby: 

Your baby's the size of an acorn squash!

Baby already measures about 15.2 to 16.7 inches long. Right now, we weighs about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds but he's still got a ways to go -- can you believe he'll triple in weight before birth?

Baby Development This Week: 

• He's getting a little cramped in there, since he's growing so fast. But you probably already realize that, since you're getting all those jabs and kicks.
• He's growing white fat deposits under his skin, and his energy is surging because of it.
• Feel a subtle twitch? It might be baby hiccupping.

.Maternity Clothes: Regular shirts, stretchy capris, and skirts. Bra size is still everchanging…lol. I got my first pair of maternity bottoms, a maternity dress for our upcoming maternity shoot, and a bathing suit. J

Gender: IT’S A BOY! John Declan Leviner! He will be called Declan. Declan is of Irish origin and means full of goodness. J

Movement: He loves to kick when I’m on the verge of falling asleep, I would be annoyed, but it’s too stinkin cute!

Sleep: It’s been okay, not great.

What I miss: Just being able to fit into my old clothes.

                                            

Cravings: Sandwiches and Orange Juice (not necessarily together…lol)

Symptoms: backaches, fatigued, Braxton hicks, shortness of breath, leg cramps

Best Moment this week: John’s stepmother calling and telling us that they are getting us a car seat! With my mom and family getting us a crib already, two of our big ticket items are taken care of and we are so thankful! J
