29 Weeks


How far along: 29 weeks
Baby Size:  Acorn Squash
Baby Developments: Aiden is going to be packing on the pounds from here on out! He is 15.2-16.7 inches long and weighs 2.5-3.8 lbs.
Weight gain
Maternity clothes: OH YES! Maternity clothes are a necessity! I've ditched my cute pj's and am living in Forrest's tshirts at night because they are WAY more comfortable!
Stretch marks: No stretch marks yet! The ones on the back of my leg have gone away!
Sleep: Sleep has been great one night, off and on the next!
Best moment this week: Seeing Aiden rolling around in my belly from the outside!
Miss Anything: Energy but I assume that's to be expected!
Movement: I feel flips and random kicks all day long! I usually feel lots of movement throughout the day that end at 8:30 pm. He has another energy spurt around 2:30 am-ish (that I sometimes sleep through) then he's back up and at it around 6:30-7. I think he may be a morning person like his mama used to be : )
Food cravings: Lime sherbet, strawberry limeade, LOTS of fruit! 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Fish, Steak, Garlic flavored crackers



Labor Signs: I had my first b/h Saturday night (1/26). I was a little frightened at first but Forrest reminded me that it's completely normal! I walked around the house, drank tons of water and it went away!
Exercise: Walking 3-4 miles a day and eating clean during the week!
Symptoms: Acid reflux, killer right leg cramp on 1/28, fighting the pregnancy "waddle" 
Belly Button in or out: It's in and no longer red.
Wedding rings on or off: On
Looking forward to: Getting Aiden's letters for his nursery in the mail!
Goals: Continue and working on my pregnancy to do list!

I have finalized my registries at Babies R Us and Target. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or additions I should make!

Christmas in Apopka

To say that our little man racked up this Christmas would be an understatement! Mom, Dad and Bethany went above and beyond on presents for Aiden this year. We got monogrammed clothes, towels and artwork for Aiden's room.  

We surprised Mom & Dad this year with a TV to mount in their bedroom. Right after Daddy opened it, Mom cleared a place in the bedroom and we Daddy & Forrest set it up! 
I guess that means he liked it :)
