Best moment this week: Had a doctor appointment and got a tour of labor and delivery. Went baby shopping today and scored on some cute clothes,(REALLY cute jeggings) and shoes. Miss anything? Being comfortable. Hard to find a comfortable spot to lay down in or sit in. But this is to be expected.

Week: 29

How far along? 29 weeks. Total weight gain/loss: Gained 2 lbs. Maternity clothes? Yes. Stretch marks? Nope, not yet! Sleep: Oaklie is up kicking during the night so it can get uncomfortable. Best moment this week: Andrew switched to day shift, so I get to cuddle up to him at nights and watch movies with him. Also Oaklie's grandparents sent her lots of cute clothes in the mail. She is very spoiled. :) Miss anything? Buying cute clothes and being able to fit in my clothes. Movement: Lots and lots of kicks and movement everyday. Food cravings: I have been indulging in Reese's peanut butter cup ice cream lately. So good! :) Anything making you sick or queasy? I had my glucose test yesterday and drinking the "Glucola" on an empty stomach while giving blood, does not feel very good. Have you started to show yet? Yes. Gender: Girl! Labor signs: I've started feeling Braxton Hicks this past week and apparently it's normal to feel them with how far along I am. Belly button in or out? Out. I love my odd looking belly button. ;) Wedding rings on or off? On, but it's hard to take my ring off and to put it back on. Happy or moody most of the time? Pretty happy but really tired. Looking forward to: The holidays! I can't wait for Christmas. And my doctor appointment this coming week. I love hearing my baby's heart beat. <3

Week: 28

How far along? 28 weeks. Total weight gain/loss: I really need to get a scale so I can weigh myself every week, but I know I am gaining at least 1 pound a week. Maternity clothes? Yes, I can no longer fit in my jeans. It's all elastic waist band or sweats for the next 3 months. Stretch marks? Nope. :) Sleep: It's a little uncomfortable but that's to be expected. Best moment this week: Spending the day at the beach and I finally got my funnel cake at the carnival. Yum! Miss anything? Home and family. I have been getting a little homesick lately with the holidays coming and Oaklie's due date getting closer. Movement: Yes, she is active and healthy. Food cravings: Peanut Butter and hot cereal. I have been indulging in a lot of both this past week. Have you started to show yet? Yes and I am getting bigger overnight it feels. Gender: Girl! Labor signs: Nope. Belly button in or out? Out. Wedding rings on or off? On. Happy or moody most of the time? Pretty happy. Looking forward to: Andrew finally switching to day shift this week. :)

Week: 27

How far along? 27 weeks. Total weight gained/loss: I think I've gained at least one pound this week. Maternity clothes? Yes! Stretch marks? No not yet. Sleep: I am so tired by the end of the day that I just pass out cold. Best moment this week: I've had a couple great things happen this week. I am starting to get bigger and closer to my due date, so I am not feeling the prettiest some days. Tuesday I came home thinking Andrew was at work and come to find out he had the day off and he didn't tell me. So he went out and got me flowers, Cinderella (I am trying to get the princess movies for Oaklie so she can grow up on them just like me.), and peppermint hot chocolate from star bucks. He also wrote a cute little note telling me how much he loves me, appreciates me, and how beautiful he thinks I am pregnant. I am the luckiest girl to have a husband like him. And earlier today I woke up with a few packages on my door step from my family. I am so blessed to have a family like mine. It makes me even more excited for Oaklie's arrival because I know how much she is already loved. Miss anything? Being able to work out. I can workout but nothing like I used to. Movement: Yes! She has started to react to music and it is so funny to watch her move with the music. Food cravings: Andrew got me hooked on peppermint hot chocolate from Starbucks. It's like Christmas in a cup. Best thing ever! Have you started to show yet? Yes! I swear I got a belly over night and it keeps getting bigger. Gender: Little girl! Labor signs: Nope. Belly button in or out? Out, you can now see it sticking out through my clothes. Wedding rings on or off? On. No swelling in my hands but some swelling in my feet towards the end of the day. Happy or moody most of the time? Pretty darn happy. :) Looking forward to: Now that we have most of everything we need for the baby, I can't wait for her to be here. <3
