29 Weeks

I returned to the doctor to have the three hour glucose test done. I got a little dizzy after the second blood draw and was a lot more thirsty than I was hungry. I hammered through it and read to pass the time. I got the results the following day and everything is fine. They didn't mention anything about my iron this time but I'll continue taking the supplement until I see the doctor this week for my next check up. My poor arms are still a little bruised though :(

Overall, I've been feeling wonderful. Sleeping is getting more difficult though. I wake a lot during the night because I can't get comfortable. What in the heck am I going to do for the next 2.5 months if it's getting like this now? Guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there. I stayed busy this week with the doctors visit, a day of fun yard work and planting flowers with my wonderful grandparents and a day trip to Richmond where I got some cute little outfits for the baby at a consignment shop in Carytown.

Squash: At week 29, baby is getting plumper. Right now she measures about 16 inches long and weighs almost 3 pounds. She still has a long way to go, and will be tripling her weight before birth. Needless to say, she's going to start getting a little more cramped in the Bump Hotel. Some of her movements are amazing and you can see them, not just feel them! I'm pretty sure she had the hiccups too. Muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and baby's head is growing bigger to make room for her developing brain.
