29 weeks!

Baby girl #2 weighs about 3lbs and mama is feeling the extra weight! I had to attend a training for 2 days in Cincinnati this week and sitting still was really difficult. I was stiff and sore at the end of each day. She is probably about 17 inches long and for the next 2 months will just add that extra baby fat.

The crib is assembled in place. That is the one item that really makes it look like a nursery. We love the way it is all coming together. Last weekend, we spent the day at the zoo with Aunt Megan and then did a little shopping for some accessories and décor for the room. Curtains arrived yesterday and I can see our vision coming together perfectly!

Big sister loves the crib....a baby doll has occupied it every night for the last week.

While spending the day with Megan, Carli also got asked to be a part of Shane and Megan's wedding day next summer.  Originally, we talked about both girls being included but I don't think baby girl will be ready to stroll down the aisle. We will definitely make sure she is included in family pictures and decked out in a fancy dress!

My mom sent me this picture of Carli reading books to her baby...or maybe practicing reading to her baby sister. I love it and can easily picture my girls cuddled up. So very sweet!!

I saw this and thought it was so funny...and so true! Just last night I was up 5 times to pee. I was only in bed for 8 hours....how crazy is that!!

How far along? 29 weeks

Total Weight Gain? 14lbs...and doc said to expect about a pound a week moving forward.

Maternity Clothes? when it comes to pants, yes! Some dresses with stretch don't have to be maternity.

Stretch Marks? no

Sleep: Between sleeping in a hotel for 2 nights and all my potty breaks, it is hit or miss each night.

Best moment this week: Loved getting crib put together and spending the entire weekend doing fun family stuff.

Miss anything?  I missed happy hour..that leads into late night hours with co-workers in Cincy...but got to catch up with my bestie so it was totally worth it.

Movement:  Lots! What a wiggle worm!

Food Cravings? Nothing...in fact, not much of an appetite. It's so hot and the idea of a full meal doesn't appeal to me at all.

Anything make you sick or queasy? No

Gender: GIRL:)

Labor signs: We are good here for awhile!

Symptoms:  I have noticed a little swelling of my ankles at the end of the day but it is nothing like I experienced the first time. I have had heartburn ALOT the last few days.  

Belly button in or out? in...but getting shallow.

Wedding rings on or off? Wedding bands fit but my engagement ring is really snug. I know the heat isn't helping that. It has been in the 90's for a week!

Happy or Moody most of the time:  Oh, so happy!

Looking forward to:  My birthday!! I think Carli and Nick have something up their sleeve...her excitement about other people's special day is so sweet. I can't wait to spend time with family and friends this weekend!
