Hello Week 29!
Not much has changed since last week. Still achy & tired with random bursts of energy here and there.
Baby is starting to put on some weight!
How Far Along: 29 weeks
Sleep: Hit or miss still. The nightly routine usually consists of running to the bathroom at the last second (I despise getting up in the middle of the night to pee), a little bit of Arnica Salve on the ribs, hot rice sock on my right side, propped up with a few pillows.. and it's game time!
Clothes: Starting to pull out some maternity here and there. I'd say 90% of the time, I'm rockin the yoga capris and a tank top!
Food Cravings: Mostly sweets but I have had some little cravings of frozen vegetables here and there.
Food Aversions: None... I'm usually really hungry when I start making dinner but I'm too exhausted after cooking dinner to want to eat.

Symptoms: I am getting to that point where I just ache. My joints are either so loose (thanks, relaxin hormone!) that I could swing a hip out of place emptying the dryer.. OR... I can barely get off the couch because I'm so stiff! **humph** The rib pain is far too familiar from the previous two pregnancies. It's pretty miserable by the end of the day but luckily I've learned a few tips and tricks along the way!
Movement: This little one is usually very active. She/He is either up REALLY high or is way TOO low. This little one just can't make up his/her mind! HAHA
What I am Looking Forward To: I am looking forward to not hurting. I'm looking forward to daily tasks (emptying the dryer, loading dishwasher, picking up toys!) without getting stabbed in the ribs!
What I miss: I miss doing certain things with Kinsley and Caden. The other night Caden woke up and I rocked him back to sleep. I was ready to go back to bed but I physically couldn't maneuver around the crib to lay him down without him waking up. This growing belly was in the way! Even things like bath time (which K & C LOVE!) are pretty challenging. It's all worth it though!
Best Moment of the Week: Kinsley has understood the "baby in Mommy's tummy" concept since we told her. This past week, Caden has started asking about the "be be". He comes up, lifts my shirt up and gives my tummy the biggest kisses, covers my belly back up and says "night night bebe". So precious!
My favorites this week:
Alright, I'm sick and tired of dishes! It bothers the daylights out of me to have a sink full of dirty dishes and no energy to do anything about it. I know it's not "eco friendly" by any means but for the remainder of the pregnancy, we're loving the paper and plastic products in this house! If it weren't for silverware, a few dinner plates and drink ware, I wouldn't need to run the dishwasher! Meanwhile, I'm wondering if that will lower our water bill? Wishful thinking!
BEST $6.50 I've spent at Sam's in my entire life! Perfect for snacks!! My kids graze on food all day and it's not uncommon for each of them to have 4 or 5 snacks a day so this saves a lot of dishes!
These Hefty ZooPals plates are precious and cute! Plus, the kids find them to be a big treat. Somehow, they make the food on the plate that much more interesting and they usually eat all of their food. Plus, Mommy gets to throw them away after mealtime! WOOOO!
