*So rather than go back and write an update for each week...I'm just skipping them. I'm sure you don't mind. :)
How far along: 29 Weeks with Baby GIRL. We FINALLY got a good, clear shot in an ultrasound this week proving our little one is a girl! Daniel thinks I'm crazy but I was just not convinced until this last ultrasound.
Excuse the bad lighting in this pic...and the rat/snake habitat growing along our porch...it will see a weed eater very soon!

Size of Baby: Squash. A vegetable I love and Daniel doesn't. She weighs close to 3 lbs and her head circumference measured in the 90th percentile. Whoa.
Maternity Clothes: I borrowed some clothes from a friend a couple of weeks ago and I am so GRATEFUL!
My mom bought a cheap t-shirt for me from Michaels just because it's decent quality and she thought I could wear it around the house or whatever...definitely a favorite article of clothing these days...I went and bought another last week. It's definitely an interesting thing to not be able to fit into your entire wardrobe. I seriously thought I would be able to wear a lot of my clothes...yeah right. I can't fit into hardly any of my non-maternity clothes.

Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty well lately...I've been A LOT busier these last few weeks than before so I'm sure that's part of it but I think just this week I'm a little more tired than I have been. I'm also able to get more comfortable at night than I was so that is a plus too.
Foods I'm loving: Anything healthy...being on vacation last week we didn't eat that great so I am loving anything with nutrition! Poor Daniel...he is stuck with whole wheat noodles.
Foods I'm hating: Anything that gives me heartburn...which seems to be random...today it was a peanut butter & jelly sandwich.
Movement: A lot! I feel her off and on all day long. I loved seeing her move on the ultrasound and noticing that I don't even feel every movement...she was turning her head and smacking her lips like crazy.
Best moment this week: Ultrasound! The 18 week ultrasound was cool, but baby girl has gained some fat on those bones and so we could really see her features SO clearly. We had a 4-D ultrasound done at 24 weeks and came away really disappointed...it just wasn't what we expected. After the ultrasound this past Friday we realized how unclear the other was compared to this one. I don't know if it's the place we went or what, but yeah...very unimpressive. Well, I shouldn't say that because we still got to see our baby girl which is impressive, but NOT worth the money we paid.
The tech was so good at getting good, clear shots of her face and other features. So sweet. I also can't begin to tell you what a relief it was to finally believe that she's a girl! We would have loved a boy or girl, but you really do start to bond with the thought of whatever gender you're told...I just couldn't imagine getting to the end and realizing it's the opposite of what you thought!

What I miss: There was something I was going to write here, but I can't remember...I should put that as what I miss...a good memory. It is TERRIBLE these days. I've mentioned this before but yeah...unbelievable how forgetful I am. If I remember the other thing I was going to mention I'll update you.
What I'm looking forward to: A normally paced life! After this week, both Daniel and I will go back to our normal (for the most part) routines and it will be SO nice to settle in at home with no extra activities going on!
Side Note: I got the news this week that my dad and family are moving to New York! That will be nice because New York is a lot closer than Washington! I sure miss that ole guy! Now we just need to get my two siblings and spouses to move to the East coast and we'll all be together again! ...sort of.
*I really need to start taking notes because there are several things I was going to write in this entry but I just can't remember them...
Oh, I have been cleaning like a mad woman. I'm not sure if that's the whole nesting thing kicking in or what but I love cleaning these days! If you know me, you know that's NOT normal.
