How far along: 29 Weeks 4 Days (so much going on, sorry to be so LATE on this one!)
Maternity Clothes: Yes! And I just scored two FREE sweaters using Kohl's cash. Woo!
Stretch marks: Yup.
Sleep: Well, I have been so entirely exhausted that I've actually been sleeping with only ONE middle of the night bathroom break. It's a miracle. And also indicates the intensity of my sleepiness.
Best moment of the Week: Baby Shower! A follow up post is coming on this, so I will gush there! We did have a WORST moment this week, also. Thankfully all is well. Saturday night after decorating for Christmas, I noticed I had a small amount of spotting. I called the doc line as instructed for anything out of the ordinary thinking I'd be told to rest and call back if it got worse. Nope. I was told to come STRAIGHT to Labor and Delivery for evaluation. What? So off we went in the middle of the night to the hospital. We got there and were relieved to learn all looked well and that there was just some superficial irritation going on . . . but apparently I was a little dehydrated so they wanted to monitor me to ensure I wasn't having contractions. Spoiler alert: I wasn't having contractions. Five hours later we were released (that's 5am at this point) with a clean bill of health for both Henry and me. I am so grateful things are good, and I'm also certainly happier to be safe than sorry, but it was a really stressful thing. Even though it was all precautionary, being hooked up to the monitors and being told it's not safe to go home was super scary and anxiety inducing. It certainly threw me off for a few days, but I'm feeling back to normal today and chipper! Hey, at least we had a "dry run" for actual Delivery-Day.
Miss Anything? Reaching things. I have short arms anyway, so put me FURTHER from stuff because of a big ol' bump and I become a t-rex struggling to reach ANYTHING.
Movement: Lots! I've also had a ton of hiccups from little man today, right under my ribs.
Food Cravings: Nothing in particular this week.
Queasy or Sick? Nope!
Have you started to show? Oh, yes. O, Henry!
