This was our last week living in our house in Del Rio. The day I hit 29 weeks was the day we moved into a TLF house (temporary living).
Approximate size of Baby: the size of a butternut squash or a Barbie convertible (about 15.2″ long and 2.5 lbs)
Symptoms: fatigue, back pain, eczema, eye issues, nasal congestion, nausea, SPD?, Braxton Hicks contractions
- I was pretty tired this week. Between being big enough now to have to fully wake up to roll over in bed and the stress over packing to move, sleep has not been great.
- Still limiting my contact lens use. I didn’t even try wearing them this week.
- Nausea come and goes. Usually in the evening like it has been throughout this pregnancy.
- I’ve definitely been overdoing it with lifting and bending while packing. I’ve had some pretty painful SPD symptoms on those days.
- I’m still having BH contractions, but not like I was a couple of weeks ago.
Maternity clothes: All the time. Starting to pack up tshirts that are getting too tight as well.
Stretch marks: no new ones
Belly button in or out: in but getting shallow
Sleep: Depends on the night
Best moment this week: Moving into TLF! It feels good to have the packing done and be moved out of the house. Actually getting the packing done for Little Rock took a long time though. Andrew & I basically had to take shifts so one of us could hang out with Gerrit while the other got stuff done. I tried to be fairly minimal with packing, but Andrew has his work cut out for him next week when he has to pack up our cars.
Miss anything: Just feeling normal. I walk slowly, and it’s becoming a process to roll over in bed at night. Basically just feeling pretty pregnant.
Movement: A lot, especially when I have my midnight snack.
Cravings: I still have a green apple and some extra sharp cheddar cheese every night. I’m honestly surprised that this snack has remained a staple for me. I would have expected to have gotten sick of it by now!
Looking forward to: Getting settled in Little Rock — I’m really hoping my stress level goes down once the packing/traveling is behind us for awhile.
