29 - Chaos (but fun chaos)

Week 29 - Feb 27 - Mar 5

Your baby's the size of an acorn squash!

Baby already measures about 15.2 to 16.7 inches long. Right now, she weighs about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds but she's still got a ways to go -- can you believe she'll triple in weight before birth?

• She's getting a little cramped in there, since she's growing so fast. But you probably already realize that, since you're getting all those jabs and kicks.
• She's growing white fat deposits under her skin, and her energy is surging because of it. 
• Feel a subtle twitch? It might be baby hiccupping. (I think I did feel some hiccups)

Week 29 was chaotic!! We went to Rodeo Cookoff Friday night; repainted the office (which used to be the dining room), met Gigi & GPops for lunch/dinner, and went to a surprise party on Saturday; finalized our registries on Sunday; started training my "work sub" on Monday; and went to watch the Rockets vs Heat game on Tuesday. Plus we had winter show up for probably the 10th time this year - I'm not kidding!! It was warm and sunny over the weekend, then out of the blue it got very cold and wintry again!! I don't mind though, I kind of like the cold. :)

Daddy was super excited about the Heat coming to town!!

Soaking up these spontaneous date nights while we can - I love him!!

Head to toe bundled up - this was one of those wintry days. My official "29 Week" picture was only two days earlier.

Mommy's brain settled down a little bit this week and I am pretty much obsessed with feeling your sweet little movements. You're quite the wiggle-worm! Weight gain is around 15 lbs and my stomach discomforts have taken a backseat to an even less lovely pregnancy plague that I will not write for the public to read about, ha! Now, if only we could focus this energy into something slightly more productive than "playing"... Did I mention, we've started the third trimester!?
