State of the Uterus: 29 Weeks

How far along? 29 weeks! About 10 to go, since my doctor is talking about a scheduled c-section at 39 weeks.

Due Date: January 6, 2013. I just realized every single post before this one has had 2012 for the due date year, which is clearly not the case. Talk about pregnancy brain!

Total weight gain/loss: I've gained about 15 pounds so far.

Maternity clothes? Yep, almost full-time. My non-maternity shirts tend to ride up.

Sleep: Sleep has been a little more elusive lately. I'm waking up to pee more often, and a couple nights ago I had a weird episode where I woke up unable to get a good breath and had to use my inhaler.

Best moment this week: Seeing my belly move all over the place when Reid started doing karate in there. He is seriously so strong already!

Movement: See above. :) Lots of movement!

Food cravings: Pumpkin anything! I plan to make some yummy pumpkin bread this week.

Food aversions: My body seems to have an aversion to tomato sauces, as they give me wicked heartburn right now. Looks like I'll be avoiding acidic foods from this point on, or keeping the Tums close by.

Gender: It's a boy! Reid William Vaughan.

Labor Signs: I've had some light cramping here and there, but nothing painful.

Belly Button in or out? In.

What I miss: Sleeping soundly.

What I am looking forward to: My next prenatal visit, which will be at 31 weeks. Also, Halloween!

Milestones: Baby Reid should weigh about 3 pounds by now, and fat is starting to develop underneath his skin to help regulate his temperature.

Also, speaking of milestones, Colin can count to 10 now, and his vocabulary is continuing to grow like CRAZY! Earlier today we were outside, and he said "a square!" I said, "where do you see a square?" and he said "over there!" I'm pretty sure he was looking at the windows on our house. He has also started singing a few songs, even though the lyrics are kind of muddled. He knows The Itsy Bitsy Spider, The Wheels on the Bus, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I can't believe how smart he is! It's so cool to be able to communicate with him and know that he understands what we're saying.
