29 weeks!

Weekly check-in:

How far along?: 29w3d 
How big is baby: Baby Jarbs is now the size of a squash. Yay! 
Weight gain/loss: +1 from last week; 20 lbs. My weight gain has slowed down for the past few weeks. 
Pregnancy symptoms: Braxton Hicks contraction, kicks on my bladder 
Maternity clothes: Yes 
Stretch Marks: I was closely examining my belly the other day and so far, none yet! 
Sleep: 6-8 hrs of sleep with trips to the potty 
Best moment this week: Getting the call from my doctor confirming that I passed the 3 hr glucose test and that I do not have gestational diabetes! 
Movement: Yes, a lot. It's starting to feel like there's an alien in my tummy. Daddy Jarbs and I are having fun watching my belly twitch, jump and get lopsided as she turns and rolls.  
Food cravings: anything cold 
Food aversions: None 
Labor signs: Occasional braxton hicks contractions 
Belly button in or out: half outie :-( 
What I miss: eating sashimi 
What I am looking forward to: Finish working on the nursery! We just had the closet done. We're getting the armoire this weekend. I also ordered wall prints so I am waiting for those to come in before I can finally put the nursery together.
Milestones:
Baby's energy is surging, thanks to white fat depositing beneath his skin. And since he's growing so fast (weight will triple by birth), things are getting kind of cramped in the womb. What all this means for you: Get ready for some more kicks and jabs to the ribs.
