Week 29

29 weeks! Around 15.25 in &  2.5 lb.  {Butternut Squash}

Heartbeat at Last Appointment: 153

Gender:  Sweet Little Girl

Names:  Ali Noel Prather

The little onesies are from Stephanie and Nana had them Monogramed with Ali's name on them. There is another  pink one that  Caroline wanted Harper, her baby doll, to wear.  Monday Morning she thought Harper needed a bite of yogurt and spilt it all over the little onesie so it is being washed.

Symptoms: At my doctors appointment Thursday my doctor and I talked about my Braxton Hicks contractions.  The great news was I wasn't dilated! The not so great news is she told me I couldn't  travel if I was still having them .  This certainly puts a damper on our Thanksgiving plans.  My next appointment is Next Wednesday.  She said  IF I didn't have another then she said it would be okay to travel to Startford for Thanksgiving.  I have been drinking water ALL the time and taking Magnesium which has helped with my charlie horse leg cramps.   

 Also at my appointment I passed my one hour glucose screening on Thursday (barely).  They said if I was one point higher then I would have had do the 3 hour.  It felt like a win!

Maternity Clothes: Maternity Jeans, & Work Pants.  I have been wearing a belly band everyday.  It seems to help with my back since my abs are out of commission. I have about 5 work tops that I wear over and over again.

Sleep: Still ok- just want my belly propped up by a pillow
Movement: ALL the time - She is a little gymnast in there.  She has been getting hiccups too which is pretty cute.

Food Cravings/aversions: Mina made some really good banana pudding at Randy's birthday party. She gave me a to-go bowl that didn't make it home because I ate it.  This afternoon Caroline and I  made a special trip to Rudy's to get little banana pudding for an after dinner treat.

Best Moments this Week: We had our first snow of winter on Sunday which means we had an afternoon to play inside. Then we got a late start to school which means we slept in and stayed in our PJ until 9:00 AM. 

Here are a couple of pictures from the week:

New "snuggle blanket" Aunt Kelley got her for Halloween.  It is so soft and the perfect snow blanket.

On Sunday night Daddy put on some old country music and showed Caroline how to two-step.  She liked standing on her daddy's feet and dancing but her favorite part was spinning.  She told him "i'm dizzy- do it again!" hahaha so cute.

Monday morning- The roads were really icy and it took me about 40 minutes to get to school but it melted by around 2:00.

Monday afternoon Caroline was making a hand print turkey at school when I got there. Also on Monday Sara and I went and did our baby registries at Babies R Us. It was great using that registry gun together. The only thing I put on there was Pampers and wipes but it was fun walking around with Sara.
