How far along?
29 weeks, 5 days today!
3rd!
How many days until my due date?
44 days to 36 weeks!!
How big are the babies?
The babies are the size of an acorn squash!
I actually lost three pounds this week?
What milestones did the babies reach this week?
The babes are supposed to be weighing in this week at 2 1/2 pounds. Our babes are over 3 pounds! They are 15 inches from head to toe. No wonder my belly grew so much this past week! Muscles and lungs continue to mature, and the babes' heads are growing bigger to make room for their developing brain. This trimester about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in the babes' hardening skeleton each day! Glad I'm drinking my milk and orange juice!
Pregnancy symptoms?
Well because I'm taking this medicine...I got sick Saturday night. I haven't thrown up my whole pregnancy besides the times that the toothpaste made me. It was really strange, I guess I didn't eat enough with the medicine. And I have allergies. So my nose is stopped up, which doesn't add much fun to pregnancy!
Cravings/Aversions?
I'm craving avocado egg rolls from California Pizza Kitchen...glad I got some this week! I'm also craving sparkling white grape juice. I managed to drink a whole bottle in about a day! And I went to the hot pink oven in town to get some cupcakes that were delicious!!!!
Sleep?
Sleeping well! Just going to the bathroom on average 4 times a night :(
Belly Button?
In!
Wedding rings on or off?
On!
Swelling?
No major swelling! Except my face is obviously a little more swollen than normal and my lips look like I injected them with collegian...
Labor signs?
None!
Dreams?
I have had dreams but nothing to weird or strange. I did dream about a girl I went to high school with and I haven't seen her or talked to her since we graduated 9 years ago.
Best moment of the week?
Getting to eat Thanksgiving dinner!!!!!!! I'd been looking forward to that for a while lol. Also, I got another doctor's appointment under my belt and my cervix was looking good yet again so a big sigh of relief there! 44 more days until the boys are here!
What I'm loving?
The season! I love going to the mall and seeing all of the Christmas décor and driving home and seeing all the Christmas lights on the houses. Such a happy time of year!
What I miss?
Wearing my old clothes. At just shy of 30 weeks I've been blessed to have only gained weight in my stomach, but man I miss wearing all of my old clothes.
What I'm looking forward to?
Going to the doctor next week...I'm on weekly appointments now. Only 6 more appointments scheduled...yikes!!!
What emotions have I experienced this week?
Sadness about not going black Friday shopping because I'm to worn out!
Boys, Girls, or Both?
BOYS!!!! Liam Alexander Politte & Asher Matthew Politte
All the time! The kicks are crazy these days...it feels like they are going to come through my stomach! It's crazy, but I love it! They are getting so big!
Stretch marks?
None yet!!! I'm hoping lathering up with this tummy butter and cocoa butter lotion will work wonders! My doctor was a little surprised that I haven't had any stretch marks at this point. He told me I have a pretty belly...let's hope it stays this way!
What has daddy been up to this week?
Jared made his own dough this week. A pinterest project he found. He is so funny!! He loves trying new recipes and he's been picking up the house. Rubbing my back and feet every night. Funny he did all of that before I was pregnant. lol
When do I think I will go into labor?
My doctor told me this week he thinks at this point everything is looking good for me to make it to 36 weeks! Jan. 11, 2014. So looks like we will have a baby by then!
Nesting?
Not to much.
Devotional from the book, "Expecting Praying for your Child's Development Body & Soul": Intimacy: Bone Marrow
"For you created my inmost being: you knit me together in my mother's womb." -Psalm 139:13 Lord my babes' bone marrow is completely in charge of making their bodies red blood cells now. You do think of everything, don't you? I'm amazed at how you intricately design the parts of the body we'll never even see. God, I want my children to love you with the deepest part of them, all the way down to their marrow. So many people claim to know you, but I want so much more than that for my children. I want them to know you deeply, to have a real and intimate relationship with you. I want them to long for your presence. I want them to crave your word. I want them to ache to hear your voice. I know I play a huge role in my children's relationship with you- whether it's just on the surface or goes deep down in their heart and soul. Give me a bottomless desire for you, and help to pass it down to them.
