Twenty-Nine Weeks



I'm 120 pounds now and baby is 2.5 pounds and a little over 15 inches long.

Not a whole lot of change this week. I retook my glucose screening on Friday and finally got my results last night. I am so relieved that I passed and didn't have to take the 3 hour.

I'm still sleeping pretty well, though it's painful to roll over and sit up. I've been waking right around 4:00 almost every morning and it usually takes an hour or so to get back to sleep. My hips hurt really bad all night and I'm constantly switching sides trying to relieve the pain. As soon as I get up in the morning they stop hurting.

I had a baby dream a few nights ago. I was having twins and I had just had the first one, a girl. I didn't dream about the actual birth though. Someone was holding her and I was about to have the other one, a boy. You could see him wiggling all around from the outside. I started taking video of it when it came time to have him and then my dream went straight to me holding him and then I woke up because it was 4:00.

I got two things out of this dream. 1--I have no motherly intuition about what sex this baby is going to be. My subconscious took the easy way out and gave me one of each, and 2-- I seem to not want to think about the actual birthing part of this whole having a baby thing.
