{Baby Boy E belly (HOLY BELLY!!) at 29 weeks!!}
How far along?: 29 weeks!!!
This week, Baby E is the size of an: ACORN SQUASH!
Maternity clothes?: Oh yes! I'm, basically, wearing the same clothes on a rotation each week! HA! Trying to change it up some, but not really wanting to spend a bunch of money on maternity clothes! So, there's that for ya! hahaha!
Total weight gain/loss: With the size of my belly this week, I'm pretty sure I have gained some crazy weight!! haha!!
Stretch marks?: Not yet! I'm sure it's going to happen, so I'm just waiting! :)
Sleep: Pretty good, for the most part. I have definitely been having some nights that haven't been super, but that's expected.
Best moment this week: Had a super productive weekend! We got our guest bathroom painted, did some yard work (well, my amazing hubby did!), and have been doing some serious cleaning around the house! Mark asked if all this productiveness and cleaning was the beginning of my nesting mode??! hmmmmm... he may be on to something there! Also, had a great time celebrating Easter with family!!
{After a long, productive day, this was a MUST for my feet!!}
{Happy and Blessed Easter from The Ernst Family!}
{Baby Boy E is already being spoiled by his Grandparents!! Such sweet Easter baskets from his Grandparents! Love it! He is one lucky little guy!}
Food cravings: Nothing specific, really! Just food... alllllll the time!! Eating is kind of my thing now... it's what I do!!!! Bahahaha!!! ;)
Anything making you queasy or sick?: Other than too much sugar, nope!
Have you started to show yet?: Uhhhh, yes!! Please see above pictures!
Labor signs?: Nope!
Belly button in or out?: In still... I'm sure it's just a matter of time with that, as well!
Wedding rings on or off?: On, for now. Going to attempt to get them off in the next couple of days! Sad!!!! :(
Happy or moody most of the time?: HAPPY!!! I have so much to be thankful for... don't have time to be moody! Ain't nobody got time for that! ha!
Symptoms: The same! Crazy heartburn... ugh! Also, I'm starting to get that tired, prego feet, hips, and back feeling after long days!
What I miss: Just things that I obviously took for granted... such as, picking things up off the floor, tying my shoes (thank goodness for the warmer weather and FLIP FLOPS!), having enough space to sit in a booth at a restaurant (my belly now touches the table! ha!! Darn those people that thought it would be a good idea to attach the table to the wall... what the heck were you thinking???!), etc. Yes, I know it's going to get worse, but I'm going to go ahead and start complaining about it now! Thank you for understanding! haha!
What I'm looking forward to: First baby shower this weekend!! So excited to spend time with some of my amazing family and friends! Just feeling so blessed!!! Mark and I have such amazing support and we couldn't be more grateful!! Love you all!
Milestones: (Based on a pregnancy app) Your baby is breathing! Not air of course, but they are able to expand their lungs and take in amniotic fluid, building up the muscles they will need to take their actual first breath (BTW, it's not that far away now!). Your baby is learning to maintain body temperatures, which right now stay snugly around 101 degrees. Your little one has also developed the senses of hearing, smell, taste and is making some hysterical facial expressions in utero. With plenty of room to move about, chances are your baby is very active (especially after you eat!)!
Weekly wisdom: Stay hydrated!!!! Drink plenty of water!!
