29 weeks

How far along:  29 weeks  (3.19.15)

Total weight gain/loss: 20 lbs.  for the past two weeks, the numbers have been higher during the week, but when thursday rolls around, it's already come back down again.  i'll take it though!

Maternity clothes:  same as before.  i'm honestly shocked that i'm doing so weel with my jeans still.  although the ones that are still fitting fine now are the ones that were always falling off my hips before.  i wore my black maternity dress on sunday for the first time.  

Sleep:  not the best but not horrible.  i hate to complain because i'm not getting out of bed a million times a night for bathroom breaks or up for hours at a time... but i'm still having weird dreams, and the past few nights, i've had a lot of airplane sleep where i feel like i'm awake and dreaming.  also, i'm waking up more easily so like this morning, i was aware when chris woke up sometime during the four o clock hour and then aware when we went to the bathroom, ran on the treadmill in the basement, shaved, showered, got dressed, etc.  i wasn't wide awake, but i was fully aware of everything going on and just half sleeping through it.  as a result of all of this... i am exhausted all day, every day.  so so so tired.  not falling asleep on my feet like i was with abigail, but i'm almost incapacitated with fatigue.  i spend a lot of time sitting in bed and browsing the internet because i don't have enough energy for life but yet, i can't go to sleep in the middle of the day while the kids are running around.  

Best moment this week:  man, i dunno.  it's been just a fun and normal week.  nothing in particular, but it's all been nice.

Movement:  holy cow it keeps getting stronger and more constant!  what week does it start to slow down from lack of space?  because this is intense.  i love feeling the baby moving all the time, but it's kind of consuming and tiring.  also, i can tell she's getting bigger because she is so down low and so high up in my ribs.  and she still prefers my right side.  

Food cravings:  it's getting kind of hit and miss with eating again.  i still like frosted flakes with whole milk (in bed) every morning.  and i still like my usual scrambled eggs on toast for lunch.  but after 2 o clock... food just looses its appeal and it's such a struggle to come up with something to feed the kids.  and i haven't made a proper dinner for honey since we got back from our trip.  i need to get with the program but i'm just so tired and any food requiring more than five minutes of prep time just isn't worth it.  i will say that i've had a few otter pops this week that have really hit the spot.  

Symptoms: fatigue, laziness, weird dreams, airplane sleep, headaches, and nausea

Gender:  girl  ; )

What I miss:  having energy

Milestones:  ehhh...
Theme: the week of being sooo tired
What's different this time around:  with abigail, i started getting really tired during the beginning of the second trimester and it stayed until the end of pregnancy... no burst of energy or nesting at the end.  with brady, i never got the extreme fatigue, but i think i got a normal amount of tired during the third trimester and then got the burst of energy from 36-38 weeks.  so this is just kind of in the middle i guess.  

Extra:  i'm too tired and lazy to think of anything right now.
