Week 29

So, it's already Saturday again. This week has really flown by! For my 29th week it hasn't been too terrible and I probably won't have too much to say, but...

For starters, I had extremely bad spring allergies for like three days and I'm surprised they've subsided for the most part now. They were so bad I had to cancel my appointment with my nurse after she already had to cancel earlier cause she didn't feel well. I also lost sleep because my eyes and nose were runny and the one night I was just constantly hungry. So I've had plenty of fluids and took a day to catch up on all the sleep. Since then I have felt better and just feel really dry now, so it seems we really need a humidifier.

Another thing I noticed this week was stretch marks. Not on my stomach, but on my boobs! (Sorry if that's tmi) They aren't extremely noticable, but I wasn't expecting them there. Lol.
I've also experienced some braxten hicks contractions here and there. Like once a day I'll get a strong one if anything. Gotta say, it really does feel weird.  It's like a lot of pressure lower down it feels like, but not necessarily painful. Other times I don't feel anything but notice my stomach harden, so my body is gettin itself prepared for sure.

To add on to the subject of boobs, mine have been feeling a little more sore occasionally, but most likely they're just growing more. And after birth I know they'll be even more sore. So I've got a lot to look forward too...lol. But we all know the new bundle of joy will be worth it all! (:

Other than physical changes, I've been feeling really excited as there's only about two more months left and time just passes so quickly! Also, because my baby shower is soon and I leave in three days for Ohio. Gonna have all this new baby stuff!

So, tomorrow I will have reached 30 weeks with only about 10 weeks to go! Give or take some. ;)

For anyone who doesn't know, I plan to have an all natural and peaceful water birth at my midwife's house. In a future post I'll put more detail on that. So stay tuned!

To add: My week 29 belly shot! Figured I'll start posting these as well.
