29 wks!!

Another week down, WAHOO! of course, that means we are that much closer to little Teagan making her appearance.......uh,um...about 9 wks from now!!! Which means to the rest of you.....only 8.5 wks until Christmas!!!!!!!! Have you started your shopping????? Holy crap....I havent bought one thing yet!!!! So that I dont start stressing about the bedroom building, think I will start concentrating on SHOPPING!! I have 4 hours every thursday to myself (Mason goes to school), so that will now be my designated shopping day...

On the building front~ the lumber has been purchased! My brother is coming over to do the heating vents this week and hopefully this weekend we will get a few walls framed!!

Baby at 29wks:

Your baby now weighs about 3 lbs (1400g), measures about 10.8 (27cm) inches from crown to rump and measures about 17 inches (38cm) from head to toe.

Your baby is probably aware of your Braxton Hicks contractions, which you experience regularly, even when you do not notice them.

By this time, your baby is very active and you feel its movements frequently.

Your baby is still practicing breathing movements which have now become rhythmic.

Sometimes your baby gets the hiccups when she accidentally swallows amniotic fluid the wrong way.

She is getting fatter and plumper. On an ultrasound, you can see your baby's activities quite easily.

Your baby has periods of rest and periods of activity now. Your baby is probably most active when you are trying to rest.
