Noemi is 29 weeks and 3 days today and about the size of a squash! Her muscles and lungs will continue to develop and mature in the weeks ahead. Her brain is also developing and maturing, with billions of neurons forming daily. She requires more nutrition than ever from 29 weeks pregnant and beyond, so it is important that I eat well and get plenty of sleep during this important developmental period!
How far along? 29 weeks
Weight gain/loss: I'm not quite sure. Somewhere between 16 and 20 pounds though.
Sleep? We've been in Denver for the last few days. Our rental house is nice, but there is no comparison when it comes to mattresses. Our mattress at home is seriously the best thing I've ever spent money on. Plus, I miss my body pillow. Tomorrow night will feel divine in my own bed.
Best moment this week? This whole long weekend has been great. It has been so nice to visit with Jay's family and celebrate the impending arrival of my niece.
Movement: She moves like crazy. I don't remember Joaquin moving this much. You can constantly see my belly moving all over even through my clothes. It's pretty cool.
Food cravings: Fancy cheese.
Belly button in or out? Out and to the right. This was the same with Joaquin. I thought it was because he liked to hang out on my left side. It actually turns out I have mild scoliosis, which causes this.
What I miss? Energy.
What I am looking forward to? I am looking forward to a return to a somewhat normal work schedule. A huge merger I have been working on signed on Friday (finally!) so things should calm down. Thank goodness. I was really at the end of my rope.
Milestones: About 2 months to go, considering how early Joaquin came. Maybe even less than that. I want my little girl to bake as long as possible, but it will also be so nice to finally meet her.
What I'm nervous about: I'm a little nervous about the flight back tomorrow. It's only about 2 hours but flights with a toddler are just hard regardless.
