This week sure has gone fast. It was a long one with long work hours, but before you knew it was Friday and I'm sure the weekend will go just as fast.
How far along: 29 weeks
Total weight gain: up to 15 total so far
Maternity clothes: oh yeah!- wearing lots of sun dresses w/ sweaters as it's been BEAUTIFUL weather out!
Sleep:rolling over only a few times at night (on purpose), waking up really sore all over, I'm wiped at 9pm every night.
Best moment this week: watching my belly bounce and move all over
Food cravings: ice cream- eating frozen yogurt and sherbet to cut down on calories
Gender: ??? (hoping for a girl)- I'm really thinking girl now.
Labor signs: none yet
Movement: LOTS of kicking and moving.... lots of "across the belly" motion, like dragging your fist along the outside, but inside. :-)
What I miss: being able to roll over in bed
What I am looking forward to:38 days of school left, State Track in May!
Milestones: 15 inches long- about 2.5lbs., size of a butternut squash, Baby Center Page
Next Appt: April 9 for my sugar test and appt. (the Monday after Easter.... guess I won't be eating a lot of candy over Easter. :-/)
Jonah Update:
He finally got a haircut! Since we had a few crying fits and refusal attempts, Melanie Davis (daycare) offered to take him to get it cut when she took her boys on Friday. As he often does with someone not us, he followed suit with Nile and Hayden and got a great cut. He looks so grown up. :-) k
He's always full of energy, has had such a blast with this warmer weather being outside as much as possible. Which ultimately means a little later night to bed. He takes advantage of us letting him sleep in when we can. It's 9:03am as I type this on Saturday morning and we haven't heard a peep from him.
He got to go to the MS dance at North Tama last night with daddy, as mommy had a track meet here in Vinton. Sounds like he had a blast and was a super trooper.
His allergies get the best of him at times. Nothing super consistent which is hard to treat. Liquid allergy medicine in some cran-grape juice seems to help a lot.
Looking forward to only 38 days of school left!

Mr. Jonah
I feel like all my blog posts have been about the newbie on it's way. Totally discluding the bundle of joy that 1st arrived at our house 2.5 years ago. So, here is an update on the crazy 2 yr old in our lives. :-)
A few of his favorites:
Phrases: "I do!" "Thank you, please." "Yes Cuz." "No Cuz."
Foods: PIZZA! hot dogs, rice crispy bars, popcorn, chocolate, gogurt, MILK, and Juice boxes
Attire: tshirts, windpants, shorts, cowboy hat, hawkeye football jersey,
Things to do: depends on the sports season as to what sport he is obsessed with. He runs around in his Fball jersey in the fall, JH practice jersey in the winter, and golf clubs and baseball bat (used interchangeably) in the spring.
He's consistently a lefty these days, although once in a while does something with his right.
He LOVES horses and tractors and semis. His favorite depends on which grandparent he is visiting or talking to. :-)
His vocabulary grows everyday, he talks non-stop and makes sure you know what he's talking about by repeating himself until you get it or pretend to get it. :-)
He loves to give kisses and hugs, especially at night at bed and when we leave in the morning.
He loves to tattle on daddy, be sad to get his way, and say he's sorry right away when he knows he's just messed up. He is also always expending more energy than I could ever dream of having.
Overall he's one of the best things that has ever happened to us and we are so excited to watch him grow each day.

March Appt
Well I went in for my 26 week appt today.
I've gained 15lbs total. Baby is growing well, heart beat is good.
Next appt is April 9 for 1st my Glucose test and then my appt while I wait the hour for my blood test.
Guess I won't be eating a lot of candy over Easter. :-)
PS- I forgot to post in my last post, heartburn has arrived! I've got a bottle of antacids at both my office and next to my bed. :-)

Week 24, 25, 26... :-)
So... life happened and I haven't been on the blog to update you all on the small changes of life. :-) I can't say there have been big changes over the last 3 weeks, but a few. I'll include the big details in my "normal" weekly blurb.
How far along: 26 weeks
Total weight gain: Not really sure what the scale will read at Dr. Hintz Friday. (previously 9 total)
Maternity clothes: oh yeah!
Sleep:tossing and turning a lot, waking up really sore all over, I'm wiped at 8:45pm. I'm getting up to pee more in the night as well.
Best moment this week:
24: seeing the movement vs just feeling it from the inside
25: having Jonah touch my belly as the baby kicked, he jerked his hand away pretty quick and said "eww!" :-) He did want to touch it again later though.
26: Not baby related, BUT we were able to increase our bandwidth at school from 25 to 60 mgb. Let's just say I did a little dance all the way down the hall to tell my Supt. :-)
Food cravings: no major cravings, but I'm ALWAYS hungry, especially in the AM (10amish)
Gender: ??? (hoping for a girl)
Labor signs: none yet
What I miss: seeing my toes (ha) being able to breathe as I shave my legs :-)
What I am looking forward to: Long weekend, no school Friday.
Milestones: 14 inches long- about 1lb and a half., size of an english cucumber(Whatever that is), Baby Center Page
Next Appt: tomorrow, March 16, 3:00pm
My belly button has gone flat, which totally grosses out Joshua. :-) It's getting harder to roll over in bed, feeling like a beached whale already (not a good sign), and I'm looking forward to sandal season so I don't have to zip up boots or tie shoes. :-)
Enjoy the weather! I'm loving wearing sun dresses!
