Pregnancy Survey~ 29 weeks

**C-section is scheduled for June 12th.  I am having a amniocentesis the day before to make sure that her lungs are developed.  If they are, then we go ahead with the c-section.  If they are not, then we wait 2-3 days and then do the c-section!!  
 
How Far Along: 29 Weeks- 3rd trimester!

Size of babyYour baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. Her muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and her head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. To meet her increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because her bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.
 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Total weight gain is about 22 pounds.

Maternity Clothes: Yes

Movement: Lots of movement.  She is especially active in the evenings when I lay down to watch TV and rest.  Also, after I eat a meal she becomes more active!

Gender: Baby GIRL-- Olivia Ann

What I miss:  Diet Coke

Sleep: Great!  I have been feeling extra tired this past week.

Symptoms: Feet are sore in the evenings.  Swollen fingers and ankles.  

Cravings: Sweets

Belly button in or out? Flat : )

Wedding ring off or on? On , although one day last week I could not get my rings on in the morning.

What I am looking forward to:  Molly is coming down to visit next week!!
