Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments. 29 week Update:
How far along? 29 weeks and 2 days!
Total weight gain/loss: about 23 lbs
Maternity Clothes: just bought slippers to wear while I teach - my feet have been swelling too much to wear regular shoes :(
Sleep: Not so good. I'm waking up around midnight every night and can't get back to sleep until about 4.
Best moment this week: I really enjoyed the first day of school and meeting all of my brand new students! I also liked being told that I do NOT have a blood clot in my leg!
Movement:I can now tell when I can feel her head/butt versus when she is jabbing me with her elbows/knees. Very cool!!
Food cravings: Honey nut cheerios, milkshakes, and tater tots
Gender: Girl
Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks contractions sometimes when I'm laying down.
Belly Button in or out? neither???
What I miss: Being able to wear normal shoes. ::Cries::
What I am looking forward to: MFM ultrasound this weds. I can't wait to see how much GB has grown!

What is MFM? And what kind of slippers did you get? I bet they're super cute! Do you know any of your students or are they all completely new faces?
MFM is the maternal fetal medicine specialist. I go in once a week now for ultrasounds until GB is born. The slippers aren't very cute - they are pink Granny slippers :(
All my student are new this semester, although I am teaching a LOT of younger siblings of former students.
I can't believe you're 29 weeks already! So glad to hear you do not have blood clots!
