29 week update

How far along? 29 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Up 26.3 overall (+.6 last week)
Maternity clothes: Yes, and even my maternity shirts seem to be getting shorter!
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Pretty good this week. I’m having more and more dreams about the baby – especially of us together in the nursery, like me singing her to sleep.
Best moment this week: Finishing the nursery!
Movement: She makes me laugh sometimes, because she gets so wild in there. Her most active times are right after work, around 6:00, and before bed, around 9:30. She just goes crazy. I even have to wait for her to settle down sometimes to go to sleep. I love it though; it is truly the most amazing thing to see her moving around.
Food cravings: Hot & Spicy Chicken sandwich from McD’s – I had been craving this since Monday, so I got one today (my unhealthy splurge of the week); marshmallows; watermelon
Gender: It’s a girl!
Labor signs: Nope.
Belly button in or out? Still in (Thank you, God!)
What I miss: Nothing really, this week. I’ve just been enamored by the babe so much and am really enjoying being pregnant this week.
What I am looking forward to: My childbirth classes that begin next weekend and my shower.
Weekly Wisdom: I think Baby Wise is just a good book all around – this week I’ve been reading a lot about breastfeeding, and this book has a lot about it. Also, today someone told me they’d highly recommend taking the laptop to the hospital. It was a “lifesaver” for her husband, plus you can send out an e-mail to everyone at once and include a picture.
Milestones: Baby was big enough for the doctor to tell what position she’s in, but we’re told she’s still small enough to flip if she decides to. She’s currently head down, with her back on the right and butt up kind of by my ribs. She’s kind of in a “C” shape and her feet are either up by my ribs or lower, if her knees are curled in.

You'll notice in my picture that our living room looks pretty bare. We ripped up the carpet and are refinishing the original hardwood floors (when I say "we" I mean Ryan & some hired help). :) My very gracious and generous mother has agreed to come help me start painting on Saturday; Ryan & I will finish on Sunday. By next week, our living room will have a new look to it, including some new comfy furniture that will be delivered next weekend. I'm super excited! I know I especially will be spending a lot of time at home in the near future, and I'm so thankful that my sweet grandma has let us do with our living room whatever we desire to make it homey for us. Here are some "before" pictures; I will post some pictures once our project is complete.
