29 WEEKS

We are growing and on the downhill slope of the pregnancy!

How Far Along: 29 weeks

Baby Size: 15 inches, 2 1/2 lbs

Total Weight Gain: 20 lbs.

Maternity Clothes: Absolutely 

Sleep: Sleeping well! Started falling asleep early (9:30) again 

Best Moment This Week: Passing my Gestational Diabetes Test! Thank you, God

Miss Anything?  My "independence" ... I've really had to start relying on Tyler for things (i.e. lifting things, picking things up off the ground, getting up of the couch, he has even had to start helping me roll over to my side to get out of bed!)

Movement:  Yes. Tyler and I just sat and felt her dance around last night!  We even felt a little leg.  We could feel her pushing on our hands, then when we would push back we could feel it give and then come right back! Creation is a miracle - there is a HUMAN in my belly!

Food Cravings:  Pad Thai - not a crazy "I must have it NOW!" craving, but it does sound delicious.

Anything Making You Queasy or Sick?  Nope

Gender: GIRL!

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out?  While I wouldn't say it has "popped" it is definitely not an innie anymore.

Wedding Rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time:  Happy! Although this has been a week for the books at work, so I've been a little more uptight.

Looking Forward To: Seeing my family, watching my sweet baby sister in her last Master Follies, meeting Harleigh Jackson (new daughter to my dear friend Kecia), and our shower in Lubbock this weekend!

Gifts have started trickling in, via the USPS, for our sweet little Ellie!  We are beyond blessed to have so many wonderful people who love our families, us and our sweet child.  

God has continually shown us His love and grace throughout this pregnancy!  I feel so blessed to have had such an enjoyable pregnancy thus far. I know that He will continue to watch over Tyler, Ellie and me through the duration of this phase.  We appreciate the continued prayers and love for our family as we enter a new chapter in life!

Blessed,

Nicole
