29 weeks...Better late than never

How far along? 29 weeks (and 3 days today)

Total weight gain/loss: 17.0 pounds. 0 pound gain this week

Sleep: Still good.  I am just not getting in bed early enough to get enough sleep.
Movement: ALL. THE. TIME.

Food cravings: Chili-Cheese anything!  and Ice cream

Gender: BOY!

Labor Signs: Well, the Saturday I turned 28 weeks, I began having close but not painful contractions.  These went on regularly all day long, so my sister told me I had to go to get it checked out.  She had preterm labor starting at 23 weeks.  I went, they monitored me, catheterized me(for a urine sample!  I would have loved to pee in a cup.  It burned to pee for a couple of days after that), and checked me(no dilaton!).  I was having irritability contractions, so they gave me a shot of brethine, and that calmed them down.  The doctor told me that I was having braxton hicks contractions that were coming close and regularly.  he told me that if they get worse than that, then I need to come in again.  Also, my discharge papers read to force drink 8-10 glasses of water a day.  Now, I am just living with a tightening unterus.  They are getting on my nerves!  They also monitored Gabe's heart rate, and it never dipped down.  They said he was a very happy baby.
Belly button in or out? Almost all the way there.  Another growth spurt, and it will be gone!

What I miss: I am starting to get uncomfortable.  It's getting harder to breath, and uncomfortable to sit or stand. 

What I am looking forward to: Doctor's appointment Monday (May 9). 
 Hannah and Trent's wedding in 1 week and 4 days, and
I AM GOING TO THE BEACH IN 2 WEEKS AND 6 DAYS!!Tony may be able to take Sunday off.  If so, we can leave on Saturday.

Milestones: Gabe's room is painted!
