OVERDUE Baby J Update: 29 Weeks

I'm so horrible. I do this EVERY semester.

I tell myself that once school's out I'll have SO MUCH more time to blog and what not...AND THEN I NEVER DO IT!

But I've come to a conclusion. I've decided: I work at a computer most of the day; so the last thing I want to do when I get home is...look.at.another.computer.

But I'm here, and have A LOT of catching up to do.

Where shall I begin...

1.) I'm in my 29th week of pregnancy:

2.) According to this website, Baby J weighs as much as a butternut squash(apparently about 2 1/2 lbs) and is just over 15 inches, from head to heel:

3.) Also, I HAVE GAINED 6 LBS. IN 4 WEEKS! Woo hoo! I LOVE seeing my weight go up every time we go to the doctor's, lol. I realize I'm still rather small, so most of my weight is probably in my belly, but hey, it's progress & the dr. says I'm doing fine.

4.) The bare-belly picture is at 25 weeks; I just couldn't get any good 29-week belly pictures, but at least now you can compare the difference...kinda:

5.) Our biggest nursery accomplishment yet has been putting together the crib, courtesy of Abuelitos Trinidad. Now, I know I look pretty "hard-working" in the picture below, but my belly kept me from being able to bend over/forward very much, so I did a GREAT job reading the directions and handing Kyle the tools ;):

We really had a lot of fun putting it together. It probably wouldn't have taken us so long, but sweet Kyle was so good with posing for a picture every time I'd ask him (every 5 minutes). My hands are clasped in the picture because I was literally clapping from over-enjoyment (is that a word?) every time a new piece was added on:

I even practiced putting our temporary Baby J in the crib, lol, holding his head and all. And don't worry, there is now a mattress in there, so no need to call child services =):

Here's the finished product with an A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E blanket my amazing friend Noreen made for me. I love her. (She actually made 3 blankets, but that's for another post). Isn't it precious? The room is slowly-but surely-starting to look more like a nursery every day!! I can't wait!

6.) As for me, the entrance into my 3rd trimester has brought back a MEAN desire to nap, all.the.time. The house is a mess, but I just can't find the motivation after work to do anything. Oh well. It'll get done...eventually.

7.) As of our last doctor's appt. Baby J is head down, has "a strong heartbeat & great movement", and is hungrier than ever. He is his father's son :).

8.) And lastly, our little futbol player Loves moving around in his small little apartment. (Apartment because he's only renting temporarily). He's been such a good boy about not kicking me in the ribs too hard; feels more like a nudge. I Love feeling him wiggle around in there; I can't help but giggle every time he does. The best part though, is seeing how excited Kyle gets every time he feels his son moving. It's absolutely adorable. I Love it.

So much Love and probably a little cheesy, but I don't care. Life is good and the people I love are alive and well. i LOVE it...
