29 Weeks*
How Far Along: 29 Weeks* Size of Baby: Butternut Squash Weight Gain: 17.5 pounds Movement: I feel like I have a little Mexican jumping wee-bean in my belly! She loves to move and I can feel her all the time. This morning it feels a bit like she is doing the running-man on my belly–just the idea of it makes me laugh. haha! Her movements are definitely getting stronger and on more than one occasion I’ve gasped out loud when she gives me a good kick–more out of surprise than pain. It’s amazing to me that the feeling has changed from little pokes to giant kicks! On Sunday we had…

…is she pregnant?
One of my favourite aspects of being a pregnant substitute teacher is the looks I get from the staff in schools I don’t regularly go to. You see, in my mind there is no mistaking that I’m pregnant. Thus far I’ve managed to keep my weight gain and growth within a healthy limit and the only really noticeable expansion has been in my belly. If someone was looking at me from behind I could see how there could be some questions, but when you look at me head on I think: “BABY!” …apparently not. haha A little while ago I was called to go to a school that I have…

28 Weeks*
How Far Along: 28 Weeks* Size of Baby: Chinese Cabbage Weight Gain: 16 pounds (Still no movement here…) Movement: She has been dancing like crazy this week! After my big scare last weekend, I’ve been very conscious of her movements and when she is most active. I typically feel her all day long, especially when I shift positions from sitting to standing or laying down. I can feel her most when I lay on my side–it usually feels like she’s river dancing on my belly and it always makes me laugh. The Hubster is starting to be able to feel her on a more regular basis, and this morning she…

27 Weeks* (And a dash of horomones)
How Far Along: 27 Weeks* Size of Baby: Cauliflower Weight Gain: 16 pounds Movement: Annnnd cue pregnancy hormones! My little wee-bean usually moves all the time–she is constantly turning and stretching and I’ve become quite used to feeling her poke around in my belly. I went to have a massage on Friday, and after I left I noticed that I couldn’t feel her moving around as often. She continued staying quiet on Saturday, and by Sunday morning I was feeling a lot of anxiety about it. Everything I’ve read has told me that a change or decrease in your baby’s movements can mean that she is in distress, so of…

A Hard Day*
I cried today. Actually, I cried twice today. And if you want to get really technical, I cried twice at work today. Before the first bell even rang. *sigh* It was one of those days. I didn’t get a call for work last night, so I assumed that I’d be off today. I always get up and get ready for work anyway, but today my heart was only half in it. My back was still bothering me, and I really wanted a day to veg and go thrift shopping–basically just have a “me” day. As the Hubster and I were sitting eating breakfast at 7:20 this morning, my phone rang.…
