#2, 29 Weeks
How far along? 29 weeks
Best moment this week? Had an appointment on Tuesday. Everything looked good. I had commented to Derek that I felt larger this time than with Maya at the same time. Sure enough, I was measuring about 3 weeks ahead. That could mean she's large or sitting funny or have more fluid or could just be because my muscles have done this before. I'm curious to see how big she will be.
Movement? She's pretty active. She is kicking as I type. She has slow days and those always concern me. I usually do an unofficial kick count on those days and she has no trouble passing. My doctor said it's usually because they are turned funny and then you just can't feel it as well. On Tuesday, she kept squirming around and kicking the doppler when we were listening to her heart beat. The doc commented that she was active. A couple of weeks ago, Maya was sitting in my lap and #2 kept kicking her. I asked Maya if she could feel it and she could.
Food cravings? Nothing really. My mouth is generally so dry that I'm drinking water, crunching ice or chewing gum (only the cinnamon kind) all the time.
What I love? Watching my belly wiggle from the outside.

What I miss? Chocolate. The halloween leftovers are still around taunting me.
What I'm looking forward to? 30 weeks. It's not a milestone exactly but it just seems different than the 20s. Hard to believe that if she comes as early as her sister should could be here in less than 10 weeks. Guess we should look at names. I have an appointment in a couple of weeks. Down to every three weeks rather than four for the next few appointments. Then I think it goes to every other week for a while.
Also, not pregnancy related but I'm looking forward to Christmas this year. We put up our tree this weekend and Maya is super excited. She's been asking every day if it's Christmas yet. Although we will miss being with family this year, I think Maya is at a great age to enjoy everything and it should be fun.
Milestones? I the last few weeks I've had several strangers ask me when I'm due. I guess that means I look pregnant enough for them to feel confident asking.
I've been having a lot of braxton hicks contractions the last few days. I started having them way early this time, around 16 weeks. But they weren't that frequent. It seems like with Maya I had them more regularly in the early 30s weeks. Not really a concern, just a nuisance.
