We Have a Squash!

Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped me off) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though they don’t coincide with mine. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments!

So I haven't been great about the whole belly pictures thing. I was trying to do it every 2 weeks, but, ya know, time got away from me...or something like that. Actually, I just haven't been that into documenting my growing girth. But, for those interested (all 2 readers) here you go!

Here is the covered version:

Here is the nekkid version:

I cannot believe how much bigger my stomach has gotten in 6 weeks! I remember thinking what a big belly I had at 22 weeks and now looking at it, it looks so small! Oh, and for all you jerks who were wondering, yes, I have photoshopped out my stretch marks. Those just shouldn't be put on public internet display!

How far along? 29 weeks 1 day!

Best moment this week? Watching lost with Grant.




Food cravings? No cravings really, but I have noticed my appetite increasing for the first time during this pregnancy.
