29 Weeks!

So today I get home from grocery shopping, and Brandon says wow you're really pregnant.  Umm thanks? You kind of see me everyday..but he says that the side view is becoming like really out there.  Yesterday I got a really sharp pain very low, and now my stomach just feels different.  I don't think he's dropped, from looking at myself in the mirror and in pics, but he's definately done something.  Today, putting on a shirt I've worn this whole time without problems, its now a problem!  It's really tight around my stomach.
Me at 24 weeks...

Me today at 29 weeks...

Hmm...it doesn't seem that much larger in 5 weeks, but it sure does feel like it!!..And yes, those are my Skittles on the ottoman, they sounded amazing last night when I was at the gas station.
So 29 weeks means that I can blame at least 2.5 pounds of my weight on Micah now, because he's that heavy and about 15 inches long, about the size of a butternut squash.  His muscles and lungs are still maturing and his head is grwoing to make room for his developing brain.  Hopefully he doesn't get my massive head though!  My app says he's also really soaking in the calcium right now, so I have to make sure to drink lots and lots of milk!  This week he'll grow to be 15.7 inches long and about 2.75 pounds, or the size of a cabbage.  He's going to continue to breathe, and get the hiccups, which I have felt quite a bit of this week!  According to my app, it says that most women gain about a pound a week from now until the end, which would be fine with me.  I only have 9 more weeks, which would be 9 pounds..which would put me right around prepregnancy weight..yup!  I'm perfectly fine with that idea!  I don't like however how much my stomach hurts all the time now, just since yesterday afternoon, its so uncomfortable and feels more in the way then it did before.  I feel like when I walk, I need to help hold my belly up because it hurts.  I'm starting to think it might be time for one of those support belts my doctor told me about.  I'm also thinking I should start planning out soon what is going in my hospital bag, not pack it yet because I'm always a last minute packer...but at least start gathering what I want.
Only 63 more days!
