Bump Date: 29 Weeks

• Baby is the size of a large butternut squash
• It is around 3 lbs but is within 3 inches of it's final birth length.  Sounds more like a string bean to me!
• Baby is kicking up a storm in there some days.  Other days it seems a bit lazier and I only get light kicks.
• I looked it up to see if there's a point where you should stop exercising in pregnancy, because I'm tired.  That was just wishful thinking though, as long as I'm able I can exercise until delivery.  I'm still physically able to do it, I'm just feeling lazy.
• I took Thursday off to go Christmas shopping in Toronto with my mom.  We drove into a snow storm to do it, but it was worth it.  I finished up my shopping plus got a bunch of stuff for the nursery at Ikea.  It was a very successful trip.  Although not a relaxing day off at all.  I was exhausted at the end of the day and was so sore from all of the walking and standing!
• My belly button is getting a bit flatter but I'm not sure that it will ever pop out.  That's ok with me.
• Feeling more and more anxious about birth and breastfeeding.  Labour just looks bad, I know I can do it, and everyone says it's so worth it and they would do it a hundred more times.  With breastfeeding everyone says it kills, I had to give my baby a bottle, it hurt for 6 weeks straight, yikes!
• We're in the third trimester.  Craziness!
• I miss being able to bend over and having a body that works properly and isn't sore all the time.  I have a massage next week (or this week since I'm a few days behind posting) so maybe that will help.
• It's almost Christmas!  Just a week and a bit left until our last quiet Christmas as a family of 2!
