29 Weeks into My Pregnancy

I’m in my 29th week of pregnancy. There have been no major developments this week, but…

• My belly has started itching again, but I think it’s the baby growing and skin stretching and not the return of PUPPP.
• My blood came back and I do not have gestational diabetes and I have enough iron so no need for iron supplements.
• I’m thinking of picking up a pair of Keds, not the ones you have to tie up but more like slip on shoes. I read somewhere that they’ve improved and could be good while pregnant.
• In addition to feeling pain on my right side, I’m now feeling some pain on my left side, around my lower back.
• We spent about two hours at Buy Buy Baby looking at strollers, cribs, car seats, and more baby stuff. But I find that somethings are cheaper to register for on Amazon and may have less shipping.
• I’m occasionally feeling some Braxton Hicks contractions.
• I’m definitely feeling zombie-ish these days.
• As I’ve gotten bigger, more people are eyeballing me in the streets.
• My belly is the size of a squash. Next month is a honeydew.
• We’re still looking for a home to fit all our stuff and the baby’s stuff that we will need to get.
