Oh Baby Bump!!

29 Week Pregnancy Bump

Who says being pregnant can't bring a little bit of happiness. Although the first few months of my pregnancy was torture with the nausea 24/7 and losing weight because I couldn't eat or drink I am now enjoying my 29 week bump! It was tough but we finally made it. 

This week I've experienced a few symptoms such as heartburn, car motion sickness (if I wasn't driving) and getting the wind knocked out of me. I really haven't had any craving besides those oatmeal cakes and an occasional cupcake. For the most part I eat healthy and make good decisions on what I put in my stomach. Partly because I do not want to be working extra hard in the gym to fight off any unnecessary pounds I could gain from eating whatever is out there. I've never been the type to just gorge on anything and nor have I been the fast food type. 

So I'm pretty much all belly and this baby may come out over 8 pounds! We'll see! Her daddy is 6'2" 235 lbs of muscles and I'm 5'6" 151 lbs (hey hey hey its baby belly weight) I started at 144. So far I think I'm doing great with the amount of weight I'm suppose to be gaining. 

Our little girl is very active and kicks and squirms all through out the day. I hear it's pretty normal and if that changes to call the doctor. No movement in a 24 hour period is bad!  I've also gotten better with taking all these pills thanks to my pill case and my nails have started growing back. I noticed they were constantly breaking and chipping so I knew I had to get on it with increasing my calcium. Problem solved. 

My Pregnancy Tips:

1. Eat your fruits and veggies throughout the day it will help with heartburn.

2. Avoid red sauces if possible if your experiencing bad heartburn.

3. When at all possible stay limber and loose and do some yoga/stretching and pregnancy pilates. 

4. Drink PLENTY of WATER this will help with constipation.

5. Don't over do it on house chores, prop your feet up throughout the day and relax.

6. Try to nap once a day mid day, it will help trust me!

7. If your bra no longer fits and the underwire of it hurts use a sports bra they are miracle savers. Not only do they give you support but they're comfortable to wear under any shirt.

8. Take your prenatals this will help with hair and nails. 

8. Enjoy this stage: rest, walks and naps. Baby is almost here!!
