What's up with Baby this week?
29 Weeks.
Our little man is weighing in at 2.5 POUND...
and about 15 inches long.
The size of a butternut squash.
If you’ve been feeling weird little fluttering butterflies in your belly, it’s not just your run-of-the-mill pre-birth performance anxiety.
Actually, it's your amazing baby with a case of the hiccups: a fairly common occurrence at this point, due to them practicing breathing for their big birthday.

In addition to getting a round of butterfly-like hiccups, your little swimmer has arduously managed to accumulate enough baby fat to account for nearly 3.5% of their overall body weight. Yeah, compared to we lardy adults, it’s not very impressive, but considering they used to have NO fat, it’s certainly a healthy (and body-warming) accomplishment in its way.
Another fantastic life-critical accomplishment: your baby's spleen is now in charge of hematopoiesis — the 10 dollar name for the process involved in building up certain important blood components.
Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (about the size of a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain.
To meet his increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because his bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.
Symptoms? Cramping, heart burn, and my sciatic nerve is really bugging me this week. This week has been a pretty hard week for me. Im getting very uncomfortable, and its harder to breath..

Excited For? Baby showers. I found out that i will be having two showers. One in Idaho for my family and one here in Utah with friends and Logan side of the family. I cant wait!!!
Maternity Clothes? OH YES. I think i would die without these.
Sleep? Well it has been pretty bad till i bought this bad boy! It was like day and night. Before i wasnt able to sleep at all. I would toss and turn all night. But now that i have this i feel like a new women!! I think every one that is pregnant needs one of these.
Heart burn has been bad this week again. I hope this means that our little Izaac has a lot of hair! :)

I went in to my new doctor this week.
Lets just say i LOVE my new doctor. She is so fun and just very nice. I was so worried but im really glad i found someone that i really like.
A little bad history.... the weekend of new years i started to get really bad braxton hicks. They were coming about 9 every hour and lasting about 30 sec. I was getting really scared thinking i was going into labor. I called Labor and delivery to see what they thought. They told me to drink a liter of water and lay on my left side to see if that would help. They said give it about an hour and if that doesn't help that i need to come in and get checked. So Logan got me a drink and i tried to lay on my left side. It seemed to be worst on that side and when i would drink it would make them come stronger. So after an hour i called Logan up to our room and said that we needed to go in.
We dropped Connor off at my parents house and headed to the hospital.
We got there and got checked in and back to our room. The nurse hooked me up and started to ask me a million and one questions. My little guys heart rate was a up a little bit but she said it was cause of the braxton kicks and it was nothing to worry about. Finally the doctor came in to check me. I was dilated the same i have been for a few weeks now. 1 1/2 and that i wasn't thinning out. Good sign. They then had me do a few test to see if i had any kind of infection. Everything came back normal.
So all they told me is that i was having bad braxton hicks and that if i had more then 12 an hour that i needed to come back in. Then they sent me home.
But good news Izaac is great!!! But momma is just having a lot of braxton hicks. March 22 cant come soon enough!
Anyways when i went to my doctor she asked me how i had been feeling. I told her pretty much the same but it had gotten a little better.
She check his heart rate and it was wonderful and i was looking great! She gave me a few stretches to do to see if it would help me a little. But she also said that she thinks my Subchorionic hemorrhage is bad.. She told me to start doing the stretches and if this doesn't help that the next appointment she will make me have an ultrasound and see if it is back. She thinks it is back but doesn't want to jump to things before we try others. If it is back i will be put on bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy and will have to take it easy till little Izaac gets here!
I swear after everything that has gone on with this pregnancy i don't want to have any more kids. haha
It has been so different compared to Connor. I just cant wait to our little man is in my arms and i can kiss that adorable face!!
