29 weeks

As of today, we have officially hit the 29th week in pregnancy.  How awesome is that?

Only 11 weeks until Charlotte's due date and Christmas.  Only 10 weeks and 3 days until she should make her appearance.  Hopefully, 11 weeks from today we'll be at home celebrating Christmas morning with three little ones under the tree.

I haven't really had a lot of new symptoms.  I can feel her twist, kick, jump and punch during the day.  Her movements are a little slower, a little stronger and a little less frequent.  You can make out hands and feet a little more clearly. 

Heartburn is still there.  Slowly getting worse.  I'm fortunate that I'm carrying her so much lower than I did Samantha.  I'm sure if she was any higher, the heartburn would be even worse and then I might just cry several times throughout the day.  It does make me less excited about eating a lot of yummy food, but, my weight gain probably appreciates that.

I am up about 30 lbs. With Kaitlyn I only gained 25.  But, she was also only 7 lbs and 3 oz, I was younger, it was my most active pregnancy and I wasn't hungry a lot of the time.  With Matthew I gained a little over 50 and with Samantha I gained 40.  Considering I typically stop gaining and start losing around 36-37 weeks, I think I'll end up right under 40.  Maybe even less, one of the side effects of the p17 injections is increased hunger and weight gain.  This time I will stop them two weeks sooner.  Time will tell.

After today, I have 5 more p17 injections.  Then, I get one week where I shouldn't have to visit the doctor at all: week 35.  After that, I'll go back to every week.  I bet my gas tank will like that...
