29 weeks (2/17 to 2/23)

Baby is the size of:  Acorn Squash

Weight Gain:  Dr. Scale on 2/12:  +24 (According to scale at home on 2/11: +18)

Sleep:  Can't get enough.

Best moment:  Passing my 3 hour glucose test!  Thank God I can still have Briqs!!

Worst moment:   Finding out I failed my one hour glucose test and having go through the 3 hour.  Never again!!  

Food cravings/aversions:   Nothing really. 

What I miss:   Warm weather!  Someone please tell Mother Nature that it is the end of February, not the beginning of January!

What I’m looking forward to:   Snow and ice melting.  It sucks doing the pregnant lady shuffle/walk on it!  I've already fallen numerous times..blah!

Goals:

• Work out!
• Finishing decorating Tavin's big boy room.  It's all painted.  Just have to add the finishing touches :)  We have it 99% done.  Just have to add a few things and move his stuff from the nursery down to the room!  
• Prepare freezer meals.  I have everything planned.  Just need to find a weekend (and enough room in our freezer) to do it all.
• Prepare lactation bars/cookies
• Start organizing craft/guest room We started working on it.  It's a slow and not finished process.  The plan is to re-use our old kitchen cabinets/countertop for a computer/sewing desk/storage.  So until that is out, it won't be completely finished.

Fun in the Snow!

We've been trying to get Tavin outside as much as possible this winter.  (Read:  When it's above 20 which is about once a week).  We were able to play outside when we visited Grandma and Grandpa's in early January.

Here's some pics from the day

Goals:

• Work out!

What I’m looking forward to:  Feeling accomplished with getting organized!

Goals:

• Work out!
• Sew! Sew! Sew!  So many things to sew so the room can be made into Tavin's room.  Update:  Just when I think I'm almost done, I find more projects!!  I really need to stop while I'm ahead!  I'm finally done!  There are still things I could sew, but I got everything done I wanted and then some :)
