Baby is the size of a? head of lettuce
Wedding rings on or off? Still on
Ankles? Only mild swelling so far, mainly at the end of my second 13 hour day. I'm supposed to be wearing compression stockings to work.
Pregnancy brain? Obviously so- note my post from 30 weeks :). I also found my cell phone in the refrigerator.
Other pregnancy symptoms? Mainly I feel tired all the time. I'm also having a difficult time sleeping due to my larger abdomen.
Baby likes? All things sweet- especially regular Coke. (I never really liked regular Coke pre-pregnancy). I also really enjoy Frosty's, cinnamon rolls, Publix doughnuts, Almond Joys, Oreos, and anything chocolate. I haven't had any issues with inappropriate weight gain, so I figure I should enjoy this while I can.
Baby dislikes? Nothing really; we love to eat.
Baby misses? Sushi! Who will bring me spicy tuna rolls to the hospital?
Fun things this week?
-The nursery is painted! (Bamboo shoot, in case you were wondering)
-We have many more nursery items thanks to some generous people. We'll be purchasing our big nursery furniture soon.
-I had my first every 2 week appointment, with no problems at all.
Not fun things this week?
-We're moving to our new house, which is fun. Packing, however, is not fun.
-I woke up from a nap having a contraction. Ouch! This one actually hurt, compared to the few Braxton-Hicks I've had that were virtually painless, just awkward.
Looking forward to finishing this pregnancy strong and healthy, and I cannot wait to meet little Gideon!

29 Weeks!
Baby is the size of a? butternut squash!
Wedding rings on or off? Still on, but getting snug
Nursery things? Now that we have a house and an actual nursery, we've been able to find some great nursery items. On Friday, we stocked up on some wall decor. Today, I visited two consignment sales and added some other amazing items. I'm especially excited about the glider and ottoman I found for less than the price of just an ottoman.
How are you feeling lately? Like a turtle on its shell
Baby likes? Fountain coke with lots of ice, milkshakes, and pretty much any food. I like to eat.
Baby dislikes? Nothing really
Looking forward to? Finishing up the nursery and getting moved into our new house
We start our every 2 week appointments on Monday. Hopefully Gideon will continue to develop appropriately and will stay put until he's full term.

28 Weeks and Growing
What an eventful week this has been!
Today was our 28 week appointment. Gideon is growing big and has a great heart rate. Mommy is growing right on schedule, measuring exactly 28 weeks with good blood pressure and weight gain.
Baby is the size of a? Small cabbage? (Which is larger than a cauliflower and a cucumber? I'm so confused.) He weighs in at around 3 pounds and is approximately 17 inches long.
Movement? All the time and all over the place. Last night Keith had his hand on my belly and confirmed what I'd been thinking- Gideon is trying to kick his way out. Wait at least 9 more weeks, but preferably longer, little guy!
Unexpected this week? Last week I said Gideon was good at finding my nerves and kicking them. Today at the Dr. I found out another reason for those sharp pains- apparently last week I had (and passed) a kidney stone. I'd be okay not experiencing that again.
Baby likes? Sweets. Lots of sweets. To the point where I'm about to be banned from grocery shopping.
Baby dislikes? Nothing that I can tell.
New to the family this week? The Gallahair family got adopted this week by a stray lab mix puppy that we've named Lucy. She's around 5 months old and is all skin and bones, but with some love and regular meals she'll be all fixed up in no time. Nelli LOVES having a sister to play with, and they are turning into best buddies. We're pretty sure Lucy was hit by a car at some point in her life, as she has a (healed) broken hip that will most likely give her problems. Aside from that and a few minor puppy ailments, she's a healthy girl. We are very excited to have her in our family.
Since I've hit my third trimester, I'm going to be seen every 2 weeks for the next 6 weeks at the OB's office. I can't believe time is going by so quickly! We need to finish a nursery soon!
