29 weeks

Today I'm 29 weeks along in my pregnancy. Baby b and I flew to Florida to visit family for the weekend. We did pretty well with the traveling except our second flight (out of Atlanta) was delayed 3.5 hours which made for a really long night. But in the end at least we're here safely!

On Friday Mom and I had lunch with Nonna. Of course we had cheeseburgers which are her favorite. She looked really good and we took a moment to snap a photo of four generations. (I'll post pictures when I'm back home). Then in the afternoon Mom and I went shopping at some baby stores in town. When we got back to the house there were roses waiting for me and baby b.... my husband is so thoughtful... thanks for thinking of us Blair!

Me and my Nonna

4 generations: me and baby b, my mom and Nonna


My mom and her two friends Jane and Dalia are throwing us a shower on Sunday afternoon. I'll be sure to post pictures when we're back next week.

Here's what baby b is up to at week 29:

Your baby's head is in proportion with body now. She appears more like a newborn each and every day!
Fat continues to accumulate under the skin -- only now preparing for entering the *real world*.
Your baby's brain can control primitive breathing and body temperatures.
Her eyes can move in their sockets. Soon she will be able to follow a blinking light.
Your baby is increasingly sensitive to changes in light, sound, taste, and smell! Various studies show that your baby may indicate preferences (or disdain) for particular tastes or odors at this stage
She is also moving from side to side, but probably still is head up. In the next few weeks, she will move to the head down birthing position. At times you may feel as if she is performing somersaults for a circus act!
Her length is now approximately 15.2 inches and weight is 2.54 pounds
