Time is flying by

I cannot believe how quickly the time is passing.  I am so excited to meet this baby girl that's been growing in me.  Other than increased swelling in my fingers and toes, and being a bit (I'm sure Andrew would say a lot) more emotional, the progesterone hasn't affected me too much.  I've been swimming every other day and going to my prenatal yoga class once a week. I hated yoga before and nothing has changed with pregnancy.  It's so boring!  I feel great though.

 Baby Girl Update
From my weekly email:  

Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like 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.

How far along?: 29 w
How big is baby?: The size of a squash
Weight gain/loss?: 26 lbs.
Stretch marks?: Still stretchmark free.  woot!
Maternity clothes?: Yes please.

Sleep?: some nights are great, others not so much.  Poor Andrew.

Food cravings?:  Baby Girl and I are still obsessed with strawberries and I'm happy that they are getting more in season.  I also starting eating Whole Fruit strawberry fruit popsicles.  Healthier than icecream, but. still. awesome.

Gender?: Baby Girl!
Movement?: Some days she is super active and others not so much.  I'm pretty sure she is still breech  and facing my back.  I feel kicks toward my butt now.  So wierd.

Belly button?: Still qualifies as an inny, and I'm starting to think it won't pop out.

What are you looking forward to this week?:  The weather the past 2 weeks has been so beautiful.  I hope it continues for my baby shower!  I can't wait to see all of my friends and family.

Notables:

I'm convinced she is going to be a blonde baby.  Andrew was blonde and so was my brother, so it's not out of the question.  I can't wait to see what she looks like!

Jada is super excited to cuddle with her too:
