Lima Bean: Week Twenty Nine


How far along: Twenty Nine weeks as of Wednesday, April 30, 2014. 
Size of baby: Lima Bean is about 15 inches from head to heel and weighs about 2.5 pounds, the weight of a butternut squash.
Maternity Clothes: Of course.
Movement: Lima Bean is a mover and a shaker!
Sex of baby: It's a girl!
Sleep: Fine.
What I miss: Having energy!
Cravings: Fruit.  A big bowl of cut-up fruit really hit the spot this week.
Symptoms: Braxton Hicks contractions.  I never really had them during Henry's pregnancy.  This time, they began pretty early, around 21 weeks or so.  They were very frequent this week, particularly one day when I was very active--cleaning the house and chasing after Henry.  I know that they are related to too much activity, so I am trying to take it easy if I get more than 2-3 in an hour.
What I'm looking forward to: The weather warming up, so I can wear my short-sleeved maternity tops and dresses.
