Happy New Year!!! I'm hitting 29 weeks tomorrow and feeling great about 2013 and everything that is to come. I've started solidifying some plans for the next few months with possibly one last mini vacay and some visitors making their way here in early February. I love the beginning of a new year and the sense of a fresh start. This year is gearing up to be a big one and I can't wait to tackle it, the good and the challenging.

Survey says...
How far along?: 28 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Up +21.5 as of this morning. Right under 160. Hoping to stay here or lose some water weight this week from the flight and eating like I'm carrying quadruplets. I was right about +25 with G. I feel puffier this week too...and not all in the bellay.
Maternity clothes?: Yup.
Sleep: Pretty good. Shared a room and sometimes bed with Grace this week, so that was fun/didn't allow for nearly as good of sleep as usual. She was cute though and would wake up in the pack n' play saying, "Mama? I get up too!" (Newsflash: I'm not up yet, child.)
Best moment of the week:
Movement: Belly shaking all the time. Not sure if this kid sleeps.
Food Cravings: I got nothing. Excited to be back at home as of last night, without as much temptation.
Gender: Girl
Belly Button: Poking out.
Stretchmarks?: Not seeing any.
What I miss: Not much. Already seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
What I am looking forward to: D actually asked me about tackling a pretty big fitness goal together this week, so I am really looking forward to doing that later this year. I was actually surprised that he wanted to do it, given I've asked in the past and he hadn't been very interested. More to come, but let's just say it will allow for lots of mommy-daddy training time and will totally make up for not doing my half marathon at 20 weeks. Guess away. ;) I'm also getting excited about getting some resemblance of my pre-pregnant body back. If this kid is anything like G, she could make her debut in less than 10 weeks. That doesn't seem very long.
Weekly Wisdom: Vacations do the body good...and make it bigger.
Milestones: A week into the 3rd tri and still feeling great!
Grace's space: I really need to dedicate an entire post to Grace right now. She is basically talking in long phrases and some sentences, has added so much vocabulary in the last month or so, and was a ball of personality while we were home in VA. I hardly recognized my shy girl! She really opens up fast when she likes someone and feels comfortable. Plane rides were also probably the highlight of her year. I can't tell you the number of times I heard, "I go on big plane." "Plane up in sky!" She was pumped.
