Week 29 and 30

Week 29:
Well, Jacob and I spent this week at Grandma's house in Boise! Jacob had a relaxing week while I got things ready for our trip to Cabo San Lucas. Grandma bought him some receiving blankets that I am sure he will love! I also received some cute clothes from Steph, and a gift basket from Cindy! Thank you Thank you! Jacob is one lucky boy!

Week 30:
Our week in Cabo was really HOT! The temperature "felt" like 130 degrees according to the forecast. I didn't feel guilty about spending time in the air conditioned rooms. The rest of the hotel was open with fans, which didn't quite cut the heat. Jacob was pretty chill during the day. I'm not sure if we could both manage the heat. But when I got inside he kicked up a storm. One night Ben actually felt him roll over. He got really excited. Its fun to guess which body parts we are feeling! We both can't wait to kiss the cute toes we can feel sticking out of the side of my belly!

I will try and post a belly picture for next week! It's getting mighty big and will only get bigger!

And for those of you baby shower goers, I am now registered at Babies R Us and Target. I haven't finished the Target registry because I tried to do it online. I will have to go finish it at the store. I didn't register for clothes because I figure everyone will want to pick something out on their own. I would ask, if you are getting clothes, to get all kinds of sizes. I'm not sure how big Jacob will be, but I know he will grow fast! Thank you!!!

How Big is Jacob?
Well, he is getting bigger and bigger! I love it! Week 29 his weight was comparable to this nice squash right here.

Jacob weighs about 2 1/2 lbs and is a tad over 15 inches.

Week 30, Jacob should weight about as much as this cabbage. Cabbages have never looked cuter! Lots for mommy to love!

Jacob weighs about 3 lbs and is 15 3/4 in.

How I have been feeling:
I still feel really good. The heart burn and the backaches won't get the best of me! I'm into the stage where my ribs start hurting after I have been sitting for a while. Plus I am enjoying the benefits of swollen feet... whatever those are. :) Most of all I've just enjoyed feeling Jacob kicking. My favorite thing to do is to lay down and hold my belly. (He kicks more when I lay down. Or I can feel it better.) I just imagine what he looks like and what it will be like to meet him at the hospital in October! I've never been so in love! My little family will feel so complete now that Ben and I will have a little one to call our own! I feel so lucky and so blessed! I couldn't be happier right now.

  1. Feeling all the flip-flopping around in my tummy was my favorite part of being pregnant too--way back in the day. This was a fun post! :)
