What the baby is up to:
You’re probably already getting a little preview of baby’s personality, the more your feel him move. You might get some playful kicks and jabs, and start to feel little hiccups, too! At 29 weeks, he’s not just moving a lot, he’s also plumping up. And as he continues to put pressure on your digestive system, you’re going to feel the effects: hemorrhoids, heartburn, pelvic pain and frequent urination are all common at this stage in the game. Week 29 is a good time to start finalizing stuff, like stocking the nursery with baby care essentials and checking out a few potential day cares. You’ll also want to start packing a few things you know you’ll want with you at the hospital at baby’s birth. Leave it by the door, so you can add stuff you think of along the way -- and so you can grab it at a moment’s notice.
I really need to get going on getting things ready for this little one. I just can't seem to get in any rush to do anything. I have no idea what to bring to the hospital, we don't have sleepers for winter, and we haven't even figured out the room for sleeping situations with AJ. I feel bad since I was so super excited at this stage with AJ, having my shower around now, registering, etc. This time, eh, whatever. Poor girl.
