Third Trimester! Updates & More

It is very hard to believe that I started my third trimester last week.  I swear it feels like the past couple of months have literally flown by!  I have not been blogging that frequently because we have had so much going on around the house, with our jobs, etc.  At this point the nursery is basically done, we have a name officially picked out (not telling anyone until she is born though!) and we are doing small things around the house to finish getting prepared.  Everyone likes to make fun of me for my organization and spreadsheets, but we will see who will be kicking up their feet come the middle of April!  Anyway, Shawn went to "Daddy Boot Camp" last Saturday and he said that he learned a lot.  They went over basic information and then a veteran dad came in with his little girl and answered questions, gave advice, etc.  Tomorrow and Saturday we will be in our "Childbirth Prep" class.  We are going to create our birth plan, learn about relaxation/breathing techniques, get prepped on what to expect when we get home from the hospital and I am sure much more!  I am excited and nervous at the same time about this weekend because I am eager to check something off my list, but wonder if it is going to make me more anxious.  We have some fun things to look forward to over the next couple of weeks though because we will be having a baby shower at our house for family & friends and then we are going to have a maternity shoot at the end of the month.  Other than that, not a whole lot to really report and I don't want to bore you with all of the details. 

Facts & Fun Details:
*29 Weeks: Baby is the size of an acorn squash and already measures about 15.2 to 16.7 inches long, with weight between 2.5 to 3.8 pounds. Baby is growing white fat deposits under his skin, and his energy is surging because of it.
*I feel her moving every single day!  I am getting jabbed, kicked and some days feel like I am on a never ending roller coaster.  Today it felt like my belly was a windshield and she was the wipers.  Seriously, she kept moving from side to side.  She also apparently finds it funny to just all of a sudden give me a good whack when she doesn't like something that I am doing; such as working out
*Still no real cravings; everyone thinks that is very strange, but oh well!
*Started having trouble sleeping again and getting tired more often, but this is very common for the 3rd trimester
*"Stock piling for Armageddon" - Shawn's quote, not mine!  He means that we have been stocking up on health and beauty items, paper products, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, dog food/treats.  I wanted to do this so that when the baby gets here we can focus on her and not be worrying about constantly having to run to the store, etc.
