The days sometimes seem to pass more slowly, but the weeks are beginning to fly by.\u00a0 How is that even possible?\u00a0 I\u2019m 29 weeks pregnant<\/span><\/strong>, but am beginning to enjoy the counting down rather than counting up- so 11 weeks left!<\/p>\n

This week Baby D is the size of a butternut squash at 17 inches long and weighing 3.1 pounds.\u00a0 How much is Mom weighing?<\/span><\/strong> 22.5 pounds up from the start.\u00a0 Sadly, not an inch taller \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

How I\u2019m Feeling<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Though I still will claim to be feeling pretty darn good, I can tell I\u2019m slowing down a bit.\u00a0 I\u2019m waking up super early, which is making me sleepy come 3:00pm.\u00a0 I\u2019m not usually taking naps though- just fighting through it.<\/p>\n

The oversized beach ball under my dress is making things difficult.\u00a0 Simple tasks, like bending over to pull the laundry out of the washing machine or sitting up from a reclining position aren\u2019t easy anymore.<\/p>\n

But, because I must end on some optimism, Baby D\u2019s kicks and wiggles keep getting stronger and I just stare at my stomach for long stretches of time watching it bounce all over the place<\/span><\/strong>. I love it! I keep trying to video some movement, but s\/he must be a little camera shy \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m Eating<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ve seen a lot of it on W{we}AW<\/a> and the other food posts this week, but it\u2019s a lot more of the same.<\/p>\n

\"salad\"<\/a> \"Vegetable<\/a> \"dark<\/a> <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

How I\u2019m Workin\u2019 It<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

It looks a little something like this:<\/p>\n

Monday: 45 minute elliptical + 20 minutes weights<\/p>\n

Tuesday: 60 minutes yoga<\/p>\n

Wednesday: 60 minute incline walking on treadmill + 20 minutes weights<\/p>\n

Thursday: 45 minutes elliptical<\/p>\n

Friday: Go wild\u2026 maybe elliptical or treadmill, maybe the bike. For about 45-60 minutes.<\/p>\n

Sat-Sun: OFF. Though sometimes \u2018off\u2019 involves some swimming<\/p>\n

This Past Week\u2019s Highlights<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

I had my first baby shower and it was amazing! Family from Green Bay, Indiana, Pittsburgh and all over Georgia came into to join in on the celebration for Baby D.\u00a0 I was truly overwhelmed by the beautiful event and all the gifts we received for our sweet new addition.\u00a0 I\u2019ll let the pictures do the talking!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9374\"<\/a> \"IMG_9383\"<\/a> \"IMG_9398\"<\/a> With my lovely hostesses and Mom! Can you guess who the Nana-to-be is? Hint- she wouldn\u2019t take her hands off my belly! She\u2019s so cute \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9390\"<\/a>\"IMG_9400\"<\/a> The scones were to DIE<\/em> for\u2026 so, so so so good.<\/p>\n

Can you tell I like purple<\/span><\/strong>?<\/p>\n

All in all, another fabulous week is now behind me and 11 weeks left until we get to meet this bouncy resident in my belly. With a 3d ultrasound, another shower (!) and nursery progression coming up in the next few weeks, the excitement continues to build!<\/p>\n
