Baby Lisk is about 2 in a half pounds now and a little over 15 inches long (which I have no doubt about at all)! He's about the size of a pineapple this week. His movements are supposed to be getting less violent and more regular as he's growing, but he's still pretty crazy in there! He still has a lot of fat to pack on before he makes his entrance into this world..which worries me a bit since I'm putting on weight like crazy!
We had a doctor's appointment on the 31st, right before we left for our quick WI trip, and she said everything is looking great. It was my glucose testing appointment so that was a fun one! ;) I really don't mind the drink that much, it's the whole waiting and not being able to eat/drink that gets me more than anything. I'm still waiting on the results which would take up to a week to get back.
I asked her about induction and everything because I was induced with Braxton because when I went in for my visit, I was already 4cm dilated and she didn't want me to go home and not be able to make it back to the hospital in time. She also didn't want me to have a baby bigger than around 7lbs because I have a small pelvis and she didn't think I could have him otherwise. I was worried about this baby because 1. it's the second baby and they tend to be bigger and 2. since it's a boy, it'll more than likely be about a half of a pound bigger than Braxton. She said that since I've had a successful delivery, I can have a bigger baby now. She won't induce me until I'm at least 39 weeks because the baby's lungs aren't fully developed until then. As much as I hope I can do it more natural this time around, I told her I would rather be induced than have a c-section. (Which she totally understood). So, when the time gets closer, we'll see how this all plays out!
How far along: 29 weeks

Maternity clothes: it's all I wear!
Stretch marks: I guess my old ones are starting to show through. :( I need to go get some belly butter stuff.
Sleep: what's that? ;) still having some wicked insomnia and it's just impossible to get comfortable.
Best moment this week: being able to go up to WI and spend time with family and celebrate Christmas- I think we all had a great time but it was far too short of a trip. :( I wish I could stay up there for like a week or so.
Symptoms: all of the same ones as before PLUS RLS and leg cramps.

Movement: all the time.
Food cravings: nothing in particular.
Started showing: of course.
Belly in/out: the top part of my belly button is starting to poke through a bit.
Mood: my moods have been pretty good lately. I just get tired more easily and more frequently.
