Happy 29 weeks to us!

Yay! We made it to 29 weeks! With the week of lock down at home and the week and half here, I've got almost three weeks of bed rest under my belt! That's almost three weeks of keeping the Cub safe and sound inside his mud hut and him getting more time to grow big and strong.

I feel like I gained 20 lbs overnight. Last night he was really really low and every kick felt like he was kicking down the wall to get out. It was difficult to sit up or change positions in my bed. It was the first time that I felt super super super pregnant. The good news is that means, hopefully, that he's getting bigger and fatter and taller and stronger.

Monday is weigh day around here and when I got on the scale four days ago I was at 12 1/2 lbs gained. It will be interesting to see what I'm at next Monday. Not that before the bed rest I was out running or anything, but at least before I was walking around getting some kind of exercise. My trips to Target, cruising the isles, could probably have added up to a couple of miles each time. But since I have been on bed rest for almost three weeks with absolutely no form or exercise, I'm hoping I won't balloon up. So far, so good.

Rob brought me some clothes from home this morning (have I mentioned how awesome he is?) and I can't tell you how much better it feels to be in my own threads instead of the oversize itchy hospital gowns. Then my Mom came by with some goodies from Target! Just seeing the bag and pulling the clothes out one by one made me happy! She hooked me up with some really comfy and cute pj's and a couple of soft t-shirts. Is it sad that it totally perked me up and made me happy? I have to admit, I miss shopping. Not that I was even shopping so much any more, but at least going to the supermarket and buying groceries was enjoyable for me. Does that make me weird?

Happy Friday to all you guys. I hope you have big plans to go out and have a drink, or go out to dinner. To my family-have fun celebrating Courtney's birthday tonight! I will be there in spirit for sure:) Cubby and I are going to chill here and celebrate our 29 week victory with Hoag Hospitals version of filet mignon and a little 20/20 on the boob tube. Not too shabby if you ask me:)
