Pregnancy #3 - stats, updates, guesses anyone?

Well since I did this post at 29 weeks with Alex, I figured it was only fitting to do it once again with this little nugget growing inside at 29 weeks as well.

This pregnancy has been very similar in some ways to the previous two, and unique in its own ways - of course I am also older, chasing two little ones around, having two little ones climbing all over me, etc.

Once again we did not find out if we are having a boy or a girl, because we really enjoy the surprise.  Ava is convinced it's a sister and that we should name her Cinderella or Belle, but now understands that God gets to pick if it will be a boy or a girl and is open to the idea of a boy...but still convinced it will be a princess. ;)

This little one is positioned slightly differently than what I remember the other two, since it seems like his/her back is more on the inside with little arms and legs facing my belly button.  I feel AND see a TON of movement, usually around 7am, 10am, 2pm, 5pm, 8pm-10pm, and often around 3-4am.  We'll see if these "awake" patterns continue after the baby comes!  I know baby is head down, since I feel these little arms/hands moving right around my pelvis.  I also feel and see larger movements (must be the legs and feet) right above my belly button, often moving from one side all the way to the other.

I've craved breads, cakes, and carbs quite a bit with this pregnancy - and indulged quite a bit during the first two trimesters...of course this has resulted in a somewhat accelerated weight gain comparatively speaking, so I am working on indulging a little less, cutting out juice, and adding in more protein for a healthier balance.  I just don't want to overdo it - I've done great at keeping up with exercise, mainly yoga and pilates, and want to be as healthy as possible for this little one too.

So let the guessing games begin!! :)
