29 Weeks Pregnant

Another week of pregnancy has gone by and as the days and weeks go by the more excited I get at the thought of getting to hold my baby girl in my arms. This week although the days seemed long the overall week went by pretty fast. I caught a sinus cold this week and it has just so exhausting. I have been feeling so tired this week. I also have had horrible heartburn! On the worst night of my cold I had the worst case of heartburn ever. It lasted nearly 14 hours long and it was not any fun. I got hardly any sleep and feel like I am still recuperating for that crazy night. 

Sleep lately has just been quite difficult, mostly due to not feeling the greatest with having this cold still but, pregnancy related my bump is getting so big and heavy! My baby girl is growing big and strong. Feeling her movements throughout the day and even during the night always puts a smile on my face and brings me so much happiness! 

Also this week we have some pretty big news, we will be moving again. We will be going back to our old place and have our old room again. We have a lot to do to get ready for the move and to get everything ready for our baby's arrival. This now means we will have moved a total of 2 times since I have been pregnant. We are moving back for some personal reasons but it is for the best. I was looking forward to having my sister with me during the early weeks of being a mommy but life happens and things need to be adjusted accordingly, 

So lots of things that need to get done and as soon as I am feeling better I will start tackling things on my to do list!
