My mornings: The past two weeks or so my mornings have been really hard. I do not want to wake up in the mornings before 7:30 at the minimum.
How far along: 29 weeks!
How big is baby: Acorn Squash, about 15.2-16.7" and 2.5-3.8 lbs.
Weight Gain: I am only up 3 pounds from pre-pregnancy
Appointments: I had my first growth scan on Monday and it went really well. Josephine is measuring about 3lbs 2 oz (68%) which is a little big, but my OB said she isn't worried about it because both C and I are tall. I was also worried that my levels weren't staying good enough for her but she said she doesn't start to consider changing meds until my levels reach close to 50% bad. Currently they are about 75% good. I get to skip next week and then go every week starting 2/23. At 32 weeks we will start the 20 minute non-stress tests and then at 34 weeks we will do another growth ultrasound to check on the progress of things.
What I miss: This week? I just want to eat all the ice cream.
Symptoms: Backache, hips hurt, heartburn, tailbone soreness, it's starting to get overly tiring to walk.
Cravings: Ice Cream and Yogurt.
Food Aversions: Still nothing!
Highlights this week: Because the growth ultrasound looked good I am still very hopeful I won't need a c-section!
Maternity clothes: All maternity, all the time, except for a couple dresses that work.
Stretch marks: Still no new ones, but old ones seem to be pulled bigger.
Sleep: Some nights are good and some bad. It all depends on how much I have to pee, how sore my hips are, and how much my dog crowds the bed.
Movement: Every day and a lot! I can see my belly move now!
SEX: Baby girl! Josephine Mae.
Labor signs: Hopefully not for 11 more weeks.
Belly button: Innie
What I am looking forward to: The baby shower next week!
Milestones: Definitely in 3rd tri. I don't know how many more milestones there are except full term.
Other: My bio dad doesn't take care of himself and because of that he isn't coming to the baby shower. That makes me really sad. I am also feeling some guilt that I couldn't invite more family to the shower. I really wish I had a family member who offered to throw a family shower so they could all come. I just couldn't invite everyone to the ones my friends are throwing. It makes me really sad though that I have no one to throw one (except my sister and she is insane and lazy and wouldn't do one) and C's family doesn't even invite us to things, let alone be the type of people to do that. I really wish we had better families.

On top of all that my dad is flying back to Ohio today to return at an unknown day, but he will miss my shower because my grandma is on hospice and dying.
I am really upset because I can't affoed the money or time to go back and also he didn't offer to spend time with us later, he just assured me he would buy something from our target registry.
