29 Weeks

Dear Baby D,

I recently read that a very active fetus is not an indication of a hyperactive child - phew! It's actually an extremely good sign and let me tell you, you are all over the place in mommy's belly! Sometimes resting what I think might be a foot right under my rib cage, forcing me to sit up extremely straight at work, and other times it feels like you are pressing right up against my belly, trying to get out! ;)

Mommy still hasn't had any real cravings yet but does need to learn to eat smaller portions - Space is getting tight in there and I can really make myself uncomfortable after pigging out!

This morning I managed to jog one mile and then walked a few but I'm betting pretty soon it's going to be all walking.

Your Garone grandparents (TBD what they will be officially called) came to visit this past weekend - Grammy to help me clear out the house via a yard sale and Grandpa to patch nail holes in your room and paint.

I heard the quick pitter-patter of your heartbeat at last week's doctor appointment and my belly is measuring within the appropriate range, which means you are growing just fine in there.

I found this quote online and wanted to share it with you:


"A mother's joy begins when new life is stirring inside... when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone." (Author: Unknown)

I never imagined the pure content and happiness that could come from feeling you move inside of me or from the sound of your heartbeat. Mommy & Daddy love you so much already!

Love Always,
Mommy
