11 Weeks To Go

I cannot believe I'm already 29 weeks....only 11 more to go!  Things are going pretty well so far, except for the occasional leg cramp.  Thank goodness the cramps don't come daily....it feels as if someone has reached inside my leg and twisted my muscle like a pretzel.  Yikes!  On a happier note, my little one is moving more.  He's becoming more active during the day....especially after a good meal.  Ryan was a little depressed that his son doesn't appreciate Mexican food as much as he does.  What can I say....our little one appears to be taking after mommy. I'm not a huge fan myself! 

My growing belly as of today:


Week 29 (update provided by Gerber.com)

By this time your baby may weigh just under 3 pounds and is a bit less than 14 inches long.
Now that organ and nerve development are almost complete, your baby will start gaining weight very quickly—mostly in the form of body fat. This fat will provide insulation for your baby and will fill out most of the wrinkles in her skin, making her look like a plump, healthy infant.
Your baby's brain continues its important developmental work this week. In fact it is growing so quickly now, it may cause her flexible skull bones to swell slightly. The folds and fissures of the brain continue to develop, allowing room for important interconnections between nerve cells. During this week brain-wave patterns begin to look like those of a full-term baby.
