There's really nothing new to report here. I go in tomorrow for a glucose screening test to check for gestational diabetes. After this appointment, I begin to see my doctor every two weeks.

The nursery is nearly cleaned out and I will probably go and buy paint today and maybe the room will even get painted this week. We are still a couple of weeks out from receiving the nursery furniture.

Here's an update on our baby this week, the 29th week:

Our baby now weighs about 2.7 pounds, measures about 10.4 inches from crown to rump, and is around 16.7 inches long. She is plumper and rounder, and her head and body are beginning to be in proportion.

Our baby now uses all of her senses. She can see, taste, recognize touch and the sound of our voice.

Today marks the first day of the third trimester. Only three more months until we meet our daughter (if we stay on schedule). Tomorrow I go in for a routine prenatal appointment. Jonathan is going with me since he has the day off and it's the last time he'll have the time to go with me for an appointment since busy season starts Tuesday. His busy season schedule has him out of town and/or working late most of January and February. According to his schedule, he's supposed to be in town the month on March, in case the baby decides to come early.
