Pregnant thoughts 29 weeks and other ramblings

Pregnancy is still going great! This week we have an appointment with another ultrasound and glucose tolerance test. Hopefully I pass!
How far along: 29 weeks
Total weight gain: haven't dared step on the scale lately so prob too much!
Sleep: for the most part pretty good! Not too uncomfortable yet thank goodness!
Best moment this week: this was a couple weeks ago but we were getting an ultrasound and the tech said look at the screen. What's your baby doing with her hands? I thought she was saying rock on and Jared thought she was hanging loose Hawaii. No! She's saying I love you in sign language!! Aww.. Cutest thing ever!
Miss anything? Nope
Movement: constant throughout the day! On Easter we were taking a nap and we could just see my belly bouncing so Jared would press down and she would kick do hard!! It was so fun to watch her play with her dad!!
Food cravings? Still anything and everything!
Anything make you queasy or sick? Sometimes at work certain odors from patients get to me but for the most part no.
Symptoms: growing belly
Belly button in or out? Still in but closer to coming out!
Biggest fear for the future: getting everything ready for her and of course her health!
These last couple weeks have been a little difficult! We have been so busy with finishing up school! My grandma thornley passed away right before Easter and even though we knew it was coming it was hard! My grandpa has been gone almost 18 years and she's missed him so much! She's had Alzheimer's so she was to the point she couldn't remember out names but you always think your grandparents will be around forever! I was excited because grandma was going to have 3 new great grand kids within 2 months of each other this summer but I know she's up counseling them and preparing them to come to our family! I was scheduled to take my boards when she passed away so was stressed about not passing them since there was so much on my mind that week. I took them Tuesday morning, went to her viewing Tuesday night, and funeral wednesday. I was so stressed that I hadn't passed but paid Thursday morning to get my quick results and found out I did!! Jared had left to take his rad tech boards that morning so when he called I shared my good news and he had some of his own.. He passed too!! It's been such a long road but we are so glad to be at this point in our lives!!
I went and checked out city creek center with my family! Such a pretty place! My dad is just a goof and I always laugh when I'm around them!! I am done with my first semester of the bachelors program and am so excited I have the summer off to play and get ready for the baby! Have to throw in a pic of mylittle jo! She loves the ranger! So much going on in our busy lives!!
