February.

How far along?: 29 weeks, 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: Nope, not doin' it.
Maternity clothes?: Packed away the first few shirts that I've officially outgrown this week. Sigh.
Sleep: Not terrible.
Movement: Strong enough to be felt all the time; sitting, standing, lying down, doesn't matter. Upon feeling a kick this week, the husband let out this scared sound & then said "Doesn't that creep you out?" Let's just say he's never found the joys of pregnancy to be as endearing as other fathers-to-be.  
Labor Signs: Nope.
Food cravings: I eat somewhere between 1 & 3 bowls of cereal every day. It's not exactly a craving, but rather my attempt to eat something slightly healthier that still satisfies my sweet tooth. I eat plain Cheerios every morning, so I go for something with a bit of sugar in it at snack time (I ate an entire box of Special K Cinnamon Pecan for snacks this week.)
Gender: We've started the name conversation, which is like pulling teeth with the man I married. As we've done with both of the other kids, I've made 2 short lists and then the husband helps narrow it down (he prefers it this way.) He has the lists so now it's just a matter of convincing him it's time to make a decision!
New w/pregnancy #3: ...
What I miss: Being able to get down on the floor to play with the kids with ease.
What I am looking forward to: Spring! (Enough already with the cold and the snow, Mother Nature.)
Best moment this week: We had another ultrasound on Friday to check on a few things with the little one. I'm thrilled to report that Rocket is doing great! He or she is certainly running out of room already; it was funny to see how big the profile was compared to what you see at 20 weeks. And, as I anticipated, Rocket is weighing in at 3 lbs 5 oz already, a full 13 oz bigger than average.
Milestones: We made it February! I wasn't sure we were going to make it through January; it was rough, y'all. Between the weather and the husband's insane work schedule and the fact that January is the looooongest month ever, it was really touch-&-go there for a while. But we made it, and we're now that much closer to meeting our new little buddy!
