Week 29 Pregnancy VLOG, baby 4 by Teresa Palmer

WHAT WEEK?
29

HOW BIG IS BABY?
We went to a scan and babe is measuring 2lb 15oz! Apparently babes weigh between 2lbs and 3lbs this week.

WHAT’S SOMETHING NEW THIS WEEK?
Lots more tumbling, kicking and movement, it seems like she’s breakdancing in there. It was quite funny at the scan they said it was a very roomy home for her ha! They say they see that with women who have had 3 or more children that the babies tend to be able to move around and tumble a lot more because the womb is so spacious!

MOST CHALLENGING MOMENT?
Honestly this has been a pretty cruisey week, I guess if anything just getting organised and wrapping our heads around leaving has been something to really put a lot of focus in to as well as getting in last minute catch ups with friends. We’ve had such a lovely time here that to know this home is waiting for us when we return is so nice.

MOST EXCITING MOMENT?
Getting everyone packed up and ready to head to Oz. I’m a chronic overpacker and definitely threw in more than enough stuff for each child! I think we are pretty well organised though. Cannot believe we leave Sunday evening and then in to a two week quarantine with all the kids.

STARTING WEIGHT?
116lbs/52kg

CURRENT WEIGHT?
138.4lbs/62kg so a pretty healthy 10kg so far!

EXERCISE?
Nothing this week, but believe me I’ll be exercising in quarantine to break up the day!

MEALS?
I’ve been sticking with my super healthy food choices, plenty of salads, Lovewell smoothies, Mary’s Gone Crackers, some vegan sushi and homemade vegan chilli!

REFLECTIONS?
I’ve been a bit emotional this week but not from anything other than feeling so grateful for every aspect of my life. I’ve been very moved by so much this week. I think it’s probably just getting closer and closer to my due date too that I just feel an abundance of gratitude to be able to have another child, I know it’s not a straight forward path for so many and I acknowledge how lucky we have been through this process. Watching my kids interact and play this week has really impacted me, it almost seems as thought the age gaps are closing and they’re becoming such a beautiful little trio together. The very best of friends and nothing makes me happier. Excited to see them welcome and embrace the newest little member of our fam.
