29 Weeks- And the Madness Continues!

I went for my next-to-last 3 week check up yesterday.  It ended up being the most interesting visit to date.  Not only did I forget to leave a urine sample, but just before the nurse hooked me up to check my blood pressure my nose started gushing blood.  Okay, maybe gushing is a bit exaggerated but "steady flow" is too menstrual.  Either way it was creepy and gross and would have made Creepy-chan totally jealous.  (ANTM reference.  You're welcome.)  To summarize: everything looks great, measuring right on time, passed my sugar test and doctors still shrug their shoulders and say "pregnancy" when you ask about back pains that keep you curled up in bed.
How far along?
29 weeks (I delivered Zooey just shy of 36 so I'm starting to get a little antsy!)
Maternity clothes?
Pants are entirely optional at this point.  (Yes, still.)
Stretch marks?
Possible extension of one and only boob stretch mark.
Sleep?
I can't get enough!  There's never a chance to sleep in and I spend Zooey's afternoon nap helping Daniel get ready for work.  I spend most of the day trying not to doze off on the couch while Zooey is playing.  
Best moment this week?
Zooey got to hear the baby's heart beat yesterday.  She just sat on Daniel's lap, staring at my stomach with the most dumb founded expression on  her face.  Cutie.
Food cravings:
Milk- chocolate, white, strawberry!  ALL THE MILK!
Belly button in or out?
It has a small, funny little lip at the top but not really sticking out.
Movement?
Kicks and punches are starting to be really painful.  I remember this happening with Z, but I guess I had forgotten how bad it could get.
What I miss?
Sleeping on my tummy.
What I’m looking forward to: 
Crib shopping this Saturday!  And Anna's baby shower!
Milestones:
"Your Mini's skin is looking less wrinkled as she packs on the pounds. She's starting to look more like a Pampers model and less like a Depends model. She's now beefing up on the energizing and insulating white fat she'll be born with (unfortunately, white fat is not energizing and insulating for adults!). "
"This week your baby is a little over 15 inches long—about the length of a loaf of bread—and weighs about 3 pounds, as much as a Macbook Air laptop."
What baby looks like this week:
