29 Weeks


I decided if I didn't take a baby bump shot tonight I wasn't going to get one this week...so with PJ's on and all...I showed it off to the camera night time style. 
This week I'm starting to feel that being 5"3 and having a short torso isn't going to be fun. I'm feeling Brynn's legs or arms or something always around my ribs, and if I sit to long I feel like she is reaching my boobs! HA! 
I am loving dressing this bump but I have a feeling that sometime soon that I won't find anything in my closet to cover it. I'm still getting some good heartburn and that's about it. 
I'm really looking forward to turning 30 weeks this Saturday!!! Moving up to Utah and get going on Brinley's room....2 months of unemployed and only nesting!! whoo hoo!!!
I get to see Brinley again on Tuesday as my Dr. wants to see me one more time before we move and have to find another Dr. He also wants to go over my glucose test (which came back great) and talk about my low iron. I know have to take 2 iron pills a day with 2 fibercon pills to help the waste keep moving :) I'll ask him to take home some pictures if I can of her. I figure she'll be here before we know it though so either way.
Also, The moment I have been waiting for since I found out I was pregnant was last week....Ellen's Mother's Day show opened her application processes. Starting last week you could apply to get picked to be on her Mother's Day show (which if you have seen before you know what I'm talking about...if not...it's pretty much christmas times 10 for you and your baby). This takes place on May 10th and I'm hoping I get a call back to be invited!!! fingers cross to all my dear prego friends out there that are trying with me!!!  Either way, I have everything I ever wanted and can not wait to start our next chapter in our life. With the move right around the corner we have been doing some furniture projects BIG time...my favorite moment was when I had to run into Home Depot to pick up more spray paint for Joe and I felt like I was a lady walking around with a pregnant belly and alcohol. haha...spray paint and pregnant ladies do not or should not mix. 
Goodnight!

28 Weeks!!! Welcome Third Trimester
Wow! 2/3 the way done?
She is 2.5lbs now, and 15 inches long!
Nothing new in the past 2 weeks, so not much to say right now...maybe I'll update more later!

27 week Dr. check up

Well, I saw the Dr last Tuesday for my monthly check up.
Nothing new to share about the placenta, still in the same place, but not giving me any trouble.
One thing Joe and I noticed right away was how much bigger she got on the ultrasound screen. She's a wiggle girl. She is looking good in there growing and giving me some growing pains. I weight in 15lbs total now which is ideal for my dr. and I.

The next day I had my glucose test. Joe had been asking me to do it since I was 26 weeks but I didn't want to. I heard it was awful stuff to drink but I knew I was going to do it. Joe actually tried a sip before me when I wasn't looking and said how okay it was. I didn't have to fast just make sure not to eat between drinking it and getting my blood drawn. It was fine until the last sip...but then again I always hate taking the last bite or drinking the last sip. An hour later I got my blood drawn and everything is normal there. All in all is what a test and I was just fine with it.
