Pregnancy Update

Now that I have "binge blogged" and you are up to date on everything, I will blog in real time. Today I am 29 weeks, 3 days- only 10 1/2 weeks to go! I went to the doctor last week for my routine check up. I stepped on the scale and was in disbelief when I saw that I had gained 8 pounds in one month! No wonder my back is hurting and it's getting harder to be comfortable enough to sleep at night. I didn't realize that I had such a ferocious appetite! All my measurements are right on though and the baby's heartbeat was 145. He is very active and I'm starting to feel like a human punching bag. It's so amazing to feel how strong he is getting! I go back to the doctor next week- already time to start going every two weeks. I am surprised at how fast the time has gone by. Before I know it, it will be January and I'll be rushing to get everything just perfect for our new arrival.
28 weeks and growing!


Rob always laughs because the minute that he gets out of bed (which is well before it's light outside), I make myself incredibly comfortable. I steal his pillows and lay right in the middle of the bed. What is under that mess of blankets is a cluster of pillows; there's one supporting my belly, one between my knees, one behind my back and, of course, my favorite feather pillow that I rest my head on. The best two hours of sleep that I get everyday :)

I'm glad to see that there's another BED HOGGER out there! I totally understand where you're coming from... there's just soo much comfort in knowing that you have all the pillows you want. It's the simple things that bring us sheer bliss! :D

You look adorable by the way! you probably don't feel it, but your working it! :D

Your little belly is so cute. Is it horrible that I've only taken ONE belly picture of this pregancy so far?! You've inspired me to do my hair tomorrow and try to take a picture. :0)

I totally do that when Steve gets out of bed in the morning. It is so nice to have it all to myself!

You look adorable!

Congrats on the baby, you look wonderful. I started that habbit with pillows when I was pregnant and I still do it. I hope everything continues to go well we miss you guys.
