29 weeks

Today was possibly the first day my tummy felt uncomfortable. It feels warm, itchy, and like it is being pulled outward. The baby must be growing. We are moving right along now.

I had a doctor appointment yesterday. All went very well. The doctor was very impressed by my glucose readings. He said not many people are able to do half as good a job as me. That made me feel good. I've been working really hard and really limiting the foods that I normally enjoy. I've probably had one cookie in the last 5 weeks, and cookies are my favorite. We had an ultrasound, and it's a little harder to "see" the baby since he is taking up so much room in there. We did get a pretty good view of his face (non-3D), but his eyes look very cutely-spaced, and he was yawning. He was moving around a lot, right down to wiggling his toes. Dr. confirmed again that he is a boy. He said it's blatantly obvious. SO fun! Baby, here is one of your little feet!

I can't wait to cup your little foot in my hand. I can already tell that you are just so sweet.

Things were looking pretty positive as far as getting everything all set for you...that is - until we learned that we can no longer stay at this house. We need to be out by the end of July. I don't really know where we will go or how we will manage this. I'm sure we'll have a place to stay of some sort. Regardless, you'll be loved and well cared for. This really isn't anything someone should have to worry about with just 10 weeks left of her pregnancy. But, such is the pattern of my life, isn't it? I'm getting quite used to it. However, even though I am used to it, I don't know how many more times I can handle things like this.

That's about all the updates I have for now. The doctor told me that everything is pretty much done as far as your development. You're just gonna do a little more growing. I have a Group B strep test coming up, a couple more appointments, and then we'll be going every week for some special monitoring. He said I'll get to wear a monitor just like during deliveries...so I'll really get to hear your heartbeat and your movements. I'm praying you and I are both healthy when the Big Day comes (your birthday, that is)!

Little You at 29 weeks! (Doctor says you were head up/breech at the time of the ultrasound....but there's plenty of time yet).
