29 Weeks

Here is my 29 week shot.


I'm getting bigger and bigger!



Last Friday, April 17th, I had another dr.’s appointment. They said that everything looks good and that I am measuring exactly where I should be. I’ve been having some weird pains at the top of my stomach, they don’t hurt really bad, they are just mostly uncomfortable so I asked about them, and the dr. said that it’s probably just stretching pains. Hopefully I don’t have to “stretch” to much more. I don’t know how much bigger I can get. While at the dr. I had to drink this stuff to test for Gestational Diabetes. I knew I was going to have to drink it, and I was really worried about it because I had heard horror stories about how gross it was. Well, my appointment was in the morning, which turned out to be a blessing since I had to fast for 8 hours before I could drink this drink. The nurse brought me in the drink and I took it with me, since you have to drink it and then 1 hour later you have to come back to the dr. to get your blood drawn. I drank it in the car on the way home, and I actually kinda liked it. It helped calm my stomach because since I couldn’t eat anything I was feeling nauseous and the drink tasted just like really flat sprite, so I was relieved to have it. I haven’t heard from the dr.’s office so I’m assuming that everything is normal.
Anyway, 2 days before this appointment on Wednesday we had our last ultrasound. Our little guy looked very cute and the dr. said everything looks normal. He weighs just about 3 lbs, and is about 11 inches long. I can’t believe how fast the time is flying. There is still so much to do. Andy keeps telling me that “everything will be fine, we’re ready.” I just need to listen to him and stop worrying.
On Sunday Andy and I were able to talk in church. Normally this isn’t such a bad thing, but when you’re pregnant it’s hard enough to make it through a Hallmark commercial without crying let alone a talk in church. Needless to say I blabbered and balled through about ¾ of my talk. Andy on the other hand did an awesome job! We talked with Brother Ron Kirk from the High Council, and he talked a little about my Uncle Carroll and the influence he had on his life growing up. So that was a nice surprise. All-in-all it turned out to be a pretty good meeting.


Here are a few pictures of our little man:

If you look close you can see a very ghostly face.




Here you can see his lips, nose and chin. It looks like he has his face smashed up against a window.



Here is his very sweet profile. He's so cute already!
