29 weeks

I realized that from my last post I forgot to add how the little guy has been doing.  Other than the little scare that we had he's been doing great.  He's been letting me sleep pretty soundly at night, with a little help of adding a few more padding under my tummy.  I still get up about 2x's a night...which is sooo much better than 4x's in the beginning, although I feel like I go a lot more during the day!  Especially at work, I feel like I've earned to have my name engraved in one of the bathroom stalls at my work!

Energy:   When I entered my 3rd trimester it seems like it went on a decline.  I've found myself sneaking in a nap a few times a week.  It's been nice surrendering to a nap, but I always feel so guilty shortly after. I have so much I want to get done before he comes, so I decided to go back into the gym and get the heart rate back up again.  I believe that staying active and being on my feet really helps me get my energy back, as well as having an easy pregnancy.  Although my work out is very limited these days, I try to at least get some good time in and get my sweat on!

Appetite:  I've never been a snacker, but I think that this time around it's a must!  It's funny cause when I leave the house I always make sure I have the following: Keys, cellphone, purse, and snacks (which is usually a bag of wheat thins).  Having a snack in between my meals really helps with not over indulging come lunch or dinner time!  Along with my appetite I've been experiencing with a little heart burn.  It usually happens after dinner or when I turn in for the night.  I get this acidy taste around my throat and it's just disgusting, so I've surrendered and have decided to not eat too close to bed time.

Appointment:  I had my last monthly appointment last week and I have been really dreading it because the last time I went in my Dr was a bit upset about the 7lb weight gain that I had!  It totally wasn't my fault though!!  I was on vacation!  So since then I've just a bit more cautious about how much I eat and really understand that just because I'm pregnant it doesn't mean that I'm ok to eat whatever I want!  Anyway, the appointment went well blood pressure is good and I was only up 1lb. HALLELUJAH!!  Wich puts me at a total of +14lb from my pre-pregnancy weight!  I got to listen to his heart beat and it was nice and strong!  After this appointment I am now going in every 2 weeks!  I still can't believe that I'm so close to the end.  It makes me so much more excited to meet him!!  AAAHHH!  I'm so excited!!


Brandon so far:

He's growing white fat deposits under his skin, and his energy is surging because of it! You may feel some playful kicks, and jabs, and a little hiccups!
