29 Weeks

Little dude is the size of a small head of cabbage, and according to Tuesday's ultrasound, weighs 2lbs 12oz!

Must eat all the food! 

Physical changes: My joints are starting to feel the stress. My muscles are fine. I can physically handle the extra weight. That relaxin hormone is a real so and so though (as my grandmother would say)! Heartburn and reflux have reached new highs as well. Plus, with my stomach being pushed into my throat, nausea is making a little comeback every so often. Still no stretch marks or swelling though. All in all, still feeling pretty good, and that's what I'm gonna keep telling myself, because heck! I'm pregnant!!! Yay!!!!

Happy thoughts: As previously mentioned, I had another ultrasound last Tuesday, and it went great! Our little guy is head down, although it's still a bit early to expect him to stay that way. He was wiggling all over and healthy as can be. After the ultrasound tech finished, the doctor came in to review and said he's practically perfect in every way (well, that's pretty much what she said), and that he had a "beautiful aorta". I'd be curious to see a homely aorta, but I'm sure glad little dude has such a stunning main artery. Haha!

Up next, another check up with my regular O.B. next Tuesday, and my twice weekly non-stress tests start in two weeks. But first!! Our baby shower this Saturday!!!! Woohoo!!

He wouldn't give us a clear face shot, but look how cute his chubby little hand is!
