29 Weeks

Here I am at 29 weeks pregnant...not too much bigger than last week but I have plenty of time for growing still!! Lately I have been having a lot of lower back pain, making it hard to get a good nights sleep. Also my belly has been just as itchy as ever. I'm having to lather on the cream all day long just to avoid scratching it like crazy, lol. Other than that I am enjoying all of the baby's new movements. Before I could only really feel kicks but now I can feel him when he stretches or moves positions in my belly and that is simply amazing! Sometimes I can feel where his head is positioned and I love to just lay my hand on it, makes me feel that much closer to him! Oh and tonight is my very first childbirth preparation class and I am very excited for that, I'll be sure to give am update on how that goes! 

How Our Baby is Growing at 29 Weeks: His lungs and muscles are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. 

28 Weeks: The Third Trimester!!

Today I had my 28 week OB appoitment where I received the results from my pregnancy diabetes test I took on Monday. The results were all fine except that they found that I am anemic again, meaning that I have low iron and so will need to start taking iron supplements. This is nothing new for me as I have been anemic before. Other than that I weight in at 145, so I have gained 2 pounds since my last visit which was three weeks ago. Blood pressure and baby's heart beat were both fine as well. I will now be seeing my doctor every two weeks from here on out. Only 2 and a half months to go!! Which by the way is so insane....I can't believe it is almost April already, time flies! 

In other news Sal and I got some baby furniture this past weekend and I thought it would be nice to post some pictures of the nursery. We still have to get the dresser and some other assesories for the room but I love how the room is coming along, nesting is way too much fun!!

Also I have posted a picture my my belly that we took this past Sunday where I am 27 weeks and three days. Although I am already almost 28 weeks so I am writing about that today. 

How Our Baby is Growing at 28 weeks: Our baby now weighs about two and a quarter pounds and measures 14.8 inches from top of his head to his heels. He can now blink his eyes, which now sports lashes. With his eyesight now developing, he may be able to see the light that filters through the womb. Exciting stuff!!
