29 weeks pregnancy update


Time is flying by, but I don't really mind. Except that I'm getting more and more nervous about having 2 kids. I'm just really hoping that Lilly, that's what we are going to name this little girl by the way, is as good of a baby as Grace was. Minus the whole, "Look Mom, I can be a fountain with my spit-up!" thing. That would be wonderful.
But the pregnancy is going really well so far. I really do love being pregnant once I get over the first trimester sick part. And sometimes while I'm chasing Grace around I even forget that I'm pregnant...you know, for a few minutes, then I get a nice little kick in the bladder that reminds me real fast! And I never forget while I'm trying to sleep at night...but I guess that's just getting me ready for be up a few times a night feeding the baby.
I had to do the blood sugar and iron level test a few weeks ago, and this time I past the blood sugar one with flying colors -with grace I had to go back and do the 3 hour one. But my iron is low, so I have to take yet another supplement, along with my prenatal vitamin, and the extra calcium +d that I decided to take after getting a ton of cavities with Grace. But if that's the worst I have to deal with so far, I really have nothing to complain about. I just want baby and mommy to be healthy.
I've only gained 4lb's so far, but I'm going with my mother-in-law and all the sister's to Banff Canada for a week next week, so that will probably all change from what I've heard about the restaurants there. But I do try to go walking a few times a week, and I have a pregnancy yoga video I like, and just eating healthier then I did when I was pregnant with Grace. But I really do have a sweet tooth right now. I make Sam go get me some ice cream at least once a week. I should probably stop that habit, but it's getting hot, and it taste so good!
Well that's all I can think of for a pregnancy up-date so far. I'll keep you posted if anything more exciting happens.

4 lbs!!? Way to be. You are looking awfully good. I'm sure little Lilly will be a perfect angel. I can't imagine having another baby either. Crazy!
