29 weeks

I turned 29 weeks and are amazed that 30 weeks is next week. Geez where is the time going? These weeks are flying by way too fast. I feel as though I'm really miss being pregnant. I'm glad I've enjoyed this time as much as I have. Sure it was a rocky road at certain points, but for the most part I'm ok.

I had my doc appt yesterday and I just barely passed my glucose test. Had it been up a point, I would have had to do a 3 hour test. That drink was awful. It tasted like chalky orange soda. The blood test also revealed that I may be anemic. Meaning, I need to up the iron and calcium. I knew this would happen considering how I don't drink enough milk. I'm going try to increase it naturally then try the iron vitamins. I heard those things can make you constipated so I'm trying to hold out on them.

My midwife recommended that I go ahead and get my bag packed, cut out junk food and keep doing what I'm doing. I've gained 8 pounds to date, which means half of the weight is his. I think he's weighing around 3-4 lbs now. I sure hope this little boy isn't a huge baby but I do want him at a healthy weight.

I can't believe today is Wednesday! Gosh the week has flown by. My baby shower here at work is on Friday. That should be an interesting day. I just think it's sweet that the people I work with are throwing me one. It's just too sweet. I can't wait! This makes the whole pregnancy experience real. I'll just have to figure out how I'm going to get all this stuff in the house. and who knows, I may not end up with a whole lot of stuff. I sure hope I do though! I'm so excited.

Other than that, no new news to report. Just trying to take things one day at a time and get ready for baby boy. I've been having second thoughts about my crib though. I keep hearing how boys are rough on furniture so I may have to retalk this thing with Ken about the crib set I selected. I don't know. I'm going to do some research this afternoon and see what he says. It may be nothing but I don't want to buy something Kendall tears up as soon as he starts walking. We'll see.

I'll be doing my 30 week photo shoot next week. I'm going to have my brother take the pictures this time. We'll probably do some outdoor nature type shoot. I saw something like that on Mothering.com and it was beautiful. Now, I'll just have to find a park to do this at.
