29 weeks

25 weeks... not the best picture It was taken kinda late at night after a long day at school

29 weeks... I'm not sure if there is much of a difference between these two pictures

You're all probably so sick of hearing about pregnancy stuff.. Sorry but I gotta keep it recorded. I'm 29 weeks now YAY FOR 3RD TRIMESTER!!!! I have 11 weeks to go, but secretly I'm hoping I take after my mom and sister and go early. Pray that I do.

Basically this pregnancy is going well despite the complications that I have blogged about previously, but honestly I am not going to complain because I know plenty of people who can't get pregnant at all. So I've decided to be grateful.

My last appointment I was tested for Anemia and Gestational Diabetes luckily I am not diabetic but I am anemic. I wasn't surprised at all because I always had low iron before I was pregnant. Ron was reading about the symptoms about a month ago and he just laughed cause I hady just about everyone. I'm actually really happy that its been diagnosed. The doctor said my iron was so low that my body was functioning like it was in a really high altitude... meaning that I wasn't getting a whole lot of oxygen transferred throughout my body. As a result when I lay down I feel like I am suffocating. I actually almost had a panic attack one day because of it. I am also ridiculously tired. I know part of it was because of just I'm pregnant but I was ridiculous and sleeping like crazy. Ron didn't know what to do with himself when I would take my 4 hour naps. Anyways they have put me on a prescription Iron supplement that I have to take 2 times a day. I think I've started to actually notice a change. It makes me happy!

-I still love feeling him move around, although recently he's decided that my rib cage makes for great monkey bars to grab on to.

-I love thinking about different things about him. Like whose feet he'll have or what kind of temprament he'll have.

-My stomach has become a new spill zone... I swear I have a spill on it every day cause it catches everything

-My sister stephanie told me that I'm already waddling... I'm not sure I'm happy about that since I still have 2 months

-I love decorating his room and seeing his little clothes and diapers

-I can't wait to snuggle him and kiss him.

-One new thing that is sort of an annoyance is that my ankles and feet have started to swell. Its disgusting

-My sweet tooth has really picked up and thats bad cause the last trimester is when the most weight is gained or its the easiest

Ron and I have started our birthing class. I'm really enjoying it. Its being taught at our doctor's office by our actual doctor. Its really nice to actually talk to the person who will possibly deliver him. I say possibly cause there are 3 doctors at that office. Its been really informative for both Ron and I. Its nice for Ron because its coming from a father's perspective and he gets great advice. Its great for me cause he is my doctor so he knows what he is talking about. We also like it cause it was half the price the hospital classes are and they are actually donating the money. Its going great. We have 2 more classes to go.

Ron and I are currently working on the nursery. I have organized it and washed all his clothes. Now we are painting our crip and then the fun part begins!!! I get to actually decorate it. I'm excited for that. Its turning out really cute. I have been quite grateful for this move cause his room his very spacious and I love it!!! I'll post pictures soon
