Happy and Healthy, What more could you ask for?

I am currently 29 weeks along in my pregnancy, and yes, the baby and I are both very healthy and very happy.  Sorry if you think I update a lot about the baby, but it is very exciting for me, and I've waited so long for this.  I am still getting used to the fact that it is actually happening.

I got to see her today, and the doctor said that everything is going as it should.  She is now 3 lbs, moving around a lot (yay!), great heartbeat, head pointed down (hooray for non-breech baby!  Although, that could change still), and just perfect!  Just like last time, though, we couldn't get a good picture of her face.  Her hand is always in the way!  And with her head so far down, it's hard to find her face anyway.

So, remember how I had my glucose test last time?  Well, the doctor said I passed.  Yay!  At the end of my appointment, he said to just keep doing what I'm doing since the baby and I are both healthy.  Well, I don't know what I'm doing exactly, but I'll take those orders.  Ha ha!  Really, though, I feel like I do nothing most of the time.  I'll have spurts of energy, but then need lots of rest shortly after.  I guess a sudden gain of 20 lbs can do that to you.

Remember how I told you that the baby can be a punk sometimes?  Well, she's behaving much better now.  Lance has finally been able to feel her move!  She's getting so big that she can't mask her movement any longer.  It's funny, because when I'm sitting or lying down, relaxing, my tummy will jump.  I love it!  It doesn't hurt right now, except for when she's under my rib.  It sort of tickles.  It's an interesting feeling that is fun to experience.

Well, that's the update for now.  Wish Lance and me luck that we'll be able to get in a bunch of date nights before our newest family member makes her debut out in the open.  We won't get many after she's born, that's for sure.
