29 Weeks and Counting

Wow! I still can't believe how quickly these past couple months have flown! Second trimester ended wonderfully and third trimester has started just as well. I feel great, have a lot of energy, and am loving life in general.

I have started going to the doctor twice a month instead of once a month. The appointments are really quick and painless - just a quick check of my weight, blood pressure, and a listen to the baby's heartbeat. The last part is definitely my favorite. :) He is very wiggly when they poke around trying to find him. He is starting to move around a lot! :) At my first appointment in March, I also found out a gained 8 pounds! After this big jump, my baby bump has turned into a belly for sure!

Steve and I also have our prepared childbirth class coming up next Saturday. I have really enjoyed reading up on different methods of unmedicated childbirth and have decided to go with the Bradley Method. It is focused on relaxation and deep breathing.

March and April are going to fly by! I have just started Spring Break and have my first shower today in Columbia. I am so excited to see my family! I am currently hanging out with mom, Jackie and Shannon. We had a girls night last night. :)

We are still thinking of names, so if you have any suggestions, feel free to throw them out there!

Love you all!! :)
