29 weeks, almost

Seems like forever since my last blog. I have new pics to post, but have been busy with other stuff and then when i think to do it, i'm too tired to sit in front of my computer at night.

baby is growing..rapidly. over the past two weeks, i have begun to experience a decrease in the amount of oxygen i can consume while sitting down. She is very high so when i am sitting it is very uncomfortable. i have been hungrier and eating more. i am growing out of clothes that have fit me up until now, including some maternity stuff i had. i feel movement all the time now. it is more distinguished too. i wish i could tell which way she was in there, but after discussing it with the Dr., she was able to help me feel the head and sort out the direction in which she is "swimming" i feel most, if not all of her movements to the right of my belly button and below my right breast and then in the rectum...yes, she is kicking me there (odd feeling). my back is becoming stiffer and bending is challenging and often painful when her head is low. my energy is picking up, but can be short-lived.

this past weekend i washed all of the 0-3 mths clothes i have. i moved all the baby goodies that were taking up a huge chunk of the spare room to the new house. i cleaned the master bath at the house, cleaned windows in the bedrooms, cleaned the apartment, went to a Baby Expo with mom, which, it turned out, was pretty cool for coupons and free gifts. i am starting to freak out about things i should be doing to prepare for baby's arrival....decide on a daycare, find a pediatrician, get the nursery furniture picked up and put together, pack for the move, buy thank you cards for shower gifts, the list goes on....my head is full of things.

the house is getting closer and closer to being livable and i'm getting more and more anxious to move in. cabinets need ordering, counter tops need picking out, appliances need buying. feels like crunch time. luckily, ted's brother came this week to help out. there is so much to get done in a short period of time...

when i can, i will post new belly shots. i found a photographer who takes wonderful pregnancy shots but he is way expensive. maybe if we get some extra money from the shower, i can have some done. I was also thinking i could have Barb or Donna take some...they are artsy!

i cannot believe baby has two more months to grow. i'm going to be HUGE! i'm carrying all in the front and very high. this is just starting to get good. :-)
