Baby Update

I realized I haven't really been talking about the pregnancy that much lately, and I suppose it's because there is just so much else going on. Now that the school year is in full-swing, and Jay is working 12 hour shifts, I don't spend nearly as much time on the computer. I guess that's a good thing, though. I was starting to get a wee bit of an addiction.

So, I am 29 weeks along and feel about 50. The older I get, the more energy pregnancy zaps out of me. I am healthy and all is well with the baby, I'm just even more tired than usual and have all sorts of fun aches and pains. I don't think I'm going to be able to walk the girls to school much longer, which really stinks. I always feel kind of silly driving to school since we live so close. You know me, I try to keep my carbon footprint low. ;) But, I don't really have much choice, so Al Gore will just have to get off my back.

Here I am, at 29 weeks, looking slightly frumpy:

And despite the fact that approximately 50 people told me how huge I am at church last Sunday, the doctor says I am measuring "right on target." So take that, people!!!

(I sound kind of bitter, don't I? Sorry. Blame the hormones.)

As far as cravings go, I'm craving anything icy. I'm going through Otter Pops like mad, and I'm eating the ice out of my water. (Very strange for me considering I usually like room temperature water.) I wonder if there's any old wives tales that can decipher this particular craving for me?

On the subject of baby names, we've taken a backward step. We had a boy name and a girl name all picked out, but as the Big Day approaches, we are starting to reconsider. Jay doesn't know why I insist on researching baby names so early in the pregnancy, because I always end up second guessing myself near the end. But hey, if I didn't start early, I'm pretty sure the baby wouldn't have a name until he/she was 3 months old! Hmmm... maybe a new poll is in order. I will put one together soon.
