PG Update 3/30/09

Hi there,

So here we are in my 29th week of pregnancy, which is also the 1st week of my 8th month of pregnancy!!

By the way, do you all know that there are actually 10 months of pregnancy? Well I find it totally confusing, but according to my family Doctor, my Mid-Wife and my 3 PG books it is true! So don't be thrown off by me being in my 8th month already, my due date is still mid-June!

At my last Mid-wife appointment (3/18) she told me my baby boy is a big baby. I was like, "You're kidding right?" and she said, "No, but that is a good thing, you want a big, healthy baby."....and all I was thinking, yes absolutely want healthy....but big - didn't really want that, ah!!!! We'll see what happens come June, I guess. Please do keep praying for a healthy baby and safe delivery!

Here is the photo for this month. My baby boy bump is definitely popping out now. (I realize this is a bad hair day-so please just view the bump, I am way too tired to care about my hair anymore.)

To those of you who complained that I wasn't showing enough yet, hopefully you are happy now. I noticed people at work who I don't directly work with and didn't know I am PG started to notice the week of March 16, so the bump is showing. Ta-dah!!!

We started the "Count Test" thing last week. According to my books every baby should have 10 movements in 2 hours or less. Well I will have you know that our precious Baby Boy Banks usually has 10 movements in less than 4 minutes! The longest so far has been 10 movements in 20 minutes! He's a crazy busy baby boy....super active!!!! I can't imagine how active he will be once he has actually joined us in the outside world. I think we'll be working hard to keep up with him.

Andrew, Emily and I can barely wait to meet him! In fact Emily was reading "nephew" cards to me at Hallmark last week and when she finished each card she'd say, "Oh!". Isn't that so cute!?!? We are all SO excited!!!!

Thanks for checking in! Bye!

P.S. Andrew, Emily and my friends Heather & Erin have all mentioned that I am showing some signs of "Pregnancy Insanity" so if something I blog doesn't make sense, just let me know. (And I thought I was doing so good. I guess it gets us all.) Tee-hee!
