29-30 Weeks

Week 29 started out a bit rough for me - when we returned from Minnesota, I wasn't feeling well so I went to the doctor and found out I had a stomach virus.  When you're pregnant, they can't prescribe you much so you basically have to just tough it out - for 4 full days, yuck!

When I felt better, Keith and I washed and put together baby Connor's bedding that we received at the baby shower in Minnesota.  We also painted and hung his name above the crib - a project I figured would take 20 minutes that actually took 3 hours!  Here is what we have so far... it makes us more and more excited with each preparation we do!

As for Connor's progress, he is doing great!  I feel him kick/move/dance/punch all day everyday, it's such a crazy feeling!  According to my 'What to Expect When You're Expecting" app, he should be roughly the size of a butternut squash, 17 inches in length, and just over 3 pounds.  I will know exactly how he's growing at my appointment next week but so far he has followed the app almost exactly with size and weight.  I will start having doctor appointments every 2 weeks then every week leading up to the delivery.  Pretty soon, Keith and I will attend birthing classes and tour Northside Hospital (which, as crazy as it seems, was where my older brother Chad was born when my parents lived in Atlanta in 1985)!

As for next week, we are excited to have some visitors to Atlanta - my mom, Keith's aunt Beth, and cousin Amie for a fun-filled weekend, including a Baby Shower hosted by Mrs. Johnston and Mrs. Rodenroth!
