A Couple Pages

So Grown Up!!

Doesn't she look so big??? I think that my baby can officially be called a little girl. She was totally smiling and posing for the camera. She kept giving me these big grins and I loved to hear her say, "CHEESE!!"

SELLING??

Anyone up for buying a townhouse???? Yes, we are insane! Lets add a little more stress to this bedrest thing. We stuck the sign out in our yard the Saturday before I got put on bedrest. We talked about taking it down, but the market is so bad. We are afraid it will get worse, so we decided to see what would happen. We were only planning to stay here a year or two and move to our final home. Yes, I said final. I hope that this next home will be our last. That is the plan and it was never the plan with any of the other homes that we bought, so maybe we will stay put and stop moving, maybe. Well, we have had a few calls on it, nothing too exciting. I think we have it priced well. We will see what happens.

Isabelle's Funny Words

Isabelle has been talking so much more lately. Just wanted to post a few words that I love to hear Isabelle say.

Water - wa-wee

Thank You - tank tu

Excuse ME - me me

I'm so glad that she started saying water!! Before when she wanted water she would cry and wine until I figured out what she wanted. I felt so bad when I realied she was just thirsy.

She loves to say thank you, and says it all the time. What a polite girl.

Another thing I love to hear her say is yeah. She says it in this calm, serious way that is just adorable. Hard to describe in writing.

Doctor's Visit

I had my 28 week appointment today and everything checked out great!! I'll be 29 weeks on Saturday. (For those of you who don't speak pregnancy, 40 weeks is full-term. But 36 weeks is considered safe to have a baby, everything is developed, aka I can get off bedrest. I had both of my kids at 37 weeks, we'll see if we can last that long with this one.)

I don't know why I get so nervous before I go in for an appointment. I always fear she will send me to the hospital and I will be stuck there for a few weeks. For the most part, I'm not that worried about this pregnancy. Bedrest seems to be working and I have confidence that this baby will stay where he needs to til he is ready to come out. This being said, the night before and the morning of my doctor's visits I get so nervous and just imagine the worst. Well, no need to worry today. Everything went great and I really feel like I am on my way to being done with this bedrest thing. Only 7 1/2 weeks to go!! Sigh.....that still is a really long time!!

Here is what my little guy could look like at 29 weeks. Below I posted a little update on what a 29 week baby is up to.

Your baby is busy getting ready for the birthday! The baby is beginning to regulate his own temperature and the bone marrow is completely in charge of production of the red blood cells. The baby is even urinating about a half liter of urine into the amniotic fluid everyday!
The movements that you feel will probably begin to change at this point. Once your baby held wild gymnastic parties, now as the space becomes cramped you notice smaller movements, such as elbows and knees. Try monitoring the baby yourself, using fetal kick counts.
Your baby weighs in at about two pounds nine ounces (1.16 kilograms)!

(If he only weighs 2 pounds 9 ounces, where has all this other weight come from?? One of the many mysteries of pregnancy.)
