Week 29

I am feeling great and can't believe that I am already in week 29 of my pregnancy.
Yesterday I went to Denali OBGYN and completed my gestational diabetes test. I chose the orange syrupy liquid over the lemon lime (not sure I made the right choice or in this case if there is a 'right choice'). Then I had five minutes to chug the mixture, an hour long wait in the doctor's office ( I caught up on my US Weekly reading), and finally a quick blood test to finish up.

This week baby is hard at work gaining more weight (now about 2 & 1/2 pounds and the same weight as a butternut squash), maturing muscles, and developing strong bone structures. Good thing mama loves calcium rich foods like yogurt, cheese, and milk - YUM!!!

According to the above diagram, no wonder I can't breath when I sit down - baby's bottom (especially those little kickers) are giving my ribs a work out!
