29 weeks

Today (8/10/09) I had another OB appointment. Everything looks good, my blood pressure was 110/70, baby's heart rate was 156 and I only gained 1 lb., which puts me up to 153. I'm still measuring pretty big at 32 centimeters. So they will do an ultrasound at my next appointment (in 3 weeks) to see how big this kid is getting and to make sure fluid levels are good and everything. She referred me to a cardiologist for my "dizzy spells" that last all day but I'm gonna wait and see if they happen again before I go.

I also apparently have a stress fracture or pulled ligament in my foot. Went to the treatment center after my appointment and got x-rayed and now am the proud owner of an awesome big shoe! My foot REALLY hurts, I can't believe how uncomfortable it is! The doctor said that the normal things that heal this quickly, I can't do (rest, stronger pain meds, and even crutches), so it'll probably take a little bit to get better.

It's weird, I looked at my little "ticker" on the side of the blog today and it says only "76 days to go"! That's just 2 1/2 months! Kinda makes me realize how quickly this little one could be here! Yikes!!!

Loren took another picture of my "belly" (she likes to do this and Kaylynn likes to get in the pictures)!! I guess it's a good way to keep track of the growing tummy from the view of a 4 year old! Here is the picture Loren took:
