Much needed update & a few belly pics!

Wow, it’s been a while!  I really need to get better at updating more frequently.  We have been really busy this past month but I think it will slow down a bit over the next few weeks.  This past weekend was my baby shower which was SUPER fun and I got a lot of great stuff for James!  I’m going to do a separate post on the shower so stay tuned…

The pregnancy is still going really well!  I’ve been so blessed by an easy pregnancy.  I am now 29 weeks…only 11 more to go!  I can’t believe how fast it’s all going.  Last Friday at my doctor’s appointment I took the glucose test (gestational diabetes test) and also had to get the RhoGam shot (since I have a negative blood type).  I was nervous about both but they ended up being no big deal at all.  I haven’t heard back from the doctor yet about my glucose test, but I figure no news is good news!

James is definitely growing.  I feel like I’m getting bigger by the day!  I am carrying him more out front so I feel like my stomach is sticking out more then normal, but I guess I’d rather be growing more out front instead of wide.  He is moving so much too.  I never realized how much they move.  It’s pretty neat feeling him so much but I have to say is sometimes gets annoying when I’m trying to go to sleep and it feels like he’s having a party in there!  It seems like when I lay down at night he goes crazy!  Even though it keeps me up at night sometimes, I wouldn’t trade the feeling for anything.  I just can’t wait to meet this little boy!  Below are some pictures of my growing belly…
