Sorry it's been a while!

Sorry it's been a while... September 08, 2009


Yeah, I know...it's been a while. Sorry. I just haven't felt like updating this thing--not because I'm feeling bad but mainly because I've been lazy. I guess that's okay when you're pregnant, right?



Well, for the last few weeks Baby Jones has been growing like crazy. He's made me gain 8 pounds in just 2 1/2 weeks. What the heck? The doctor says, "Well, we'd like for you to stay at 1 lb per week from here on out". Great. Considering that I've already gained two pounds this week, I'm in for a "yelling-at" tomorrow at my appointment. Oh well. My doula says I look great and so does my yoga instructor. I'll just listen to them from now on!



Aside from the uncomfortable feeling of having an enormous bowling ball on my abdomen, I feel pretty good. I'm totally puffy in my hands (can't wear my wedding rings anymore) and my feet (nothing but flip-flops for these puppies) but so far, no "cankles"! Let's hope for that to continue...



I'm still exercising regularly and practicing prenatal yoga, so hopefully all of that will help bring on labor naturally and make it go smoothly.



Continue to pray for a continued healthy pregnancy and normal delivery! I'd also like it if you prayed for my childbirth to be painless--that's a reasonable request, heh?
