Pregnancy Update

I know that some of you have requested a pregnancy update, so here it is!!! I'm 29 weeks along today, and I feel like things have started to get better. Instead of dropping weight like crazy, I'm finally starting to put a little on. I think I'm only down about 33 lbs now, and that's coming back up from 38 lbs lost. The barf count is slowing down too (which I'm thrilled about!!). I've thrown up a total of 105 times now, and hoping that I'm completely done. But, everytime I say that I end up throwing up the next day :( I've been having some problems with my kidney on the right side. I've been having a lot of cramping, and the doctors finally found out the I've got a bunch of fluid building up around my right kidney. It's been causing me a lot of pain, but I have some pain meds to deal with it and it seems to be getting better. Other than that its just been the usual aches and pains that come with pregnancy - achy back, crampy legs, being tired all of the time, etc. Our little baby is moving a ton though!!! She's so cute. However, I think she is finding her way to my ribs - she's kicked them a few times and it's hurt a lot, but I'm more worried about when she starts using my ribs as a foot rest!

Here's a picture of me today - 29 weeks along.


And here is Kirk at 29 weeks. No explanation needed. Sympathy accepted. Oh how I love him!!!

Those pics of Kirk are funny! I should have taken a few of my husband. You look great. All that yuckiness you are feeling will go away the moment you see your baby girl in your arms. Then you will be in a sleepless daze for a few months....but at least you won't be throwing up.
