29 Weeks and Named

We finally decided on a name for little boy blue. Blake Pearson should be joining us on or around November 16, 2007. We are very excited and get more and more anxious to meet him as the days pass. Blake is approx. 15 inches long and weighs around 2.5 pounds. My belly has finally out poked my bosoms and I am getting bigger everyday. My last doctors appointment went very well. Everything seems to be right on schedule and I have only gained 13 pounds so far! (I am fighting those last two pounds for my goals sake but know I will not be able to stay below 15....shucks) I am still working out when I feel like it although my energy level is dropping. I am not near as motivated as I was a couple of months ago. I have to take a nap nearly every afternoon just to be able to get up and get dinner ready so I can go to bed again. I am hoping I will get another big burst of energy before he arrives. My heartburn is back and blazing. I find it particularly hard to go to bed at night because sometimes the burn is so bad it will keep me from falling asleep. When I finally do drift off it doesn't matter how I lay my arms fall asleep and my left hip and knee ache very bad. It is annoying, but I know all the little things will pass in due time. Blake is very very active. He gets wiggly every time I eat and is officially kicking me, not just squirming around but sometimes I think he is trying to take out a rib.

On another note I am having a hard time with Hailey. She is so clingy and I am just hoping that it is a phase that too will soon pass. How did you deal with a new baby and a jealous older child?

Also, Teale and I were able to attend a couple of the Polishing The Pulpit ladies classes today. I am glad we went! The speakers were very encouraging and memorable. The cheesecake afterwards was also pretty memorable :)

I have chatted enough for now. Take Care all of my blog buddies!
