7 months

I am 29 weeks today, which is the second week of the 7th month. I think. This pregnancy seems to be going by so much faster than it did with Jacob. I can't believe it's almost over. I don't love being pregnant though so I can't say I'm going to miss it. I'd much rather have my sweet baby in my arms than waddling around feeling fat and miserable :P Speaking of miserable, I am still getting random waves of nausea, usually at night after I have gone to sleep. It wakes me up and then I lay there for awhile kind of afraid that if I get up, I'm going to puke but it's too uncomfortable not to get up. So I have this inner battle with myself and eventually I get up and drink some water and it goes away. At least I am not throwing up!

Jacob pats my belly and talks about his baby sister all the time. He has a couple of big brother books now that he likes to look at and he seems to understand more and more what is coming. Poor little guy probably doesn't have any idea what he is really in for but at least he seems to know that the baby is coming. I can't seem to convince him there is not a baby sister in his own belly though. He thinks we both have one!

Last week, I took the 1 hour glucose test but I haven't gotten my results back yet. That is the nastiest drink and it's nearly impossible to choke down. I have prepared myself for bad news since I have already gone through this once. If I failed the 1 hour test, I am just going to ask them to go ahead and treat me like I have gestational diabetes. I don't think I can stomach another one of those drinks. It's making my stomach turn just thinking about it!!

With Jacob, I took a belly picture every week. I think I was mostly just fascinated with my changing body. These days, I can hardly bring myself to get in any pictures, much less ones that showcase my "curves." I have only taken 1 belly picture (at about 26 weeks) so I'm going to make an effort to take more. I know I am getting bigger by the day so now is the time to get some good documentation.

And, finally, I *think* we have agreed upon a name. I'm going to give it a few more days and if we are still in agreement I will share it here!

Just 11 more weeks to go :D
