7 Months!

Coming up on 29 weeks (7 months, 1 week) so I'm getting closer!  The belly has really popped in the last few weeks, which makes sense since baby has doubled in size in that time.  She should be around 2.5-3lbs by this point.  Which is NUTS considering how hard she kicks me sometimes.  At the prenatal appointment this morning we hear a VERY strong heartbeat.  It was sitting at 136bpm and was a distinct thudding noise and not just the "wubwubwubwub" previously.  It was super cool.

I also passed my gestational diabetes test (meaning I don't have it, yay!) so that's a great thing too.  One less thing to worry about.  Also, I've still only gained 12lbs.  Woohoo!  2 more months to gain up to 7lbs...which I most likely will do.  Since baby needs to gain 3-5 more lbs herself before delivery day.  Anyhoo, I'm happy, baby's healthy, I'm battling another cold, but as soon as I'm better I'm getting a flu shot, so hopefully that will help.  On the plus side, the more times I get sick during pregnancy, the more anti-bodies baby will have.  Go immune system!

Things are going well.  I have 6 more weeks of work and then it's last minute planning stuff before baby comes.  Hoping she doesn't turn up early!
