Bob, 29 Weeks, Ain't that a Kick in the Head?

29 Weeks, whew!

I’m 29 weeks, a good week into the 3^rd trimester & beginning to feel it. Definitely getting a bit run down by the late afternoons (especially if I’ve “pushed it” during the day), finding it difficult to sit comfortably while driving too far or through a movie at the theater, hard to be on my feet for too long and I actually haven’t slept through the night in weeks (and even then, it was at best every other night.) However, other than fatigue and sleep, I still feel really great & am enjoying my ever growing Bob!

We had our 3^rd trimester ultrasound yesterday & all things look perfectly & are right on schedule. My weight gain is on target (I’m up 20 lbs from my pre-preggo weight), blood pressure good & all looks good with the baby – blood flow, brain, heart, kidneys, etc. Bob is estimated to weigh 3 lbs 2 oz & will likely more than double that by birth. It’s a good thing babies are oh-so-bendy because Bob’s feet were curled all the way up to her/his head! In the 3D pic, that’s a FOOT by Bob’s face. Now THAT’S a curled up baby. In the top left corner of the 3D pic, you can see an outline of a baby - that's the position Bob was in during the ultrasound, upside-down sideways baby. 3D pics are great b/c of the clarity, but they’re a bit jarring b/c they turn out so “lumpy” looking. See for yourself.   

Bob's profile, 29 weeks

3D Bob, Mama's nose & Daddy's mouth? Whose lumps are those?

Here is a short snippet of the ultrasound dvd. As it begins, you can see Bob's curled up leg & foot. Most of it is of Bob's face though as the doctor was obtaining the 3D pic for us.
