Bump Update

I had my 29 week check-up yesterday. All is well. Baby's heart beat is good. My blood pressure is perfect. I gained 4 pounds in the last month (MUCH better than the 10 I gained the previous month!)... so my total weight gain is about 23 pounds.

The only 'bad news'... the doctor noticed I had swollen ankles! YIKES! I know it's common, but that's one of the things I was dreading! So I rushed home and put my feet up! They're back to normal today... whew!!

I also received my RHoGam shot... I'm RH negative, so this shot is a precaution just in case Thumper is RH positive. If he/she is, my body will produce antibodies against him/her... which could cause problems with this pregnancy, but more importantly would definitely cause problems for any future pregnancies. And we don't want that! The shot burns like HELL! But it's all worth it!

Some updated shots of the bump...

Here's my bosses granddaughter, Julie again... This time she's reading "Goodnight Moon" to my belly! It was at 8:30am this morning (hence the wet hair), but she insisted on reading this book. As a matter of fact, Nancy said that on the way to the station, Julie said "I want to read my book to Erin's baby." HOW ADORABLE!
