they always say that the second child gets sort of lost in the shuffle and doesn't get all of the attention the first child does. (i'm sure my brother would agree to this....story of his life). if my pregnant belly pictures are any indication of this, this little guy is in trouble. no worries though, we (greta included) will smother him with love and affection when he arrives. we have just been lazy....and besides, who wants to stand in a sports bra in the middle of winter to get their picture taken. anyway, here is my belly as of yesterday....week 30. lookin' good....lookin' real good.
as far as this pregnancy goes, i've been feeling great, just like i did the first time around. this little guy moves ALL THE TIME....i haven't discussed this with joe yet, but i think we should nickname this baby karate kid. it feels like he is practicing all of mr. miyagi's lessons (wax on, wax off, paint the fence, etc) at the same time. he especially likes to move around when greta sits on my lap for me to read books to her. i don't know if it's because he hears my voice, or because he's getting ready to bully his sister around already, but it's pretty neat. i haven't been allowed to exercise for a while due to having a partial placenta previa, but we'll find out in two weeks if that's remedied itself. and i failed my first glucose test, but i passed the 3 hour glucose challenge with flying colors. (no gestational diabetes). so all is good. we've got a double stroller (or two), we've got some work scheduled to start on greta's new bedroom this week or next, and we have a 4d ultrasound tomorrow where we'll get to see the little guy even more close up. stay tuned for more pictures....
