2.5 months is all thats left??

my little baby ticker says 75 days. unbelieveable. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by.

I am 29 weeks right now and feeling pretty good. I measured 1 week ahead at my 28 week appointment but wasn't really suprised, my belly has just really grown so much in the last month, I can feeeel it stretchin ( i think its a little bit of a horrible feeling). The heartbeat was good and I have gained about ehh 7-8 lbs depending on the day and what clothes I am wearing. Baby is SOOO strong and we love being able to feel her little feet, elbows etc whatever they may be from the outside. Its pretty cool.

Still no name. We are going to wait til she's born to name her. We have a confidential list of names we sort of like- so no real point in asking. You'll just have to wait and see!

I passed my glucose test last week however I found out I was anemic, so now I am on an iron supplement 2x a day plus my prenatal. This is a challenge for me, let me tell you why. I happen to eat more dairy than probably any other person I know. There is always some dairy aspect to anything I eat from a go-gurt to a bowl of cereal to a sandwich that has cheese on it. Why is this a problem you ask- the calcium in dairy basically nullifies the iron in the supplement so you really can't take them together. So I am having to change my whole eating schedule to include some non-dairy periods and boy is it a challenge. that is my gripe for now.

The thing they call pregnancy brain?
I haven't really experienced any forgetfullness etc... until this morning. I sat down to eat my bowl of pathetic milk-less oatmeal, I drank my glass of OJ ( vit c increases absorption) then I popped my iron pill. At this moment my brain started questioning. Didn't I already take the iron before I started the oatmeal... I distinctly remember holding the bottle before but maybe I just read it? but what if I didn't and I'm going to get sick and die or mutate baby girl meng. Oh man better call pharmacist. Pharmacist says call poison control... grrreat. "Hi poison control I am an absent minded pregnant lady who may have just O'd on Iron pills.... is this a serious problem for me and fetus?" Luckily the poison woman said not to worry and that I should be ok, just to drink a glass of milk. So luckily I have not killed myself nor my offspring. I still have 11 weeks to go so hopefully I can keep myself from winning a darwin award in the next two months.

Sorry no pictures- my small camera the battery has just stopped taking charge so casio needs to replace it and the big camera - the cord to connect it to the computer is missing ( I am reallllly not happy about it). So I will post a pic from my phone someday or something.
