29 Weeks (February 9th – 15th)

I’m 15.5 inches and weigh nearly 3 whole pounds. I can now open and close my eyes!

We had a doctor’s appointment this week. They checked my weight and blood pressure (everything is good). They also checked Lydia's heart rate with the doppler and I swear she must hate that thing because every appointment that they try to use it, she kicks at it and moves all around. Once they finally got her to hold still, her heart rate was in the 140s-150s. I asked the doctor about the hot flashes and flushed cheeks that I have been getting and he said they were a normal symptom of pregnancy and not to worry. We have another routine appointment in two weeks.

We got pre-registered at the hospital this week and are all good to go when the big day arrives!

It had been a couple of weeks since our last trip to Toys ‘R’ Us so we decided to go do some browsing one night after work. We are planning a trip to Destin, FL when Lydia is about 3 months old, so we were looking at little swimsuits. We both fell in love with this lady bug swimsuit and ended up buying it for her, along with a matching sun hat. I can’t wait to see her in it! We also picked up an iPod docking station so we can put her baby music on our iPod Nano and play it in her room.

Baby's first snow! It actually snowed here in Alabama this weekend about 3 inches. Of course, everything was closed (we even had a snow day at work on Friday). It is fun to have it once in a while, but it can go away anytime now...it's ruining our Daffodils and Irises coming up in the front yard!
