my lovely baby bump

here she is at 29 weeks!

29 weeks

Zoe & I had our 29 week check-up today.  All is smooth sailing with a normal gestational diabetes test and normal blood pressure.  Overall weight gain is right on track, although the milkshakes and fancy chocolates from Brugge, Belgium are probably contributing as well.  :)  Zoe's heartbeat was at a strong 150/160, and Ava was there to hear it too.. which was super sweet.  The OB said she is head down, and her size is right on track.  Now time to go get a flu shot!  It was a great appointment, and we will have our next one in 3 weeks.

In other news, I will be on the Arizona Midday News next Tuesday, September 20th for a prenatal yoga segment.  They will be featuring Desert Song Yoga & Massage, and long-time prenatal yoga instructor, Evon Hart.  It will be myself & another expecting mom to demo 5 different prenatal yoga poses during the segment.  I am excited to be a part of this since I also practiced prenatal yoga with Evon back when I was pregnant with Ava.  The segment will air on NBC Arizona Midday at 1pm.

Happy Labor Day weekend!

We are in the final 90 days until my due date, November 28, 2011!  

It is starting to look like fall in the stores, but no such luck with the weather.  We are just hoping temperatures drop below 110 for a little relief.  Today we finally got some overcast skies with a little sprinkle of rain which was refreshing in comparison. 

I went to an Ultrasound Institute to get some free shots of Baby Zoe completed by medical students.  It was so facsinating to see how she is laying, and what she was up to in there.  During the ultrasound, she had her head on my right side, right up against the placenta.  She was curled up in fetal position with her legs crossed.  She had her foot up by her mouth at one point, and her hand was up by her face.  Her lips where moving really fast breathing in and out fluid.  It was amazing to see her this far along, and her little antics were so sweet.  We got some new shots of her while I was there, and they even offered for me to come back in another couple of weeks to get some more!

 

In other news, daddy decided to take today off so he can have a 4-day weekend!  We spent the nice overcast morning at the zoo.  We saw lots of animals, and Ava went on her 1st camel ride with daddy!  We finished the day with 3 carousel rides in a row!  It was a nice family outing.
