29 weeks today- 7 months total!!

Here we are- in our 7th month! We have 11 weeks or less left until she is here and we can't wait!!
Not much has gone on in the past week or so, I have been laying low because of my pelvis/hips & because of the difficulty I have just walking now. We had a great appointment on Thursday. First of all, Dakota is growing perfectly and right on schedule! Her heart beat was at 152 and her movements have been normal, as always! I was tested for Gestational Diabetes (glucose tolerance test) and they told me not to worry if I don't get a call on Monday so YAY- no diabetes to worry about! ( only worried because my side of the family has a history of it)

I also received a referral from my OB for a physical therapist, which I had an appointment for today. The physical therapist told me that there is no actual "separation" of my Symphysis, however it is inflamed and irritated. He said he couldn't do much, however he told me to ice my hips/groin 4 times daily and gave a stretch to do 2x per day. He said without an x-ray or MRI he really couldn't tell me much. So I am looking into an acupuncturist and/or chiropractor (but they aren't covered under our insurance) so I will have to tough it out and pay out of pocket.... Keep your fingers crossed for me so I can get some pain relief! Now enough about that!
Time for the big 3D ultrasound pics!! She was too funny and both Lucas and I laughed so much and were so amazed by her! She was punching me and kicking me the whole time, and she was in the most uncomfortable position ever! She had her legs crossed and up near her face and her arms were holding her legs! At one point I thought she was sucking her thumb and Lucas had to point out, "No, thats still her knee babe- shes got her knee in her mouth!!" Lol So I will be sharing a few of our favorite pics from that and also some bonus pics beside belly  pics :)
So Happy Thanksgiving everyone, enjoy the food (I know I will!)& family. Enjoy and i'll see you all next week!!

So peaceful in there!
I love this shot, it is just a perfect blend between Lucas and I <3
Smiling for the camera :)
What a little angel!
See! Shes Crazy!!




She was kicking or punching (can't tell which) when I was taking this picture, 
thats why my hand was so low :)
Front view, had to get in the mirror so I'm on my tippy toes- ouch!

Aww! Too cute!




Your Pregnancy: Week 29

Thanks to your ever-expanding uterus, it's time to welcome back the constant bathroom dashes. And try your best to forget about any emerging varicose veins -- they might be ugly, but they're harmless and should fade after delivery. Until then, avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time and make sure to get some exercise (it'll boost your circulation).














Baby's now the size of a squash!
Baby's energy is surging, thanks to white fat depositing beneath his skin. And since he's growing so fast (weight will triple by birth), things are getting kind of cramped in the womb. What all this means for you: Get ready for some more kicks and jabs to the ribs.
