Still Can See My Feet at 29 Weeks ;-)

Take a look at the picture above... This is the general "positioning" of baby Bennett at this stage in the game. No WONDER those jabs and kicks are getting so much more intense... He doesn't have as much room to "roam around"!!

We had an appointment yesterday and everything is still great! I have gained 19 pounds :-), I'm measuring 29cm, my blood pressure is still 100/60, Bennett's heart rate was 140 and all the blood tests came back negative from the glucose screening. Yay! Also, I asked doc to check out the small red spots I have been noticing on my chest (just below my collar bone). He said I had spider angioma. Wikipedia says "Spider Angioma is a skin condition characterized by a central and elevated red dot, about the size of a pinhead, from which small blood vessels radiate (looking like a spider). They are often associated with high estrogen levels during pregnancy." AWESOME! Ahhh, the joys of pregnancy ;-)... The good news is that it goes away after pregnancy. Hey, if this is the worst of the pregnancy symptoms I will endure, I'll TAKE IT! :-)

Let me try to re-cap life :-). Bennett is a wonderful child. He is almost 20 months now! He is sensitive and sweet, and has a funny personality. He loves to run around with his arms behind him like he's an airplane and says several words and two-word phrases at this point: what's this, mama, dada, papa, grama, dog, horse, eyes, love you, please, thank you, sorry, bye-bye, hi, no, yes, etc. His receptive language seems superior: he understands so much! He LOVES animals; we recently started getting him the little animals from Tractor Supply. He now has North American, African and farm critt...
