29 week update!

Well I am officially in my 29th week! I have gained about 15 lbs so far, right on track and still feeling good!

I have been walking 1-3 miles per day for the past couple of weeks, yes I know I am kind of obsessed, but it's so awesome b/c walking feels so good both physically and emotionally. It really helps with the stress and I just love having a chance to get outside in the fresh air and move everyday. I also see lots of pretty nature and animals which is great.

Last week I noticed I didn't have my usual energy supply and turns out I have anemia. It's not a super big deal and the doc recommended extra iron supplements. It's understandable since blood volume almost doubles during pregnancy and can easily become diluted, plus the fact that I eat almost zero red meat. So, at Marcelo's urging I did buy some organic grass fed beef yesterday, which I am not super comfortable about due to my ethical beliefs, but I will see how it goes incorporating a small amount of red meat. I am also hoping the supplements and other iron rich foods do the trick.

So that feels good to be addressing that concern. Everything else is looking great! Now Levi is so big that he doesn't fit into one ultrasound picture anymore :-) It was really cool to see him moving around again via ultrasound. Wow!

Can't believe I still have 8-10 more weeks to go! My calendar is filling up with appointments/classes as I now have to start seeing my doc every 2 weeks and then it goes down to every week during the last month. I was reflecting again on how lucky we are to have such great medical care and low co-payments. That truly is a gift in itself :-)

Well I've gotta run off to work. xoxo have a great week!
