Hello Friends & Family--

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!

Sorry I had to do it, I don't think I would be a true resident of Wisconsin if I didn't touch on the big win of my beloved Green Bay Packers! And yes, I was a fan prior to living here! We had an awesome time at the Kiss von Soly house and I'm sure that Chris is glad that he works for himself after all the festivities! What a proud day for the great state of Wisconsin! This is my victory pose after the game--notice the purple water bottle, that's what I had to drink all night!

We are now 1 week into the 3rd trimester and there is not much new to report really. My waddle has surely progressed even more though! And I can tell that he's getting a bit more cramped in there, as he's kicking me a lot more frequently. I'm waiting for the visible foot/hand/elbow to show through my stomach one of these days. Actually, I'm completely freaked out by the thought so we'll see how that experience goes.

Our class last week was cancelled because of the blizzard so we will have our first class on Wednesday. The first session requires pillows and a blanket/mat. I just hope I can get off of the floor! Or even better maybe this will be a lesson for Chris in pregnancy massages...hint, hint! I'm sure I'll have something good to post after the class! Oh and don't forget to keep those prayers coming for my Glucose Test tomorrow! I'll be there from around 8:00am till around 11:00/12:00ish. I'll be bringing a good book that's for sure!

Your Pregnancy: Week 29

Thanks to your ever-expanding uterus, it's time to welcome back the constant bathroom dashes. True! And try your best to forget about any emerging varicose veins -- they might be ugly, but they're harmless and should fade after delivery. None visible as of yet. 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!
Wahoo we've been upgraded! 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. Definitely can agree with that statement :)
