Week 29 (almost)

Well, tonight I finally did it...at 10:30pm, I asked John to go get me some donuts, because I really wanted them! I don't know about this craving stuff. I mean I COULD have done without them, but it's all part of the experience, right? Anyway, John made me write it down in the baby book, and after eating two donuts I must say I do feel satisfied!

According to the baby websites, our little girl should be about 14 or 15 inches long and weigh about 2.5 pounds. Honestly it's getting harder and harder to wait to see her...April 2nd still seems like a long way away, but I can feel her poking around all the time. I know she has to put on a lot of fat now, but it's still hard to wait. Mike and Susan brought us a white dresser to store her things in, and we rearranged the apartment a little bit in anticipation of having another person here. So far we don't have too much for her...a few clothing items, a couple of toys, and some books (that are really for me). I had been keeping all of it in a bag in the closet, but now I took it out and arranged it in the drawers, so it seems like she really has a place with us already. Now we just need her to fill it.

Some positive news: it seems I'm finally able to do some exercise just about every day. The yoga program really helps! I do it every other day, and then the other days I do something more aerobic. It's working out well. For a while there I wondered if I would actually start losing weight because I can't fit very much food in my belly anymore...but as long as I'm eating multiple donuts at 11pm, weight loss is probably unlikely!

Funny about the donuts! Were they chocolate, glazed, or plain?

I requested one Boston Creme and 1 glazed. Luckily, we live less than 2 minutes from a Tim Horton's.
