29 weeks

I am 29 weeks today and here is a picture of me.  My belly has definitely been growing and changing.  At my 28 week checkup my doctor told me that she was still laying horizontally in my stomach, but he said she would be moving head down pretty soon.  I am almost positive that she did just that the other day.  I had 10 very painful and uncomfortable minutes and then my belly was just shaped a little differently. At my last visit I had gained 26 pounds so far and my doctor told me that he thought I would probably gain at least 10 or 12 more pounds by the end.  I was hoping to not gain quite so much, but oh well.  I am exercising and eating pretty well so I figure I need the weight.  Unfortunately I am growing out of most of my maternity clothes because my belly sticks out so far.  You can't tell in the picture, but my belly was totally hanging out the bottom of my shirt (classy, I know :)  )  Overall I am doing great and am hoping the next couple months go by fast.  In other news we changed our little girl's name.  I won't bore anyone with the details, but I had some worries about Alice.  One day a different name just popped into my head and we both liked it.  I am 100% wanting it and Dustin is close. He just wants to stay open to new ideas just in case.  Anyway, the name we picked is...Grace.  I think that is all the pregnancy details anyone could care about, so here is my picture.
