It is hard to believe but I am already 29 weeks! I think most people want time to fly while they are pregnant, but I feel like time is going by way too fast! I wonder how in the world we are going to get everything done in time especially with the holidays coming up (even though when I think rationally I know it will all be ok).
I went to the doctor this week and everything is still going good. I had blood work done earlier this week and the doctor said that I am pretty anemic. So now I have added an iron pill to my daily prenatal vitamin. I also got answers to some of the weird things I have been experiencing. I guess the reason that I feel like I can't breathe a lot of times and that it feels like there is a ton of bricks on my chest is because of the anemia. Something to do with the blood flow and oxygen. Hopefully the iron pills will help. I also found out that Meg is transverse, which means she is laying sideways. Her butt is on my right side and her head is on the left side. This isn't a big deal since I am having a C-Section, but it certainly explains while I feel some unusual things in unusual places and why I am more uncomfortable than I was with Brody! The doctor is also predicting that Meg is going to be big. This wouldn't completely surprise me because big babies run in both of our families, but since Brody was average I just assumed Meg would be too. I guess we will see!
I have an ultrasound right before Christmas. We will see what the status of the placenta previa is and also see how big she is. Then the doctor will decide when to do the C-Section. My only worry is that if she thinks she is big she will schedule it early....hopefully not!

According to my doctor Owen was going to be HUGE...and then he wasn't even 8lbs. Seriously, they're just guessing!
: )
I'm glad you and Meg are well. I wanted my pregnancy to last and last. Not that I didn't want Owen to get here, but I so enjoyed being pregnant with him!
