Quick update....
Saw Dr. Mike today and everything looks great! I gained 2 pounds from last month and my belly is measuring at 30 centimeters. Right on target! Blood tests came back and I am anemic so will take additional iron supplement (Slow FE). This should help with the extreme tiredness I've felt the past few weeks. Heard the heartbeat and it's nice and healthy :) :)
Next appointment in 2 weeks Friday, 12/5 with Dr. Sarah.
That's all for now. Keep checking for updates and continue to write your comments. Brian and I love to read them all :P
PS - Baby furniture came in and being delivered on Saturday, 12/6. YEAH!!!

Week 29, Baby Classes & Baby Fox's Room
How your baby's growing (from BabyCenter.com):
Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His or her muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his or her head is growing bigger to make room for his or her developing brain. To meet his or her increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because his or her bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.
**********************************************
Baby classes two and three were fun! We learned a lot, some topics we went over were newborn at birth, breast feeding, selecting a pediatrician, bathing your newborn, first physical exam, signs and symptoms of labor, what to do when it's time to go to the hospital, what to expect in labor and delivery and pain management - including epidural. Our final class is this Thursday.

Both my gestational glucose test and thyroid test came back normal. My iron levels were a little low so I'm trying to eat more green veggies. Still feeling great! :)
See pictures below of my big belly and baby Fox's room!
Ok, here's a closer look by the window.
We are heading to Home Depot in search of a new closet system.
