Gratuitous Stella videos

Oh, y'know you love 'em.  They're poorly edited, but I'm going for efficiency not beauty right now!

29 Weeks, and some photos of D-Lite

Here are some pictures so far of the little D-Lish:

28 weeks (yes, I'm in my jammies.)
Well, that's been the belly so far.  So you may have noticed that there are a lot of ultrasound pictures so far.  That's because of the little problem that Baby D-Lite is causing!  Baby D has a two vessel umbilical cord.  Normally, there are three vessels (one in, two out) in the cord, but with Baby D, only two formed (one in, one out).  My doctor wants to monitor the baby's growth, so this means more ultrasounds (I get one more this month) and then non-stress-tests weekly for the rest of the pregnancy.  Needless to say, my doctor and I are going to be best friends by March 25!  I love her, though - she has been so great.  She is the doctor who ended up delivering Stella, and I have been seeing her since.  It's like talking to my college friends when I go see her!

I have also developed a nasty little case of sciatica in my left hip area - sciatica is funny, it only hurts when I move a certain way, but it KILLS when it hurts!  It feels like I have to crack or pop my hip, but I can't. 

Gian is sick of the "what size is your baby" emails I get.  They are always comparing the baby to either some weird animal, or an odd food source!!  I think this week it was a roast beef.....

Only two and a half months left!

28 weeks and time is flying...

I've been accused of being a bad mommy.

Yes, I admit it.  I have definitely slacked off on photos of Baby D-Lish; AND photos of Baby D-Lite.  But being pregnant and raising a toddler is hard work, I tell you.  Plus, Baby D-Lite is not giving mommy such an easy time in the womb! (more on that later)

Not one to make resolutions, I am simply making a goal for 2011:  I will attempt to post on this blog once a week.  No more, no less.

Now, please excuse me while I go upload some backlogged photos and get organized for the next post!

(Um, does it count if I wrote this post last week, and I'm just posting it now?)
