Pregnancy Update: 29 weeks

It’s about time for an update, don’t you think? I know I’ve been absent around the blog for the last two months, but I’m going to try to jump back in here. And what better way to get started than with an update about this wonderful pregnancy I’ve been experiencing?

:: Only 10 more weeks to go until we get to meet our daughter

:: I’m having another ultrasound in less than 2 weeks

:: And finally, I really want to enjoy these last few weeks of pregnancy, but this back pain is making it really hard to
