Pregnancy Deja Vu
Yep, Oliver has to copy his sister. Belly is measuring small (although it sure doesn't feel that way!) so they are sending me for another ultrasound to make sure he is growing okay. I'm glad I went through this with Emma so I am not the least bit worried. At least I will get to see him again and make sure he is still a "he". =) Too lazy to post pics from our last weeks of summer so hopefully I'll get around to that this weekend. We have been working diligently on the nursery and things are coming together. I went back to work today *sniff sniff* and I am exhausted so I will update more thoroughly soon!

Kiddie Love
Emma has had a fun summer getting a chance to play with her friends!
Swim date at Kayla's house. I LOVE this photo!
Chalk time with "Heya" (Mahalia) at Araiyah's birthday party
Stomping in the pool
Warming up in the sun
Jello time!
Music concert time with Dominic. The mommy's LOVED this performance! LOL
Piano duet
Incredibly adorable game of Candy Land before bed time. Dominic was so sweet and patient with her!
First day of swim class. If only she listened this intently to her mother!
Yesterday we drove up to Playa Vista to visit Dave, Hilary and Baby Mason. Emma was very in love with Mason and we got a lovely glimpse into her as a big sister! =)
Lui family of 4 preview!
Smothering Mason with kisses. I almost died of laughter when I saw the look on his face! =)
Snuggle time!
She was very eager to help feed him. He would not take his eyes off of her! The one bonus of me holding him this was was that Oliver finally decided to move for a bit. I don't think he liked his buddy sitting on him. =)
"Bleh, Emma! Get your big ol feet off of me!" I barely remember when her feet were as small as his!
Smothered this poor boy with kisses all day but it sure was sweet to see!

29 weeks...Adios Milkshakes =(
My pregnancy is becoming sort of like deja vu. I re-read my post from 29 weeks with Emma and I could have written the same exact post this time (minus the part about actually getting my leave of absence from work approved). Sugars high. Too rapid of a weight gain in recent weeks. Rho-gam shot. Instead of goodbye carbs, the doctor said no more sweets (especially my milkshake addiction). I felt like a girl going to rehab and needed one more fix. Since I had already decided in the waiting room that I was going to get a milkshake on my way home, I got my last one (and made it a freaking LARGE!) Take that!
I passed my 3 hour glucose test but apparently one of my levels was elevated. Two elevated levels and you get a gestational diabetes diagnosis. Apparently there is some other blood test that measures your blood sugars over a three month period (not sure how they do that!) but the doctor said my levels on that were actually very low so it is just time to watch my diet. Yeah yeah yeah. =/
I did ask the doc about when I should be concerned about the amount of movement (or lack of it.) I feel Oliver on a daily basis. He is actually very kind to be most active around 9:30 or 10 at night. It is just odd to me because he is soooooo much more mellow than crazy Emma was. Emma NEVER stopped moving and sometimes I need to prod him to get him going. She said it was probably how he is positioned and I shouldn't be concerned unless I didn't feel him at all for 24 hours. Speaking of positioning, she also said there isn't much I could do to get him to move higher up. The bladder/pelvic riding is a bit uncomfortable. I noticed myself waddling the other day. Waaaah. I'm not sure what position he currently is in, but he has been transverse for most of my pregnancy. The other night he must have been doing flips because my stomach was moving all over the place and the kicks were all over my belly. Then he went back to sleep, all snuggled up in his favorite spot below my belly button. I can't believe he will already be here in 11 weeks and no, I am NOT ready for him yet. Perhaps it is second child syndrome, but there is still a lot of preparation needed for his room. I at least got the infant car seat out, but besides that, we have some work to do. =) I will start posting photos of his nursery as we begin that project. Here are a few pics from last week, just over 28 weeks along.
