First I'm excited to report that Xander is doing SO much better!!  He's still taking meds everyday, but only once! He doesn't swell as often as he used to, and his spots are getting few and far between.These are his legs last week: March 9th  (4 weeks after it all started)[Image]These are his legs tonight: March 17 (5 weeks later)[Image]I was starting a bath for him tonight and took one look at his legs and they just look so AMAZING!! There is only 3-4 new tiny spots and the rest of his legs have faded ones.It makes me so happy and relieved that he's doing this well.  When it all started, it was such a frustration that there wasn't anything I could really do to make it go away. But we've just taken it day by day and look at where we are now :)
Mara decided that she wanted to have her hair like Giselle's (from Enchanted). Meaning: she wanted flowers in her hair.  So she ran to the bathroom and picked out some flowers and bows so I could put them in her hair.  She was so happy to be like Giselle :)[Image][Image]

I feel so, I don't know what the word is, that I have neglected to get belly pictures during this pregnancy.  I was so good when I was pregnant with Mara (since I didn't do it at all with Xander's pregnancy) at having my picture taken on the days of my doctor appts so I could see how big I got, but I just keep forgetting to do it this time around.  So here we are, at 29 weeks, and this is only my 2nd pic I've had taken.  Granted, I look HUGE, but I don't feel huge, at least not yet.  I know I'll be getting alot bigger in the next few months as we near the end.  [Image]I'm only just starting to really feel the aches and pains with pregnancy.  She is starting to really have awake times and sleeping times, which, for the most part, I hope change once she's born. But I do love being pregnant. It's just so amazing that ones body can change around to accomodate another little life.  I love being able to get to know my baby by the movements that she makes.  So far, she really likes to have her feet in my right rib and has just recently started having hiccupps. Also, she thinks that it's 'play time' when I'm ready to go to sleep and is always fighting with the matteress when I'm lying on my side.But I'm so excited to have another child in our family. It's been so long so it seems like everything is all brand new. I just hope I haven't forgotten how to take care of a newborn :)
