28 weeks and counting!

Yesterday was my 28 - week Dr. appointment. Here's the only stat I have:

I gained 2 pounds. That's good, right? Lol, gain 9 one month and only 2 the next. I mean, obviously I'm glad I did not gain 9 again this month, but it's so crazy how the body gains one month and the next not so much.

Doctor's appointments are still really boring and uneventful. I am looking forward to the birthing classes at the hospital. They start the day after my baby shower (Baby shower: 9/11, Birthing classes: 9/12). I'm also quite excited about the baby shower, and next week is my birthday! Lots of exciting things going on. Turning a quarter of a century this year :) So I will be 25 when this little one makes her appearance!

I think my body is finally kind of adjusted to having a baby in there, all the extra weight. I used to be in pain a lot and unable to figure out where to put my legs and how to sit and how to stand up, all of that, but I think I have trained my body now! (For now anyways!)

There is going to be a baby here in less than three months!!!

26 Weeks!

So...my tracker on TheBump.com says that there are 98 days until Baby's due date! Whoa! 98 days!? 182 have already gone by!? Crazy!! That means next Friday is the third trimester (If you divide 40 weeks by 3, each 13.33333 weeks is a new trimester.) Wow!

So I went to Kingdom Bound this week. Jamie and I watched Baby moving every night-Baby was our entertainment! She had me giggling and giggling. Then one day (Wednesday) I slipped on the steps and landed on my butt. Ouch. But thankfully, one of the other women who was with us at KB used to be a Labor & Delivery nurse, so she calmed my fears. But then then, I think Baby has turned around because her kicks haven't been as strong as they were last week. I called the doctor today, and they reassured me too.

Yesterday Rick & I went grocery shopping, and I placed an eggplant in Rick's hand. That is the approximate size of our Baby right now. :) Here is what I've read about Week 26---


*She is between 13.6 to 14.8 inches long, and weighs between 1.5- and 2.5 pounds. I want to go pick up an eggplant again :)

" * Her eyes are forming, and his eyes will soon start to open.
* And her eyelashes are now grown, too.
* She's getting her immune system ready for life on the outside by soaking up your antibodies.
* She's taking breaths, too. They're of amniotic fluid, not air, but it's still good practice."

I'm going to do my registry today, and soon Baby Shower invitations will be sent out. I can't believe it-- only 3 months and a week until Baby is due! 98 days!

Thank you for your prayers :)
