28 WEEKS

So, since I last posted I have starting wearing a glorious creation called a support belt. It is glorious in all forms, in that, not only does it help ease my pain, but it is sexy my friends [please pick up that sarcasm]. David calls it my Home Depot belt. He sure knows how to make a woman feel attractive. I have a love/hate relationship with it. Fortunately, my loving husband took me to buy a new one that just wraps around my belly instead of all over. I am forever grateful for the "all over" one though. It made it so that I could walk again.

I had my glucose test on Friday, and we had another ultrasound! We loved getting to see our little one again. Good news all around! The cysts in Baby's brain are completely gone [you probably didn't even know they existed, but that's okay, you don't get to know everything]- yippee! Baby is head down and ready for birth, and in the 54th percentile, however his or her head is in the 97th percentile. Yes, you read that right. Our child probably currently resembles a bobble head. The ultrasound tech said that with baby being head down and having such a large noggin, that is probably where my pain is coming from. [Child, I love you dearly, but I would not complain if you wanted to shift around a little for the next couple of weeks.] Our baby is also measuring a week sooner [so 29 weeks! Eek!]

The glucose test really was not that bad. At all. It's just a way too sugary drink. I just got a headache in the last 10 minutes. As soon as they drew my blood you better believe I started drinking lots of water. On the bright side- I was a champ! I didn't cry when I got my blood drawn or my TDAP shot. YAY! I'm finally growing up!

We also caved and bought our first baby item. Isn't it adorable!?

How far along?  28 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss?  17 lbs
Maternity clothes?  You know it. David let me buy a pretty top last Sunday for our maternity pics. I haven't gotten to buy a lot of maternity clothes, so this was kind of fun for me.
Stretch marks?  Nope. I would like to thank my sweet sister-in-law for supplying me with belly butter.
Sleep?  Getting rougher. I still wake up between 2am and 4am, and typically stay awake for that time span... ugh
Best moment this week?  Ultrasound #2! Love seeing that sweet babe.
Miss anything?  I find that bending down, or trying to get up are not in my giftings right now. I was holding twins in the toddler room at church last Sunday, and it took me a good 4 attempts to stand up. I almost fell over on all attempts, and was definitely sore the next day haha.
Movement?  Oh yes! This little one is not comfortable in there, nor does he or she like my support belt. Must be like his or her momma- doesn't like to be confined. We can see movement all the time! One night David said, "Wow! The baby is really beating you up!". Welcome to my life babe.
Food Cravings?  I still really want junk food. Like french fries....mmmmmm.... Fighting the urge daily.
Anything making you queasy or sick?  Nope.
Have you started to show yet?  Yes. People are finally starting to point out that I'm pregnant to me- like I didn't know.
Gender? Boy or Girl. It's 50/50.
Labor signs? Negative
Belly Button in or out?  It has emerged. You can see a little poke where it is. I think it still has more to come out though...
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy!
Looking forward to?  Walking without pain, and my mom and David's mom are coming in town this weekend for my baby shower!

David and I also celebrated our 3 year anniversary this past weekend. We had so much fun and I felt so spoiled. David took me to Flemmings- a super nice steak house out here. They spoiled us rotten! It was so delicious and we had a blast reminiscing about the past 3 years. Gosh I love my husband.
