28 Weeks, 7 Months, or 3rd Trimester!

28 Weeks!

I can't believe I am in my 3rd Trimester already! Little baby moves around sooo much...actually anytime that I sit down she is awake and moving around instantly. It's safe to say that we are not on the same schedule. I am still doing Yoga and my Bradley exercises every day:) I also read that the baby is about 14.8 inches long which is totally unbelievable!

Only 12 more weeks to go!

Baby, I would really appreciate it if you quit kicking me in the bladder every 30-40 minutes. - thank you

I am definitely feeling pregnant this week! I went to bed at 6:30pm one night, took 4 baths this week instead of showers and will let my phone ring instead of getting up to answer it. The good thing is that I can feel the baby moving more and more! Danny feel her moving too:)

Tonight the baby shower meeting committee is going to do a little party planning. Me, Mom, Carmen, Trina, Jamie, Lisa and Teddi....wow this is going to be the best baby shower with all of these great party planners! I can't wait:)

I had my glucose test this morning and hopefully the results come back okay. It wasn't as bad as they say it tastes. It was some Lemon-Lime Flavor but I think it tasted like a sugar orange drink. We saw Dr. Lee today instead of Dr. Allen and really liked her.

Only 14 more weeks to go...wow! Danny's grandma Sharon, Danny and me have been working on some nursery projects. We have the rocker and birdcage to paint, bassinet sheets and skirt, bird mobile, crib bumper and skirt and pads for the rocking chair to make. It seems like a lot but is moving pretty fast. I did get the bassinet mattress made and some of the birdies so far. Pics to come....

25 Weeks

She is the size of an eggplant! whoa.

Little baby weighs 1.5 lbs and is about 13 1/2 inches long! I keep looking at how big my belly is so far and just knowing that I have 15 more weeks of growing to do, in the Summer, is kind of scary... I did see my belly move once this week...it was kind of cool but now I want more....and I want Danny to feel her move already too! He isn't that patient about it but she must not like him yet. Soon enough:)

When the guys were sleeping in in St. Louis I decided to go to a Zumba class at the gym down the street and I don't think anyone could tell that I am 6 months pregnant because of what I was wearing so it was kind of like I had this secret. But then some overly friendly lady that had never been to a Zumba class was asking be about it and somehow we got to I am 6 months pregnant...her response..."OMG, I would be in bed!" Now granted, she wasn't the most fit person but who just lays in bed? I know that exercising wasn't as "popular" 20 years ago but I really don't know how I would feel physically if I wasn't working out. Even if I miss 1-2 days I feel like crap! My stomach is contracting after about 30 minutes of doing cardio but from what I have read and what my doctor said this is totally normal. A little uncomfortable but normal so I just walk it off for a little bit.

Danny had another interview this week and we can't wait to hear back from both companies! It's secretly driving me crazy but I am trying to stay calm about everything....pregnancy has annoying hormones that make you worry about the stupidest stuff! Although, having a baby, moving, and getting a new job aren't stupid, I am usually not the worrying type. Stupid hormones!

P.S. We are still researching some potential Girl names....
