Week 28

Baby is chunking up! So cute! Took the Glucose test today will find out on Monday or Tuesday how I did. Thinking it will be fine. Got the Rhogam shot because I am O- blood type. Most importantly, saw the baby! So cute!! Love Baby!!

Sidenote: I am so thankful for this pregnancy. With Gabriel on Week 28 day 1 I went into Labor. They tried to stop it for two days and we had Gabriel Week 28 day 3. This little one is perfectly content on not going anywhere. Prayerfully for 12 more weeks. We are walking into uncharted territory of the 3rd trimester. So excited for what is to come! Blessings all!

Week 27

Technical difficulties yesterday.

Life is going well. Johnny has gotten to play with the baby now. Where if he presses my belly the baby finds him and presses back. Again, he is so sweet with the little one.

Another milestone conquered. I registered this week. With Gabriel, I had two well meaning friends talk me into registering even though in my heart I knew something was wrong. I cried before and after the experience. I felt stressed during the whole experience. (I hope no one minds me refering back to Gabriel. It is my only form of reference and it makes me appreciate this pregnancy so much more. No tears this time registering! It was fun and helped build excitement for what is coming.

We started our 12 week natural childbirth classes and I'm reading all sorts of books and articles on natural, unmedicated births. I know this could lead into a whole realm of debate. My next appointment is Thursday and Johnny is coming with me to start asking Dr. Nilson the hard questions about his views on natural birth.

3 days left of the second trimester and I can't wait to experience every one! Be blessed sweet friends, be blessed!

Week 26

I had been talking about our milestone of having Johnny feel the baby. I totally forgot to write last week that Johnny did feel the baby and see the baby kick my shirt for the first time on Dec. 29th. He is so super cute with the baby and my belly. I've been able to play with baby some. Where I push my belly and the baby will find the spot and push back. he, he so much fun!

Being pregnant goes by so fast! I love it. Have I said this before? We are now in the double digits to go. Johnny is taking in it stride, but I have to say that I get a little nervous. I am a pro at the ages of 4,5, 6 and 7 but a newborn???? Scary business! Thank goodness that in my weakness the Lord is strong! There are already lots of prayers going up about this.

The roof is on... They finished right as the snow started falling. BLESSING!!

Week 25

Good times this week! Baby is 2.2 lbs. Which is amazing to me because Gabriel was only 1.12 lbs at 28 weeks. This baby has 3 weeks to go! CRAZY!! Baby looks good. Is in the 74%. This doesn't mean a lot to me as long as Dr. Nilson continues to say healthy!

The other baby in our life as Johnny says, "Must be a God thing, because it is taking a life of its own." We started framing on Tuesday and tomorrow the shingles will be on the roof. Here is the latest pic of it as well. No more RV! No more RV! No more RV! Happy dance!!
