28 weeks!


Yesterday I was 28 weeks pregnant. I can never believe it when I actually sit down to figure out the weeks. It's so easy to lose track when you stay home and are constantly busy with a toddler not to mention an eleven year old! Today I had my check-up. I had to drink the sugary drink-UGH! It's initial taste isn't bad but once it settled in my body I was a mess. I was so thankful to have Brian with me because he helped a lot with Kezzie and I never would have been able to drive home on my own! I don't remember the drink having that much of an effect on me when I was pregnant with Kezzie. I was so shaky and dizzy. I literally felt like I was instantly infected with a horrible flu. It thankfully wore off in a couple hours and I regained strength after eating a snack! Aside from all that, my appointment went really well. The baby's heart rate was a steady 154. And when the nurse got done listening Kezzie quickly stated 'Kezzie's turn?'. The doc measured my uterus at 30cm (you usually measure the amount of weeks you are)...I just about lost it when she told me that. I just keep getting bigger faster and faster! She said that is completely normal since this is my third baby! So now not only do I just feel huge, I actually am! I shouldn't complain though, pregnancy is one of the most amazing things God ever thought up and I am enjoying (almost) every minute of it! The baby is very active and I love laying in bed or sitting in the chair and just feeling her move my entire mid-section! Kezzie has also taken a huge interest in feeling her move. She will sit very patiently with her hand on my belly waiting for a wiggle. I have to tell her the baby is 'wiggling' in there because if I tell her she is 'kicking', Kezzie will try to kick her back! The sibling rivalry is already beginning!
