28 Weeks!

28 weeks yesterday! Yay! Officially the 3rd trimester! 12 weeks to go and our little boy will be in our arms.
I had my OB appointment yesterday. I had a Rhogam shot and my glucose test, so lets hope for good results for that test!
*Weight Gain: 4 lbs total! Since my last appointment three weeks ago, I gained 2 lbs!
*Next Appointment: April 30th will be my 30 week check up. It will also be the last ultrasound that they measure my cervix! At this point, I have made it this far and we feel confident. (Cone biospy over a year ago could weaken my cervix, causing it to shorten too soon.)
*Sleeping: I sleep well, just having to make frequent bathroom trips gets old after awhile. Oh and 3am seems to be his time to dance because I wake up almost every night at 3am to him going wild!
*Any Problems?: My stomach seems to actually feel heavy. I was walking in the backyard and lifted my stomach up and it made a world of difference! Does this mean I need one of those belly bands? I hope not!
*Movement: He is an active monkey and is doing kicks, flips, and tumbles.
*Favorite moment: at my 28 week appointment, we tried to get a good 4D photo (she tried last week too during my routine ultrasounds) and he was not working with us. But, he was sucking his thumb and it was so precious to watch!

27 Weeks With Number 2!


I kinda cheated - I took this yesterday, but I figured... eh, I won't change literally overnight, so its all good.

Since I'm back to blogging, I want to do an update weekly!
*Weight Gain: last time we checked, which was two weeks ago, I had only gained 1.5lbs, but I figure I must have gained another 2lbs by now. I was steadily losing weight and Brayden was gaining, so I was glad to see an increase in numbers.
* Next Appointment: Next week, the 16th, is my 28th week appointment. I get ultrasounds every two weeks for my cervix issues (I had a biospy which could potentially cause it to be weaker and shorten prematurely). I will get an ultrasound, my 2nd Rhogam shot for this pregnancy, and glucose test. Fun!
*Sleeping: I am sleeping pretty well, minus having to pee like every 2-3 hours. Joy!
*Any Problems?: No problems, just starting to actually FEEL pregnant. Bending over is harder, I need to take things slower, lifting needs to be done with my legs, not back..
*Movement: Oh, he finds my bladder and kicks the crap out of it. He is a mover, pretty frequently, and has a set schedule most days.

All in all, this pregnancy is pretty amazing. I had minimal sickness, I'm not gaining too much weight... Overall, life and pregnancy is feeling good. 13 more weeks til we meet our little man! I can't wait to see his face and squeeze him!
