HELLO 3rd Trimester! 28 Weeks!

August 15th!

HOW ARE WE ALMOST ALREADY THERE?! I thought I JUST GOT PREGNANT?! :D 

This week baby girl is the size of an echidna (not the cutest animal). She's about 16inches tall and weights about 2.5lbs! She is starting to pack on the fat (OMG little baby rolls!).  She's also dreaming! What can she even have to dream about right now?! So neat :D 

How's Mama? I'm doing great! Tired, but that's to be excepted. I've been keeping up with these Fitbit challenges and have been walking A TON. I'm not sure if it's from the walking or what, but my back is mostly gone- PTL! and my pelvic pain is easing up too. I have had this weird shooting pain in my groin area, but I feel like it might just be little girl pushing on my bladder and it hurting? Otherwise, still doing well on my weight gain and getting bigger! Oh TMI- consitpation is a real thing. I think I made the mistake of increasing my iron without increasing my fiber. Yikes. I need to fix that asap. Baby girl is still kicking up a storm these days! I love it so much. It is definitely my favorite part of being pregnant and I will miss it the most. Especially, our games. I poke you and you poke me back games. haha

8 weeks vs. 28 weeks!

How's Daddy? Doing great too! Still struggling with the sleep thing, but I think we'll both struggle with that from now on. At least on some level. lol. Daddy has been working hard, taking care of mama, and working in the garage! 

Starting to come together!

This week: We were still on baby watch for most of the week, but at the end of it our sweet little Nephew- Mason Alexander arrived!!! He will be getting another post :D BUT HE'S HERE! 

John was completely in love.

Look at that face. He's perfect.

The rest of the week was pretty dull in comparison. haha. We did go to BJ's solo show at the Lincoln Theater Saturday night. We went out to eat beforehand and then went to the show. We had a nice little date night :D. We are definitely getting old though- all those young college kids were rather annoying. haha. At one point I got really hot, so I went to go outside. It was even hotter out there. I needed something cold ASAP. I totally skipped the line and asked the boys in the front if I could just grab a cup of ice because I wasnt feeling well. One look at my belly and they were like- OMG yes! The bartender freaked out a little and was concerned I was about to go into labor. They gave me 2 cups of ice. haha. It helped tremendously and kept me cool the whole show. I was cracking up hard at how freaked out all those boys were though! LOL.
