28.2 Weeks and Counting

I had my appointment this morning, everything looks good with the baby, she might actually finally be getting into position. I've been feeling more of her kicks up around the rib cage area, and the Dr. said that her head felt like it was in the lower left side of my pelvis. Her heart rate was in the 160ish range, she didin't like her head being squeezed so she was moving around during the exam. I weigh 129.6 lbs, so I have gained 19 lbs so far, I will have to get blood drawn again in four weeks to check my Fe levels. After this next appointment, we will be starting the every two weeks check ups for 34 and 36 and then the weekly appointments until she is born. It's kinda scary when you break it down that way.

Here are photos of my latest belly shots. Ang, funny thing you asked about the side belly photo, I had DD take one of me like that this time around. I PS'd it to black and white, figured I wouldn't force you all to get up close and personal with my red stretch marks. I was thinking of all of your eyes! lol While DD was taking photos of me, she caught me scratching my belly, so I've included that one also, just for laughs.





I have to put a match under Michael's butt to get the floors started in the bedroom, I have been waiting to get that finished before I start setting up her corner and I'm getting antsy. I know the whole "nesting" thing is a part of pregnancy, but it's really driving me nuts trying to get everyone else on the same page as I am. lol

V., my shirt says, "does this big fat belly make me look fat?" It has a pregnant bunny lying down, asking the question. :D
