Week #28

Well, we had another appointment this week and everything looks great. The baby is now a foot long and weighs around 2 pounds or so. He's definitely getting big... and so am I! This week he's been kicking me under the ribs and he's had hiccups twice. Now that's a really weird feeling. We've also started having appointments every two weeks now. Sean is getting ready to paint the baby's room and the bedding arrived this week. It's coming fast.

Well, my friend Kim turned me onto this website and I'm so glad she found it. What a great way to share all that's going on. Sean and I found out we were pregnant in the beginning of October. We were very excited but also a little scared for all of the upcoming changes. We had planned on trying in the summer but sometimes God has other plans so now we'll actually have a baby this summer! The first trimester started out great but we had a couple of bumps along the way with some bedrest from the doctor. However, after we got to the second trimester, all was well and it's been great ever since. I felt the baby for the first time at 16 weeks (faintly, but I felt him) and than nothing until around 19-20 weeks. But now he is VERY active and even likes to kick under his mom's ribs, but I love every second of it. When we went in for our 20 week ultrasound, we wanted to find out the sex and the ultrasound technician was sure to tell us before we started that this scan was to make sure the health was okay and IF we could find out the sex, she would tell us. Well, she didn't even have the wand on me for five seconds and made the comment, "I wasn't looking for it, but it's sure looking for us". Needless to say, there was no doubt it was a boy! Sean and Austin were both so happy. I was still wondering if she was sure. I had a dream and the baby was a girl. However, in the same dream, I kept the baby in the oven! Seriously, that's where we kept her and it was a known fact. In my dream I would sometimes pre-heat the oven and forget she was in there but I would get her out in time and she would only be a little red. So I guess I couldn't really depend on that dream for a girl. We are now at 27 weeks and all is moving along well. Austin moved into his new room upstairs and we're getting started on the baby's room. We would love to hear from you!
