3rd Trimester!

28 Weeks! Start of 3rd Trimester.

I still love being pregnant, no complaints really at all. The kicking and moving has become so much stronger lately. I love staring at my belly and watching it move in a sort of ripple pattern across as the baby rolls. I also love poking around at body parts and then having them poke me back. I am trying so hard to catch some of the giant kicks on video but I swear she knows the second I press record. I felt hiccups for the first time last night. I noticed these tiny taps that were very regular, timed out, then it hit me. I think they lasted about a half hour or so. Anyways they were down towards my pelvis so I am guessing that is where the head is now. We will be making our first baby video soon, so that our little one will always know what she/he was like in my belly. Also documenting how we lived our life at the time.

I did have my 27 week appointment last week. All went well. Heart rate was in the 150's.BP and weight good, I am just wondering how much more I will gain though! It has to slow down eventually right. O well, I can deal. With the nicer weather I have been walking the neighbor hood more, I walk, Brett runs:) My midwife thought she could grab around the head down in the pelvis too. My belly was measuring right on. Drank the glucola right down, and passed my gestational diabetes test too.

I decided I am going to experiment with cloth diapers too. I will start this around a month or two old, once the poop is not so ickky runny. I have it narrowed down to bum genius and softbums diapers. I will order a trial of each. I just can not believe how much money will be saved and happy I will not contribute to the millions of diapers currently sitting in the landfills now. I can always fall back on disposables for certain situations too, they aren't completely ruled out. I just think I owe it to myself and baby to at least try. I will be home mostly too so I think I can handle it, we'll see.

Also doing some traveling, Kansas City with my mom and sisters this weekend. Salt Lake City next weekend. May is going to fly by! I am scheduling a 4D US for the end of this month and need to work on pregnancy photos somewhere too. and NAMES!! This is by far the hardest and quite important too. I am putting a deadline on my to do list- 38 weeks, 10 to go!!!!!!
