28 Weeks ( 7 Months)


I am proud of my 28 week belly!! It's fun when everyone that sees me knows I'm pregnant. I still have a few people that say I am not very big but for me I'm feeling pretty big! :)

This past week was so busy at work I had my glucose test Friday which I haven't heard any results from yet. My boss let me make up the time I missed so I was pretty much worn out last week from working 9 1/2 hrs almost every day, lame I know but at the end of the day I was pooped out. The baby is taking a lot more of my energy these days. It was nice leaving work at 8 am and starting my weekend early Friday but I felt like I was going to pass out when I left the doctor's office. I got to the doc at like 825 and they drew my blood and then gave me the glucose sugar to drink and drew my blood every hour for three hours so they drew my blood 4 times and I didn't leave the office until close to noon. I was starving!! My mom took me to my fav restaurant (Olive Garden) and it was really good, I ate four bread sticks, lots of salad and then I barely ate any of my meal cuz I was so full from the bread.

Friday night I started feeling sick and I had a slight temp of 99.1, just enough to make me feel like crap. Saturday and Sunday I had a runny nose and headache pretty much all day. I took some Tylenol cold but it didn't help and I wasn't sure what else I could take so I just made it through. Today I called the nurse and she said I could have Claritin and Afrin so I have been much better since I used the nasal spray. I am hoping its just allergies/cold and nothing serious. I have a doc appointment tomorrow at 415 so if I am not better by then I'm sure my doc will give me something.

This month is going by so fast I can't believe my first shower is this Thursday at my church and then my family/friends one is two weeks from this Saturday. I'm so excited!! I can't wait to start putting together some of her things. Her nursery is coming along great. It is almost completed and it looks really cute, I am waiting on some stickers I ordered and I am going to buy a big pic frame to put above our rocking chair so we can put a big pic of her in it when she gets here. All the pictures I ordered for her room we already have and they are all hung up so as soon as I get the stickers I will take some pics and post them.

This past Thursday night I went to a bow party and I went a little crazy on how many bows I got for her. It was so fun and the bows are all so neat, I took a bunch of outfits to match and their were so many cute ones to choose from for all the outfits I brought. I think I got around 15 bows and then I bought 4 headbands so I can clip the bows on them until she gets some hair I can clip them to. My sis is going to have a bow party this summer and I am thinking about having one in the fall after Lexi gets here so I can know if she has hair or not. It's so much fun, I'm so glad I am getting to experience all this. God has blessed us beyond measure and I can't wait to meet my precious little girl. I will cherish her forever!!
