I must say that we are so incredibly grateful to all of our friends and family! We had an amazing baby shower, and we feel so blessed with how much help it has been for us! Thank you to everyone! It was so fun to be able to catch up with so many of you, and feel your love for us and our little one.
We Love You All So Much!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It really is a great holiday to be able to recognize all the blessings that we each have! I am so grateful for so many things. I truly know Heavenly Father is looking out for each of us! I'm so glad that he has a plan for me. This little boy is a huge part of it, and I can't wait for all the adventures that lie ahead!
Here are my prego questions for this week:
How Far Along: 28 weeks and 5 days (today 12/8/13)
Size Of Baby: about the size of a eggplant, about 13.6-14.8 inches long, and weighs about 1.5-2.5 pounds (according to "the Bump" app)
Maternity Clothes: still loving them :)
Stretch Marks: no new ones... lets keep that up!
Sleep: I'm starting to hit that "tired all the time" stage again... but I sleep pretty good most nights :) ... just some nights with aching hips
Best Moment of the Week: watching him roll back and forth a few times in a row... so amazing!
Movement: He's a busy boy! He will usually go through 3 days or so being really busy, and then take a day off and have a much calmer lazy day. When we went into our 28 wk appointment his heart rate was 171, my doctor said he was a little wired. haha. I think he really likes to work out in the mornings and at night ;)
Cravings: I don't think I would consider this a craving necessarily, but AJ was chopping up a fresh pineapple (which I normally would not think twice about.... never have liked them) and it just smelled absolutely amazing! He asked me if I wanted to try it, so I did, very hesitantly.... It was so good! I haven't really craved it since then, but I am surprised that I actually liked it!
Gender: BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Belly Button In or Out: same as before... it's about half way in and out... sometimes more out depending on where he is sitting. It's kinda funny when you can see it a little bit through my clothes
Wedding Ring on or off: off... we had to go get me a very lovely, very fake replacement... I tried just not wearing a ring since it wasn't fitting any more, but I kept feeling like I lost it, and I hated not wearing it. So this one will do... gives me peace of mind, knowing I haven't lost my real one!
What I Miss: The only thing I can think of (which isn't really even a big deal) is not eating cookie dough... I made sugar cookies this morning and it was very hard to say no to the dough, but I did! haha
What I am Looking Forward to: Week 30! I just hit my 3rd trimester, but 30 weeks seems like a huge milestone!
Symptoms: I just get a little nauseated when I'm hungry, and I'm starting to do the "nesting" thing (I think that's what they call it) where you want to go through everything and get it all in perfect organized condition.... although, I've also been really tired the last couple of days- Thank goodness for my amazing husband who is willing to let me sit in the rocker while he does the heavy lifting! - thanks babe! :)
Nursery: Not an office anymore! It's not really a nursery yet... but all our our storage stuff has been moved down to our other closets (remember all that nesting stuff... yep! we are getting somewhere!) and we started putting his stuff in the nursery closet, and figuring out where we want to put things :) it's not complete... but once we get it there I'll be sure to post pictures!
Emotions: It seems that my emotions are running very high right now... Hopefully it doesn't stay this way after pregnancy! haha.
Thank you all for being a part of our journey! It really amazes me how fast it seems to be going... before we know it we will have a sweet baby boy in our arms, with lots of love from so many people! Hope you've enjoyed your Sunday!
Love,
Kelsey, AJ, & Baby Boy Rodriguez
