28 1/2 weeks



How far along? I am 28 1/2 weeks...only 11 1/2 more to go! (But whose counting...haha)

Weight Gain:  25 pounds....I guess I am happy though that I am mostly "all belly"...I'm sure it wont stay that way haha

Sleep: I've bragged too much in my past posts about all the wonderful sleep I have been getting....its starting to go downhill.  But mainly its b/c I have been sick with a double ear infection, bad sinus infection and I'm pretty sure I have bronchitis...fun times!

Best moments this week: We got to see our baby boy in 4D and that was so much fun!  I always think that baby's look so weird in those pictures...and I'm not going to lie Greyson looked weird in some of them.  But whenever the baby moves a lot in 4D the pictures get distorted.  So luckily we were able to capture some really cute pictures (when he wasnt covering his face).  It was fun to get a little glimpse into what he looks like.  He definitely needs to fatten up some (he can use some of my 25 pounds I dont mind....haha).  We also got it all on DVD and I've watched it like 5 times already.  There are times where you can see him sucking on his thumb, stretching, swallowing, smiling, opening his eyes.  Hes a busy little guy in my belly!

Food cravings: SMOOTHIES.  Like I seriously cant get enough.  And whats horrible is that there are not any smoothie places close to me...so I have traveled pretty far to get them haha.

What I miss:I miss being able to move around a little smoother....its work trying to get up sometimes haha.  I also miss being able to breath normally....with a baby crowding my space and this sickness its been challenging!

What I am looking forward to: Well I have two showers coming up which I am so exciting about!  My assistant coach and Senior cheerleaders are having me a shower this weekend, and my best friend Erin is having me one the weekend after.  Greyson is truly blessed with so many people that love him already! One thing I am NOT looking forward to is my 3 hour glucose test on Friday...thats right I failed my 1 hours test :( I blame the cough medicine I took the day before I took my test...I didnt realize one of the ingredients was "high fructose corn syrup"....oops!

Milestones: I guess a milestone would be being in my third trimester!  I'm definitely more tired, and there are some not so fun symptoms in the third trimester, but that just means I am so close to getting to meet my baby!  Only about 79 more days!!

Here are some pics from the last few weeks!
My mom and niece Kali had me a shower a couple weeks ago and I had so much fun!  So much thought and planning went into it and it turned out perfect!  We got a lot of great gifts and we feel so blessed by everyones generosity!

Me and my beautiful mom after my shower.  I am so lucky to have her in my life.  She put so much thought into my shower and worked hard to make it perfect.  Greyson is so lucky to have her as his Grammy b/c she is going to love him so much (and I'm sure spoil him too haha)
