28 Weeks

I never take belly pictures. When I was pregnant with Madelyn we did one photo shoot only because my Mom begged for it.

This happens a lot, Mom begs for pictures and I am horrible at taking them and even worse at getting them off of my camera.

Looking back now I am sad that I never wrote down more about being pregnant with Madie Lou. So I thought I would try to write a few more things down from this little lady. Little disclaimer - I am not complaining about any of ailments, I am just recording.

First things first... A belly picture just for you Mom...

At 28 weeks...

• I am measuring about two weeks big.
• I am 4 lbs under the weight that I was at my first appointment with this baby. Apparently being pregnant is a great diet for me. The doctor is not worried about my lack of weight gain though because our little lady is still growing.
• She moves a ton and will let people feel her. When I was expecting Madie she would always stop moving as soon as I would put my hand on my belly. I think that Ben only felt Madie move a handful of times.
• With Madie I threw up just about every day the entire pregnancy. This baby I have random days that I don't feel great and have not had many throw up days at all.
• This baby kicks my bladder constantly.
• For about 2 months now my arms and legs have been almost completely numb due to the way that the baby is sitting. My doctor suggested going to a chiropractor but to be very honest they TERRIFY me! So for now I am just trying to deal with it and pretend that it is totally normal for people to not feel their limbs.
• I have officially reached the point that I would rather wear Ben's basketball shorts than anything else. If you come to my house don't judge me if I look like I am taking up being a gangsta. Ben likes to call me Missy Elliot.

We are so excited for this little lady to join our family.
