28 Weeks

Wow this pregnancy is starting to fly by. I can't believe I am coming into my 3rd trimester, scary! The next couple months are jam packed with holidays and birthday celebrations. February 10th is going to be here in the blink of an eye, and Jon and I couldn't be more thrilled. I love how excited Jon is. He is always saying "I can't wait until that little kid gets here, I am going to kiss her face all the time." He also says "I am going to have to take care of that little kid all the time." He is going to be such a great daddy.
I was able to really start feeling this little girl move around week 23. I was so mad cause I wasn't feeling anything for the longest time. At my target ultra sound the ultra sound tech said my placenta was lying right in the front and it is really thick. I guess thats why I wasn't feeling much. It's amazing to feel her moving and kicking, I am still amazed at what is really going on in there. I love this little girl SOOOO much already.
I have been feeling really good. The 2nd trimester was a breeze like I was told it usually is. Now that I am coming into the 3rd I am starting to feel those aches and pains of being BIG. My hips are hurting and I think my sciatic nerve is being messed with on the right side, I have a constant hamstring and calf cramp along with a very sore spot on my lower back/butt area:) It is strange experiencing all of these weird things my body is going through. I know that it will all be so worth it when I get my first glance at this little angel. I am also starting to feel tired again, and i just wanna sleep. Oh I also am a little worried about the weight that I am gaining. Everyone says its fine and that I don't even look big. But, I am the one that sees the scale. I have never cared what the number on the scale is but its hard to see the number jumping every time you step on. We'll see what the dr has to say about it, I have an appt today.
Here is a lovely picture at 28 weeks. I have to take them myself, Jon is working. Thats why I just cut my head off, I look retarded.

I also want to express how thankful I am for the things I have in my life. Things that I am thankful for:
-My loving, handsom husband
-The opportunity to be carrying this little angel
-The health that I have been blessed with through out my life and through out this pregnancy
-My family (they are AMAZING)
-My older sister. I don't get a chance to tell her just how much I look up to her and love her
-Jon's family
-The place that we have to live
-Modern medicine (without it I don't know how we would maintain Jon's diabetes)
-My testimony
-This beautiful time of year that we get to spend with those we love sooo much
- This free country that we live in
-Mine and Jon's job
-Food that we get to enjoy (and I think we take it for granite sometimes)

There are so many other things that I am thankful for. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas if I don't get another blog in before then. I have been a slacker with my blogging, and we haven't been doing anything exciting for the last month or so.
