28 Weeks and A Photogenic Dog



Reminton Ran over and sat looking at the camera ... just 5 seconds before the timer went off.
He refuses to be ignored in this post.

How far along ? 28 weeks

Total weight gain? I was 124 when I got pregnant now I am at 130.

Maternity Clothes? No not really stretchy materials for my skirts and tops are still working.... for now  but probably not long.

Stretch Marks? Nope, none at this point.

Sleep? Not bad, I am sleeping much better than the last update post. Except I get nauseated when my husband rocks in his sleep. He rocks back and forth while sleeping and it is like being on a boat!

Best moment this week? When Bright Eye's and Gage played tag, Bright Eye's taps on my stomach and Gage tapped back in the same place.

Miss Anything? Being away from family during this time.

Movement? I think he will take up kickboxing one day.... pow pow pow on one side then at the same time on the other side kick kick kick..... so yes he is very active!

Food Cravings? Watermelon and Cucumbers

Anything make you queasy or sick? No , just when my husband rocks in his sleep and moves the bed.

Gender? All boy , we have many pics of how he is 100% boy.... I was going to frame his ultrasounds but so many of them are indecent! Ha ha... So I picked out a few of his cranium shots and filed the others.

Symptoms? Swollen taste buds....they drive me nuts but my dentist said to keep with my regiment of flossing and brushing twice a day and using mouthwash often during the day.

Belly Button In or Out? Flat it has converted to a flat button.

Wedding Rings On or Off? On and still very loose.... I find them in the dryer sometimes when I take out the clothes, they must fall off when I am grabbing the clothes.

Happy or Moody? My husband says moody for the most part.... sadly I believe him and have no excuse.

Looking Forward To? Adding more things to the nursery.... slowly but surely we will get all we need.

Prayer is for the little things too!

I recently had been stressing out about not having anything for the baby, not having anything in the babies room, and not even starting to get ready. I am due in June and was wondering how it is all going to come together. I got to the point where I just couldn't sleep I was thinking about it so much. Then I realized that I was trying to make all things happen through my own power. I hadn't been praying for help. No more than a week after I started asking the Lord for what I needed, He provided. A sweet, selfless and loving lady named Diane sent me a care package. And when I say care package I mean CARE! Because she put a lot of thought, a lot of love and a lot of care into the gift. What caught me off guard was the fact that I had only met this sweet lady once, and it was a quick hello and congratulations during our husbands Basic Training graduation. Granted I have talked to her a few times via facebook message , we still have touched base less than 10 times! Diane saw a need she understood the feelings of being in a new town away from family and she understood that I would be feeling even more alone without any friends to share my pregnancy with. She set out to make me feel loved and thought of and prayed for, and she accomplished that. I received Diane's gift a few days ago and it was like having my own tiny baby shower. Diane filled a very loveley and awesome baby bag with things such as wipes, breast milk storage bags, onesies,a pacifier clip and holder, a bottle insulator,a disposable scented diaper baggy dispenser with extra baggies, and a super soft blanket lined with satin. These gifts could not have come at a better time, I know that my prayer was answered , and I thank the Lord for Diane's sweet spirit and will be thankful to her for the love she has shown me and my family. And one day I pray I can be a blessing to another just as Diane has been to me. Oh and today's sunday school message was about praying for the little things! If we ask not we receive not!

I had a doctors appointment so I had to wait to open the bag till after!

I wanted to get home so badly to open it!! Like a kid in a candy store .

Here are all the gifts I pulled out.
