28-30 weeks!

I will start by apologizing for not updating my blog the past 4 weeks!! I had a busy month!! I went home to the states for a week and my wonderful family planned a baby shower for me! It was sooo nice! If I had planned to stay a bit longer I may have been stuck there another 2 or 3 weeks because of the volcano eruption in Iceland!! If only... haha. Although I would have missed my 28 week appointment with my midwife... so I guess its better that I'm back here!

I measured 30cm for the fundal height which is bigger than expected but maybe it was just how peanut lying :) My last appointment at 24 weeks I measured 24cm... just to give you an idea.

Peanut is moving around ALL the time!! It really is the coolest thing ever! Sometimes I just lay on the couch or lay in the tub and watch him move around in my belly :) It makes me feel so blessed and thankful to God for allowing me to have another life growing inside me!! It is the most wonderful thing I have experienced by far.

30 weeks - 150 lbs (24th April)

29 weeks - 151 lbs (17th April)



I don't have my 28 week picture since my mom hasn't emailed it to me yet :-P but I was 28 weeks at my baby shower so here is a picture :)

27 weeks = 6 months = start of 3rd trimester!

Only 3 months to go.. can you believe it??

I've had quite busy week... where shall I begin...

Tuesday as I was getting settled in bed it felt like someone poked me in the stomach.. I screamed quite loud.. probably scared peanut so whatever he did maybe he won't do it again! lol

Last day of school was Thursday!! We were all ready for a break!

Friday I woke up with the worst cramp in my calf ever! I was almost in tears... and it still hurts today! I guess I should start stretching and exercising more... oh and I had my hair done as well.

Saturday I had my massage and then went to Costco and Ikea with a friend from base. We bought lots of goodies from Costco :)

Here is my 27 week photo - 147 lbs

26 weeks!! and the dreams begin...

I had my first dream about giving birth!!! It was awesome and pain free! :) I remember saying "wow that only took about 5 minutes" and my sister (Nikki), looking at her watch, said "actually it was a bit longer than that". I was looking at peanut thinking.. hmm he doesn't look like either me or Dave... and he was sitting up, laughing and already had 3 teeth coming in!! I'm sure this will be the first of many strange dreams about peanut :)

Peanut is moving around almost all the time it seems now! I was taking a bath last night and I could see different parts of my stomach moving as he was.. it was pretty cool :)

26 weeks pic - 146.6 lbs.. I seem to be gaining 1.8lbs a week!
