Hello Third Trimester

Stats:

28 Weeks
Cravings: anything sweet and milk
Acid reflex is AWFUL and makes me throw up often...blah. 
Definitely hit the tired stage and napping is a must.
Baby boy is measuring 2 weeks AHEAD and doc thinks he'll be an 8 pounder...oh dear.
Baby boy is SUPER active all. the. time. I am thoroughly in love.
Nesting has begun.
Weight gain: 16 pounds
Dr visits are now every two weeks. Yipee!
So far the blood pressure is actually LOW and so hopefully we will not revisit pre-eclampsia.
Baby boy already has some hair and has the cutest little button nose.
Baby boy is still nameless....sigh.
My hips remembered looooong ago how to widen to prepare for baby boy. Darn.
I am carrying normal or high, which has given my siatic nerve a break from when I was pregnant with Owen, but now brings new pain in the rib cage. But overall my body (as mentioned before) DEFINITELY remembers how to be pregnant. ;)

I simply cannot wait to meet this little one. I can't wait for Owen to meet him too. He is already wanting to hold the baby's hand and comes up to me often to kiss my belly unannounced. So sweet. The countdown is on and surprisingly I am more thrilled than nervous. I'm sure those nerves will come soon enough. :)

The excited "older" brother. I can't believe he's going to be the older one soon! ahhh!

28 weeks along and growing A LOT
