Week 27

Week 28

Ok Ok say I know I am getting pretty bad at keeping this thing updated. But to my defense I am also very tired all the time. I did find out that I am not diabetic, which was wonderful, since I do not have the ability to stick myself 3 times a day to check my blood sugar, but I am slightly anemic which means I need to find ways to increase iron in my diet. I am not sure how much you guys know about iron rich foods, but most of them are not recommended for pregnant women. Those that are are also very high in fiber. Fiber is good. It helps with the constipation that goes along with being pregnant, but for me I seem to have no in between. My body does not no what regular is anymore. Its one extreme to the other. Fun let me tell you!

Oh yeah there are a lot of other fun things about being pregnant other than that too. Got to love the nose bleeds. They seem to happen a little more often now. Also this child of mine love the rib cage area, which makes sitting with a short waist a fun little experiment. It lodges him up in there further and when I stand or move I can feel him slip out. There are a lot of things you should never feel, and something slipping along your rib cage is one of those things.

He has decided he needs some more room to stretch. Now my belly is growing as you can all see from the pictures, but does my son decide to stretch out front, or even up and down? No he stretches out sideways so that he can push both my sides at the same time. Now while I have grown in several different dimensions, width is not really one of them.

I have also learned a fun little fact this last weekend. My son does not like my singing voice, not that I can blame him. It is the reason why I only sing in the car, alone, with the music up so loud that I can't hear myself sing. I dropped Husband off at the airport the other night, and was singing with the radio on my way back and my son went completely still, which is rare during my waking hours. I thought cool, I sung my baby to sleep, either that or scared him into stillness. As soon as the horrible voice that leaves my throat was gone, he started moving again. So you can guess I didn't sing him to sleep, it must have been the other one.

My mom has been generous enough to give us a gift certificate for a 4D sonogram so be looking for those pictures to be posted soon. I only have 11 more weeks or so before this little one is out and about. I am getting more excited and more scared all at the same time.

Until the next installment.
