Holy cow, and just like that we've finished our 1st week in our 3rd trimester! We can hardly believe that we are less than 3 months away from meeting this precious child. I am feeling the baby all the time with kicks so strong that it often takes my breath away...I LOVE it! Grace often comes up to me and pulls my shirt, looks at me and says "baby" and then hugs, kisses & tickles my tummy, it's really sweet. I think she can feel the baby kicking her when we I am giving her a bottle before nap & bedtime as the baby is always moving when big sister is laying beside him/her. I am really enjoying these last few weeks where the 3 of is are together in this way. It's almost surreal to think about having them both in my arms and to be able to hold them at the same time...I can't wait!
I finally feel "nested" now that we have the new dresser put together and all the gender neutral layette washed, folded and put away. The dresser is technically going to be Grace's when we move her into her big girl room around Christmas, but for now it has all the baby things in it and I am so excited. The dresser was a gift from Nana and my friend Bethany helped me put it together. Not that David wasn't willing to help, it just worked out that way. :) It was fun having Bethany help since I helped do her nursery when baby Tyler came early. I do have quite a bit of shopping we need to do for things we still need, but thankfully the list isn't too long since we did everything gender neutral with Grace. Ironically, most of what we need is for Grace, not the baby - I guess that's just the beginning of being baby #2, poor kid. :) We did get a new double stroller from Grandma and Grandpa is going to buy Grace's big girl bed so most of the really big stuff is taken care of.
We had our monthly ultrasound May 16 with the specialists we saw with Grace and we felt MUCH better after our appointment. The Doctors there actually come into the ultrasound room and look at the baby with us, they are very thorough which we appreciate. The baby is still measuring ahead, for which we are grateful. Here's hoping I get the chance to try for that VBAC. :) The baby was putting on quite a show for us, grabbing his/her feet and smiling at us. Everything looks great and we get to go back again at 32 weeks for another peek at our sweet one.
Anyway, here are a few pictures of our little bean at 28 1/2 weeks!
