About 28 weeks!

We are about 28 weeks along, after I told everyone for about the past two weeks I was 28 weeks pregnant, the Doctor informed me I will be 28 weeks on Thursday. I do not know why I decided to skip weeks. I feel like Phedra on Housewives of Atlanta lying about my due date! It was not intentional, I just think I woke up and decided I was further along! The past few weeks have gone by slow and each time I reach a new week, I feel like I have repeated it. I even have an app on my phone that says what week I am, but I was still telling people I was 28 weeks! Everytime I looked at the app I just ignored it. I really have no clue why I did that, hormones, maybe, exhaustion, maybe, airhead- most likely! I think all along Lucas knew what week I was, but he kept it to himself! Poor Lucas!

The past few weeks have, well felt like groundhog day since I have been 28 weeks for three weeks, but they have been so exciting! We had my baby shower and it went so well! I was sad because some of my friends couldn't make it, but after all the tears the week leading up to it, it turned out wonderful! My sister loaned her beautiful home, and all my sister in laws and mother in law hosted it to make it perfect! It was nautical themed to match his un-themed nursery. My Mom and I decided we would not do a themed nursery because it is so hard to find perfect decorations, but it ended up very themed! I want him to be very classy and JFK JR. Martha's vineyards- you know very Hamptons chic! I would like him dressed very preppy all the time, which I know won't always happen but this is my visual for him right now. I am sure he will end up being a goth, but I will still love him!

A new thing that has come on in the past few weeks is tears...... about everything. I cry so hard about things that seem so important at the time, but I know once I wrap my head around the issue, it's not that big of a deal. Lucas has to do alot of listening and grabbing toliet paper for me to blow my nose, but he tries to calm me down when he can. Everything makes me cry, the way someone looks at me can bring on automatic tears. He actual asked me if I bought waterproof mascara, because I think he is kind of tired of the black mascara being all over his shirt, my shirt, his pillow, my pillow, Big, Skeeter, the couch, everywhere. I need to pull it together, and I am trying to not let too many tears get in my way this week.

(27 weeks pregnant!)

Jackson's,(Jake, as I think we are going to call him for short)room is sort of coming together. I really need to get some things on his walls and find places for everything. I kind of just stuck his gifts in there. I will try to work on it this weekend. We have had a very busy couple of weeks, but November should slow down a bit, so hopefully we can finish up his room!

We got another sonogram yesterday and he was so cute on the sono screen. He has a tiny turned up piggy nose, and very chubby cheeks. He was moving around like crazy! The pictures they printed didn't turn out that well, hard to see unless you are his mommy and daddy! Luke thinks he looks just like me in one. He says when I am sleeping we look identical! I am hoping he looks like Luke, because he was such a cute baby! I kind of looked like Chucky, with that strawberry blonde hair. I don't know, I just think he will be so cute no matter who he looks like! He is not as big as he was last time,(on the weekly/size chart) which is a relief! He was a linebacker at our 20 week sono! He is now short and fat, which was how I was at birth too, so he may be taking after me! Everything looked great on the sono, everything has been great so far at all my appointments. My only issue is the swelling, but my Doctor just tells me it's all normal. We feel very blessed, and he said we are right on track. His head isn't facing down yet, but he said that is ok. He should get that way in the next couple weeks. I feel like he is falling out already and I told Lucas all weekend he was falling out, but the Doctor told me he isn't. I am not totally convinced!

I am noticing a lot of different things getting in my third trimester- I am alot more tired, hopping up from the couch isn't as easy, bending over isn't easy, I can't see my feet, and all I want to do is eat sweets! I get overly tired from doing very easy things, but I guess it is all normal! Lucas helps alot, he really tries to help me out as much possible. He is learning how to cook the 5 things I know how to cook so he can help with that after he is born too! So far he has learned King Ranch Casserole, Spaghetti, Chicken Taquitos, and Beef and Cabbage. I really only know how to make one other thing, so I think we are pretty good! I just rotate our meals each week!

So here we go, last trimester! So exciting that on Thursday we only have 12 weeks to go! Holy Moly! This really has flown by. Child CPR class tonight, we feel like real live parents! Hopefully it all stays on track, we are so lucky.
