I started having Braxton Hicks contractions a few weeks ago, which are totally normal at this stage of pregnancy (just the body's natural way of preparing itself for labor). Although they are not painful, they can be very uncomfortable. A lot more back pain this month as my uterus is now the size of a basketball... a lot of stretching going on (as you can see in the belly picture below).
Thanksgiving was awesome! I was proud of myself that I didn't over eat and feel stuffed, but ate just enough to feel satisfied. I baked about 3 pumpkin pies this month and was tempted to finish them off myself, but limited myself to one or 2 slices...each :)
Marty and I cooked our first turkey which had great flavor, but sad to say came out a bit dry... but that didn't stop Marty from digging in.. haha. :)
I have tried to remain as active as possible. Continuing to exercise at least 3-4 times a week. My trainer is keeping me motivated, even the weeks I can not go.
It has been a very busy season for us, as we are in the process of moving to a bigger place to make room for our expanding family. We found a town home in Simi Valley that is everything we prayed for... praise God. We are looking forward to making it a godly home to raise our little baby boy, but I know that I need to not get too carried away with decorating...as it is a rental and just a temporary dwelling place.
He has been kicking up a storm lately and I can finally see my whole stomach move and change shape when he turns and stretches (like a little alien is in there and trying to get out.. it's really weird!) He is about 15 inches long now and weighs about 3.5 lbs.
At 28 weeks I now have doctors appointments every 2 weeks for a tummy check. I don't mind going so often, because I LOVE to hear the baby's strong heart beat. It amazes me every time that there is another life growing inside of me. Only God can do that! :)
I can't believe how fast time is flying by. Christmas is just around the corner and then he will be here in just a few short months! Please continue to pray for a healthy baby boy and that the rest of my pregnancy would go smoothly.
Love to all!
