28 Week STUFF!

BIG MAMA at 28 WEEKS!
I am out of breath just showering and getting ready UGH!


SWEET BABY GIRL at 28 WEEKS!
Yes, that's her leg above her head :)

I ordered some SWANK thank you notes from EBAY.
Aren't they TOO CUTE?
$15 for 30 cards.


Now on to the exciting news... As most of you know, this is my 8th child.  I have never had a baby shower for any of my adopted babies!  My homeschool group moms are having my FIRST EVER baby shower for me and I could NOT BE MORE EXCITED & THRILLED! It's Saturday. I know it sounds dumb but I have always dreamed of registering for a shower & being at one-surrounded with family and friends. I took 20 minutes (as long as I can be on my feet) and registered at Target yesterday. IT FELT GOOD!

THE DOCTOR UPDATE...

I had my appointment yesterday. We did a regular sono, 3-D sono, my 28 week glucose-PASS, & 24 hour urine protein. 

I won't have the results of the protein test back until today or tomorrow. That will tell the real story. The only concerning thing yesterday was the level of amniotic fluid. It is now on the lowest side of normal which is very common in pregnant moms with hypertension.  They will be monitoring the fluid carefully from here on out. I am on modified bed rest until the birth of the baby and my church just emailed me that they will be brining in meals while my husband is at work.. I CRIED... WHAT A BLESSING. A blessing I would NEVER ask for but truly need.

  6. That is SO cool about the meals! Truly the church being the church! I know I have a hard time asking for (or accepting) help, even when I truly need it. Just relax as much as you can, take what they are offering in love, and do your REAL work... cookin' that baby for a little while longer! LOL! :-)

  10. Well, gosh, for someone on bed rest, you look beautiful! And, no kidding, your baby girl looks like she is smiling in the u/s!!!

    I have to say, I'm sort of glad the doc put you on modified bed rest because otherwise, you would go, Go, GO and take care of everyone else while putting yourself last. This way you HAVE to focus on yourself a bit more.

    The thank you cards are very cool, and the people in your church, collaborating to feed you, are angels!
