28 Weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Don't know


Gender: Girl


Movement: All of the time. She's an active little girl. I'm starting to notice her kicking, or punching, high and low at the same time! She must be upside down or sitting straight up! (Hence the sore ribs!)


Stretchmarks: None yet


Sleep: I wake up frequently during the night. Seems like I can't get comfortable. I must be getting enough sleep though because I'm not dog tired in the mornings.


What I miss: Being able to sit down after I eat without feeling like I'm going to hyperventilate! It's so worth it though!


Cravings: I'm not really having any cravings lately. I've reallllly been wanting a vanilla diet coke from Sonic...


Symptoms: Sore ribs and shortness of breath (big time), sharp apin in hip (she must be on a nerve.


Best Moment this week: Just feeling her move constantly.


Random Updates: Nothing major this week...just watching her grow ( and myself grow!)

It seems like I popped over night. People can really tell I'm pregnant now!

Newest item for Lexi

Today I got in this adorable outfit for Miss Lexi. It was even cuter in person than online! I found it here and an added bonus: IT IS ON SALE!!! If you are having a little girl this website is something you MUST check out!

Things I've craved along the way...

This post is really for me to look back on and remember what all I craved with Lexi Belle.  Surprisingly, I haven't craved the things I thought I would crave. There hasn't been anything too "crazy" (yet) but mainly just things that sounded particularly good quite often. :) Here's the list thus far...

Green Beans

McDonald's Chocolate Shakes

Sushi (which I can't have) :( I told Robert this is the first thing I want after Lexi is born..that's if I can't breast feed..

Regular Coke...I'm normally a diet coke drinker


...

 

 

...and Bunny Tracks Ice cream. This is a new one. I just bought some. Will be eating tonight. For sure.

 

So far that's really it....I still have 12 weeks though...watch out :)

3D/4D Ultrasound

Here are our pics of Lexi Belle. She was a little modest and hid behind her hands, but if you look you can see some good shots of her nose and lips. She does have my nose, big lips, and long legs. Her hands and feet looked big, too. She opened her eye and looked right at us. It was so amazing! She also yawned and sucked her thumb. Enjoy the pics of our little sweet pea.

This is hard to see, but she's got her lips puckered up!

This is her foot. :)

You can see her little fingertips here! Right beside her tiny nose!

The 4D is awesome. I highly recommend!

27 Weeks

This is just a quick update. Today we are 27 weeks. Nothing really new this week, other than leg cramps. Oh my goodness. I've had at least 3-4 bad ones in the last few nights! I read that this is normal but dang! Those suckers hurt! I am also feeling a lot bigger it seems. I know there can't be that much of a difference after one week, but I really feel bigger! I'm not sure on weight gain. I quit weighing. It doesn't matter so why do it? That's my theory anyway (maybe I just don't want to know).

Lexi Belle weighs as much as a head of cauliflower and is around 14.5 inches long! That's so crazy to think about! She's really starting to put on weight and I read that she's opening and closing her eyes now! What a miracle.

Tomorrow is our 3D ultrasound. I cannot wait! I think my parents and sister are coming since we are having it done in my hometown. They are excited, as well. We will be able to tell somewhat of what she looks like! I think that this will really make me wish she was here even more! I am getting so excited I can hardly stand it.

The room is about done. We just lack the carpet/hardwood and closet door! My mom and dad got Lexi's bed for her (thank you again!!!) and it should be in this week. I can't wait to get everything set up!!!

Well that's about it for now...I'll post pics of the 3D ultrasound tomorrow evening.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I passed!

Whew! What a relief! The doctor called today and said I passed my GD test. I was so glad to know that I didn't have to take the 3 hour test.

Back to work tomorrow...then next week is the 3D ultrasound. We are really looking forward to it!

Well, that's it for today.

Snow Days = Bow Days

Since I was home today because of the snow, I decided to make Lexi Belle some bows! I made her one to wear to Bulldog games, one to wear with her outfit we will take her home from the hospital in, and one to go with another outfit we have. Here's how they turned out...

Here is the outfit that we will take her home in...

I just found out that we don't have school again tomorrow, so maybe I'll try to make Lexi something else..besides bows :)
