week twenty eight

this is the week where everyone, including my husband over FaceTime said i finally "popped". hello baby belly! there is no hiding you now. and hello to third trimester! crazy to think that in less than 12 weeks, baby will be here. in my arms.

i'm thankful for the bigger belly because hopefully that means little baby is growing! i'll know for sure more tomorrow when i have another intensive fetal ultrasound. we are hoping to hear some good news.

this week was a very low-key one, which was just what i needed. it was nice to come home and relax and not have to worry about this that or the other thing.

we started to order some of the big ticket items already for baby, i just couldn't wait. i want them here and set up already. so with some of the baby gift cards we received, we purchased these two things: play pen & rock n' play. there was one night where i set up the pack n' play all by myself and afterwards i was so exhausted, i went to bed at 7:30 that night. no lie. i got over 12 hours of sleep. it was fantastic.

i also joined the local gym and scheduled myself up for a couple yoga classes, including a water yoga class. i'm hoping it gets my butt back up and moving. i've been so lazy the past twenty eight weeks onward. it's ridiculous.

right now i'm praying that this negative degree weather in wisconsin will soon disappear. the reason being is that my winter jacket, with my number of layers is getting harder and harder every day to zip up over this growing belly. i crave that "warm" 30 degree weather where all this white stuff finally melts and is gone until the end of this year. i want to be outside, walking harlee with her new harness. i think we both are in need of some warm fresh air in our lungs. come on spring time. please don't wait until after baby is here for that to happen.
