Sorry it's been a bit. I'm definately going through computer withdrawal! it's been a busy week. Hard to believe that Christmas is less than a week away. Payday tomorrow so I'll be a busy little bee getting last minute stuff and doing a bit of baking. Our last christmas as a family of two! I can't wait until next year now!
All in all, things are well. This time off has been great so far, and I can't say I've been bored yet. My mind is finally at ease and I have a easier time falling asleep at night. Mind you I still don't sleep close to a full night, but at least it's a sound sleep! The pee breaks are getting more frequent, I'm up to about 3-4 a night so far. I hear it will be every hour in the near future! Baby Avah is doing great! She's kicking like a trooper, it's such an amazing experience!! I feel truly blessed to have had this experience. It's a feeling that you can't even describe. I love to watch my belly move when she kicks and moves around. Not being around pregnant woman very often, I honestly didn't have any real idea about that. And when she kicks, I always poke her back. It's like a reassurance that I am here for her. We play tag some mornings, where she will kick, I poke back, then she kicks again, then I poke again. It's a surreal experience. Definately something I never thought I would experience, and now it's finally here. I cry sometimes at the thought of how blessed we are.
Here is my 28 week 4 day pic. Belly is expanding. I had a huge jump in weight this time around, but doc indicates that it's normal where I haven't gained much up until now. And 1-2 pounds per week is expected. So I'm up to 15lbs gained at 28 weeks 2 days.
UC baby on Saturday was amazing to say the least! I layed back on a hospital type bed and Wes got to enjoy the sights from a nice couch next to me. They had like a 32 inch screen that you got to watch everything on! We got a CD with about 91 pics, some a lot clearer than others, overall, we're impressed. Plus we got a DVD with the whole session recorded on (about 30 minutes) where we can see Avah opening her eyes, smiling and yawning! We also got the heartbear bear, where we push the bears foot and hear her heartbeat! We also got confirmation that she is a girl!! I know we had that news a while back, but in the back of my mind, another opinion was great to have. So on Monday, I cut the tags off of all the girl clothes we received!! I was holding off on that until we had the 2nd opinion. Here are a couple of pics of our little angel!
Daddy bought Avah a gift 2 weeks ago. Pink Toronto Maple Leaf onesie with hat and booties! It's too cute!
A big Congrats to my cousin Jenni and her boyfriend Matt on their new little bundle of joy, Kloe! She was born on Friday, December 14th at 2:33pm weighing 8lbs 9 onces. Mommy and baby are home and doing great!!!
