28 Weeks

I am offically in my 3rd trimester now! I went to the doctor today...blood pressure still doing well, 120/80, baby sounds healthy and I'm measuring right on track, about 27-28 weeks. Again, the doctor asked about fetal movement and I said that there is definitely more and more each day. Kind of a silly story...Saturday morning Tanner and I were lying in bed and my belly was on his lower back/butt and the baby kicked him really hard! I told him that was the baby telling him to hurry up and get ready to go to the gym. It made me laugh a bit. Tanner finally got kicked, even though I still got kicked too. He agreed once he placed the Doppler on my belly and saw the baby swishing all around.

If you've read the previous post, you know that I had a little trip to the hospital for bleeding, well again this morning when I woke up, I noticed I was spotting again. I talked to the doctor about it and he's sure it's due to the amount and intensity of fetal movement. Apparently, when the baby kicks, punches, turns, etc, hard enough it causes the uterus to stretch and expand, which in turn would cause some "bruising" or bleeding. So, I guess I'll have to just keep dealing with it for the next few months.

We get to take another trip to the doctor's office this week. This time it's for fun...we are choosing to do the 3-D sonogram on Thursday. I know many of you are thinking, "you'll be able to see the gender of the baby...", don't worry, they will not show us the full body, they will only show us the face. Be on the lookout for the pics. I will post them (as long as the baby cooperates) as soon as I can.

As for now, here are a couple pictures of the nursery so far. We have now painted, put up the "dream" decal and placed the furniture in it's place. Hope you enjoy!
