Wow! Here I am finally! Life has gotten busy and it's been hard for me to get on here for any decent amount of time these days. With the kids in school and preschool, me working and then all the other things that come about, the computer has been low on the priority list.
So, anyway......I am almost 28 weeks pregnant (come Tuesday) according to my last visit. It's changed just by a few days, so close enough right? I have grown a lot in my opinion, although most people think I'm still rather small, that is compared to my pregnancies with my own two children. I'm pretty much all belly and I am having a harder time eating and breathing. I feel like a tick after each meal, which makes it hard to breathe and/or want to do anything! lol I don't recall such a hard time with my own boys, but I think they spread out more to the side versus up and down like this one. However, it has been over 4 years since my last pregnancy, so my memory could be serving me wrong. :) Who knows..... We had another ultrasound two weeks ago and the baby looks great. They are doing ultrasounds roughly every 6 weeks to check his progress, because the umbilical cord attached to the side of the placenta versus the middle and when that happens there's a very small chance of malnourishment, so they just want to keep watch. No big deal really and he's doing great! I find it really neat that the placenta has attached to the front of my uterus (meaning front portion of my belly) to where it cushions a lot of his kicks. I feel him mostly on the sides, top and bottom. That explained why it took so long for me to be able to really feel him, too. I think it's neat b/c maybe that's God's way of helping me keep from feeling him too much since he's not mine. I don't know. :) The parents are just so ecstatic and God has done so much in their lives. Our own children have been such huge blessings through all of this. When we sit down to eat, we pray. We ask them who they'd like to pray for at each meal and lately they say the baby. The coolest part is when they pray, they thank God for "the baby that momma's carrying for someone else and just protect the baby." It is just adorable! They seem to have no problem whatsoever with grasping the fact that this baby will not be coming home with us! I love it! God has really blessed our household tremendously! We will be going to Atlanta on Thursday for the hearing to make sure the parental rights go to P&K and then next week I get to do the yummy 1 hour glucose test. Eck! I just gag thinking about that drink! lol Time is moving fast. I have only 3 months left! Hard to believe! I'll try to get on here more often to update......no promises, but I'll try. ;)
