28 Weeks!!

Welcome back! I know, I know, it's been a little while and I've had many of you ask me when I was going to update this! As you can see I am growing in leaps and bounds and feeling good! I am amazed at how much bigger I am compared to the last update at 20 weeks! The neat thing is, I am only gaining weight in my tummy and no where else, what a blessing! :)

At the end of October, I had a devestating time with my oldest cat, Sheerah. I had to put her to sleep and that was just tragic to me. I had her for almost 15 years and just over night, she turned for the worse. She had a large mass in her intestine and all her lymphnodes were inflamed. I still cry a lot til this day because she was my #1 cat and I can't believe she is gone. Life is so different without her. I was hoping that my grieving wouldn't affect the baby and many told me it wouldn't but crying when pregnant is so different than crying when you're not. It's a deeper, more emotional cry, it's not fun.

Moving on, I have NOT found out the sex of the baby and have MANY people telling me their opinion! There are SO many pregnant woman at Commerce and they ALL know they are having a girl! There aren't many surprises in life so I want this to be a big surprise, though I am dying to know what this baby is now! ha! I have gone and bought a few outfits because I couldn't resist them and I want baby to be VERY warm coming home in what may be a cold February :) Plus being the baby's Mommy, I wanted to get baby their first outfit :)

It's coming down to the wire and I'm not really nervous yet, just can't believe I have 3 months to go! You all know how fast the holidays come and go so, time will fly by! We are starting to work on the baby's room, going with the Soft and Fuzzy Pooh theme :) I've always loved Winnie the Pooh :)

Baby has been enjoying Friendly's Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Sundae's every so often :) Mommy enjoys feeding that to baby too! HA! :)

My next appointment is November 29th which I will have the Gestational Diabetes test. I won't get to have an ultra sound until weeks 32 and 36 - That is too long for me to wait to see the baby but, baby has been movin' and shakin' a lot :) I love the movements, it's just an amazing feeling!

This is a novel - but I'm happy you have requested updates! I won't wait as long next time, I promise :)
