7th Month!

I really can't believe how time has been flying by.  We have less than three months left now and this still seems so surreal!

New with baby:  I've been noticing hiccups now almost every day!  Also I'm beginning to notice real movements instead of just kicks and flops.  I felt a hand or foot go across my belly for the first time and can tell things are starting to get tight for her.  Poor little girl, it will only get worse over the next couple of months!  I will go in tomorrow for my 28 week check up and glucose tolerance test.  I will also work on getting my next picture taken and post it on here.

Last weekend consisted of sorting through things that have been given to us by my sister and James' sister.  A closet can sure fill up fast when little girls run in the family!

Dinner with some of my pregnant friends last weekend was so fun.  It's nice to catch up on everyone's experiences.  Yeah, we had four couples and four pregnancies all at one table at Space Aliens on Saturday night...and we're all due within three months of each other with our first child!

This pregnancy has been the best experience ever and we thank God every day to be given the chance to finally build our family!  Another friend that I got close with during our infertility struggles just reminded me that this week is National Infertility Awareness Week.  So please take a moment to think about the millions of couples out there who are struggling to achieve pregnancy.  I will continue to support her efforts to adopt and hopefully someday she, too, will achieve pregnancy, as I know first hand how difficult and frustrating it can be!

I'm looking forward to having a week break from work next week.  James and I will be heading to the Bloomington area for a couple days as kind of a mini "babymoon".  Just a couple of days to get away from home and have some fun together.

I also have a business trip coming up in May to Cleveland.  Not really looking forward to flying at 32 weeks of pregnancy, but I'm always up for some time outside of MN...not that Cleveland would be my first choice of locations...haha. 

Well I hope to spend some time outside today...mowing the lawn, reading some books, go for a walk, enjoy a smoothie... that's what's on my agenda anyway.

Enjoy your day, too!
