28 weeks ~ Baby # 2

Ah yes. Almost done. Super pumped. I know I'm a weird one that is looking forward to labor and delivery :) I can't wait to meet this little pun'kin. My next prenatal isn't until next week so I will update actual facts then, but for now some real life updates. I'm most definitely rounder .. in a rounder sort of way and this baby moves a lot more than Amelie did. I also had a little stretch where my symphasis pubis (look it up) was superbly sore and it still gets that way if I push myself too hard. Take it easy you say? Okay. I've eased up my work week so that I can use up my sick days (I think I have about 2 weeks left of days to use) and I'm only working until April 1st. Now lots of people ask why I don't work until the end and my response to that is ... why? For ... two-4 extra weeks ... I can have 2-4 extra weeks relaxing at home and getting prepared for baby instead and spending some time with Amélie and getting food frozen ... AND being able to sleep when I want to (mostly) Plus who finds it fun to go to work with a toddler to bring to a sitter and being huge. Not me. So ... no thanks.

In a couple weeks I also have another ultrasound ... sigh ... but a necessary one at that. (No I don't enjoy them) My placenta is lying quite low, near my cervix, therefore we need to make sure it's either stayed put ... or has moved up (which would be fantastic!) Once I get news about where that placenta is located I can relax. Baby being head down ... meh not worried about it. There are so many ways to influence a baby to turn around that it's not even on my mind. Well obviously it is because I'm thinking of ways ... but I believe baby is head down right now anyways. I'm just guessing by the harsh jabs to my ribs and the hiccups in my pelvis ... just sayin' ... probably.

I also wonder if this baby has more limbs than we previously counted because sometimes I wonder how it can POSSIBLY kick/punch in so many areas at the same time! Haha. I was suffering from restless legs for a while but after some gentle reminders (haha Eileen) that water was very important ... that seems to have settled for a bit. Now the battle is to find some clothes that fit. Luckily Gayle (who's losing weight) has sent me her clothes. LUCKILY because my maternity pants didn't fit anymore ... they were small anyways ... and that just means I have fabulous hips ;-)
