Baby Update

Well, I am well into my third trimester. I am almost 28 weeks and still feeling fairly well. I have had my days of being swollen, achy, and weepy, but over all I am doing well. Baby is growing well and measuring right on target. He is just around 2lbs now and is a very active little guy. He, unlike my other babies, moves all day every day. He kicks and rolls and moves with quite a bit of force. It makes me smile all the time. I can’t wait to meet this little guy in a few months. The room is shaping up nicely and we are moving forward in our projects to be done before his arrival. ‘

While the summer heat around here has been hard to bear, I am coping. We have been right about 100 degrees for almost 4 weeks straight now. I am praying for a break soon but until then I will be working inside the house and limiting the number of trips out. And I just keep reminding myself that he will be here soon and it will all be worth it in the end.

At my last doctor’s appointment my blood pressure was a little high and they were a little concerned but told me to try minimizing stress, drinking lots of water, and putting my feet up to reduce the sweeling in my legs and feet. I have been monitering my diet and my time in the heat along with my swelling and it seems to be doing the trick. I took my blood pressure several times over the last week and it is just fine. Not high at all. Just where they want it and I am so glad.

So, over all it is going well.

I am feeling pretty well.

Baby is active and strong.

I only have about 11 weeks until delivery!
