28 weeks...getting closer!





28 weeks marks a lot in the pregnancy - we saw our new doctor this week and are very excited about that! We also made a "birthing plan" with her, which really makes me feel more easy about the process... I will hopefully have a nurse midwife in the room to help me through without using drugs...we'll see, right?! We are also seeing a lot more of my belly - it's getting huge! You can definitely see my stomach moving now when the baby moves a lot and the baby is reacting to Ryan's voice when he talks right to it, into my belly. We also went to an appointment for a child care and looked around. We have a lot to think about as far as our personal preferences, but we are hoping that it will all come to us, as we make our decisions in the next couple of months. Lastly, we are going to our "Preparing for Childbirth" class, better known as Lamaze this coming Saturday alllllllllllllll day from 9-5 (we both work nights, so a lot of classes don't work out for us.) It will be a long day, but will be informative. We have a lot of classes lined up for the upcoming weeks, so we'll keep you posted about what we are learning! Hope everyone is well...and enjoys the new pictures.

Is there an alien in there?

You can actually see my stomach moving when the baby is punching or kicking hard, now. Ryan was convinced it was just me, but just a couple of days ago he saw my stomach get punched out a little (or kicked, who knows?). It was really neat, and I can't wait to have others see my belly moving...this is such an amazing experience!

Self-Photos at 25 weeks




I took these self-photos the weekend that Ryan was on his cruise. These pj's weren't always so small...
