So, it's time for the belly pic! I'm now 28 weeks pregnant. I'm trying to get back on track with taking the pictures every 4 weeks. I really didn't notice a difference until I compared it to the 25 week picture. I can definitely feel a difference in my size, though. I'm starting to get very uncomfortable sleeping at night. I toss and turn all night long trying to find a position to sleep in. Sometimes my expanding belly can be very uncomfortable=) I can tell the baby's getting bigger by his movements. I feel him kicking, turning, punching, etc. all the time now. Sometimes during the day I just lay here and watch him move. It makes me laugh and smile. I'm still amazed at the fact that there's a little person growing inside me. He's also been quite an entertainer lately. The other night he put on a good show for my mom and Nicole. They got to see him and feel him move all over the place. He's picky about who he'll kick for, though. Rick tried to feel him and he stopped kicking. Then as soon as Rick moved, he resumed playtime. He really kicks for Thomas, though. Whenever he comes home from work, the baby gets really excited. While Thomas was in the field for a few days this week I would put the phone up to my belly so he could talk to the baby. He would get all excited and start kicking like crazy. It's the cutest thing=)
Time is going by way too fast! I was sitting at the lab getting my glucose tolerance test done yesterday (which, by the way, was disgusting) and I decided to pull out my calendar. I almost had a panic attack when I realized that it is already the end of October! I want to get started on the baby's room, but we haven't bought anything yet. I'm sure we'll get around to doing it next month sometime (hopefully). I'm just hoping to get it done while I still have the energy to do it.
We are adjusted to being at Fort Irwin now. I was a little scared when we came here at first because it was such a big change from Hawaii, but I'm really starting to like it. It's very quiet here and we are happy in our house. Thomas likes his new unit and the duties that he has here. His work schedule is taking us a little time to get used to, but that will happen in time.
