Well, as the title says, I don't have much to report this time around. As much as time flies, I find that pregnancy can really drag on. So, I will fill you in on 'the little things' that are going on.
Yesterday, I had my 28 week appointment. No fun ultrasounds or news to report there; I got a shot and the disappointing news that I gained a bunch of weight since my last visit. I'm finding solace with that in the fact that between 24-28 weeks it's very common for the baby to have a huge growth spurt and is often when women report the largest amount of weight gain. That, and I posted my first real pregnancy pics on fb today and have been getting several really sweet and encouraging comments on them. For those of you who follow the blog but do not have fb, I will include one on here.
I'm one of the lucky few who has to get the Rhogam shot at 28 weeks due to my blood type. In a nutshell, having my blood type could mean that my body is incompatible with that of the baby's blood, and the shot of Rhogam keeps my body from producing antibodies against her.
Other than that, not much is new. I am finding myself slowing down a bit with my daily activities. It's a tough pill to swallow with the busy holiday season and birthdays to come. I'm happy that the nursery is mostly complete, and lots of the wardrobe sorting is finished. I'm gearing up for lots of baby laundry and cloth diaper prepping next.
Other than that, i'm looking forward to November wrapping up. I'm excited for Thanksgiving and Matt's birthday, as well as the start of December. The first week of December will be my 32 week Dr. appointment, as well as the landmark where I get to say, "I'm having my baby next month!". As exciting as it is, I am also trying to remember how much life will change and appreciate it as it is in the mean time.
