27 weeks 3 days

I'm trying to update my blog. I apologize...I am terrible at keeping up with it. JK thinks I'm a slacker =D We had our 26 week check up last week. Our little man's heartbeat sounded great and I'm measuring perfect. I had a huge weight gain at 25lbs total weight gain....yikes, with 3 more months to go. I had no problem losing the weight with the first two, but I'm scared at my age, it may take a little longer and require some work this time. They tested my blood sugar and did the blood panels. I still haven't heard back with the results, but I'm sure it's all fine. I also had to get another rhogam shot for my negative blood type. Normally, it's given at 26 weeks for the first time, but due to all the bleeding in the beginning, I had to get it early. It was required for me to have another one. I asked her about the contractions that I've been having since my 18th week, because some are a little concering (being strong and painful). She just wants me to watch them and immediately get off my feet, because we don't want my cervic dialating this early. The next time they are regular for over an hour, I am to call. It has really restricted my cleaning abilities. I clean for awhile, but the contractions always start, so I have to quit and take it easy. JK is getting real nervous the closer we get. Bless his heart, he is already wanting me to move in with our Pastor, who lives closer to the hospital. He's nervous, because we live 90 minutes from the closest hospital. I delivered Trevor 45 minutes after arriving at the hospital, which was only 5 minutes from our house. He's terrified that we'll be having a baby on the side of the road. =D

I was complaining the other night about how much weight I gain when I'm pregnant and Trevor said, "Mom, it's not the baby making you gain all that weight...I think it's all the brownies you eat!" Made me laugh.....he is a smart kid!!

We also bought his baby furniture and bedding today. It was very exciting. I had a bedding picked out, but saw a different one at Babies-R-Us that I really liked and to my suprise...it was on clearance. We got one heck of a deal. I got the 4 piece bedding, diaper sack, lamp, extra sheet, fleece blanket, mobile and wall hangings all for 160.00....WOW!! I was pretty proud of that purchase. JK is really tickled, cause he has wanted Pooh for him since the beginning, but I never saw anything I liked. It worked out perfect. We both liked it, so I knew we had to get it. Picking out his bedding and agreeing on anything has been quite the chore for Mom and Dad =D I can't wait to put the bedding in the crib. The furniture will not be here for another week and I'm a very impatient person. It's probably for the best, cause I have cleaning I need to do before moving it all in.

It's such a relief to have the furniture and bedding bought. I was getting a little stressed and feeling so behind. I am so fortunate to have a brother that has a set of boy/girl twins that are a year old. Either way, I was gonna have a huge stash of boy or girl clothes from him. He and his wife have been great sending us all their bottles, boy and neutral baby blankets, and all of Keiran's baby clothes...Wow, I feel so blessed! Kennedy told us the other day that her little brother isn't even here yet and already has a bigger wardrobe than her =D

We are spending our days enjoying this pregnancy with each other and the kids. The kids love to sit and watch him move my stomach around. He is quite the busy little guy....just like his big brother was. Kennedy was a calm baby, but my boys have been crazy in the tummy. Kennedy and I were laying on the couch, the other night, watching TV and her foot was next to my tummy. All of a sudden, she jerked her foot out and said, "What the heck is that?" haha At first she thought it was our chihuahua Tinky, until she saw her laying somewhere else. It was her little brother kicking her foot. Freaked her out a little =D I have enjoyed these cute little times with the kids and their baby brother. I need to get better about updating my blog, so that I don't miss any of them. I want to always remember these moments.

I don't have much to complain about. So far, the second half of the pregnancy has been much better. The pain is so much better and my stress level has went way down now that the problem is gone. I do have alot of rib pain, but all-in-all.....things are much better.
