28 Weeks

Time is flying by. When people used to ask when I was due, I would say "Oh, not until March." Now when they ask and I say "March" they always reply with "Wow that's coming up!!" YIKES!!! I am so scared of the labor and delivery part! I am beyond excited to meet our little man, but getting him out scares me beyond belief. I'll admit it, I'm a wuss! I can't handle pain!! So my birth plan and drugs!! Enough to make me not feel anything! I'm ok with that:)

Anyways, I am starting to feel very large! I went and got my hair cut today and sitting in the chair all I could think was "Last time I was here I did not look this round!!" I know I'm pregnant, but come on! I know I've gained more than I should, but I do have to blame some of this on my ADD meds I was on before I got pregnant. It gave me a suppressed appetite so when I stopped taking it I had a have a hard time knowing when to stop:( Once I am done breast feeding, I am so excited to get back on it. I miss being motivated and not distracted by every little thing. Plus the meds helped with my chronic fatigue, so I wasn't half as tired. Yes, again I know I'm pregnant, but this is a whole new level of tired. It is all for our baby boy and I wouldn't change a thing, but I can complain about it:)

This week too, my foot has started really bothering me. I have plantars facitis which can make it very painful to walk and it comes and goes. Now with this extra weight I'm carrying it is exagerating it. I wore my corrective boot for a day but it did nothing for me. So now it's time to make a call to the podiatrist. YAY.... another Dr to add to my list:)

So enough complaining! Sorry, I feel like this whole post is one big complaint!! On a positive note, I LOVE feeling and watching my little one move around my belly. It is just the neatest feeling every. I could sit here and watch him move all day. I know I will miss that once he is on the outside. It's like something I share with him that no one else can have. Selfish I know, but I love it. He got the hiccups the other day for the first time I could feel it:) It took about 5 minutes of constant thumps for me to realize he had the hiccups!! It was so cute. He started getting annoyed and kicking around after about 15 minutes of having them.
