27 weeks is only 1 week shy of 28 weeks. It feels pretty good. I talked to my doctor yesterday and he said again that 28 weeks is a huge milestone. We won’t exactly be normal after 28 weeks, but we will have gotten past a lot of the risk. We are starting to talk about Sophia more and are making plans for the baby room. Our birthing classes start this Wednesday and I have a baby shower in 3 weeks. It is slowly starting to feel more real, that there will be a baby in the house sometime this summer.
Starting next week, the doctor is easing up on the activity restrictions. I can go for walks in the neighborhood (he said don’t walk a long way in one direction at first!) and I can work part-time from home. I asked about housework (I almost forgot to ask) and he said I can load and unload the dishwasher, which is good news for Sean. Still no mowing the lawn or lifting things, still no driving around town, but a little more normal.
Monday will be a good day. It is going to be so good, that they even made it a holiday. Sean and I are having a BBQ for everyone who has helped us in the last few months with meals, visits, driving and errands. Well, Sean is doing all the work. I’m just eating BBQ. (If we missed you on the invite, be sure to let me know!) This weekend is also our 4th wedding anniversary, Austen’s graduation from the 4th grade and the Big 12 Baseball Championship, with the University of Texas as the #1 seed. This will be a good weekend, just a few more days to go…
You look wonderful!! Enjoy your weekend. Are you registered for your baby shower anywhere?
We are registered at Babies ‘R Us, but we aren’t quite finished yet! We’ll wrap it up this weekend.
Thanks for all the notes from New Jersey! It is really good to hear from ya’ll. I’ve been loking into the diaper suggestion from Alexis. I love hearing what has really worked for people.
I just spent a few hours with my grandson and could not help but think about you. I am so glad everything is going well now, and I can’t wait until we can see that beautiful baby girl! (I can’t see anything in the ultrasounds…I never could!)
I’ll put my 2 cents in for the diapers..Fuzzybuns are the best. They are so easy for this old NaNa to change, and Alexis loves them. They seem to be saving alot of money and he is very comfortable in them.
All our love is with you.
