Weeks 27/28 Christmas and New Years!

Well, I did not write a post last week because of Christmas eve and Christmas day. James' birthday was last Monday as well and we also had a doctors appointment so it was just a little extra busy :)

Christmas was bitter sweet, last year at this time I was 3 1/2 months pregnant with a little baby boy, (I didn't know at the time) expecting him to be celebrating with us this Christmas as a happy healthy 6 month old for his first Christmas. Instead we said good by to our little angel 8 months ago and that was the hardest thing I will probably ever have to do in my life. I pray anyway.

This New Year, we are now expecting a little baby girl to join us in the next couple months! I am 7 months along tomorrow and time is just slipping away. It's crazy how fast it feels this year has gone by. I'm just thrilled and anxious and afraid and excited and everything in between for McKenna to get here! I'm just looking for some happiness and excitement this year and make 2013 the best year ever.

And now to update

Total weight gain/loss: Alright alright alright, ugh what a lovely checkup I had on Christmas Eve.... I'm now at a total of 13 pounds gained. AHHH My dr wasn't worried so I have to make sure next month is less and then there is nothing to be afraid of. I just don't want to see preeclampsia ever again... poop

Maternity clothes: I've been loving my stretchy shirts and leggings and maternity jeans  :)

Stretch marks: Nothing new-

Best moment this wk: Constant baby movement!! She's a mover, like her brother!

Miss anything: Restless sleep :)

Movement: Absolutely, I'm beyond thankful for all the movement. It keeps me sane, because when she's not moving I go crazy until she moves again lol

Food cravings: Sweet now, weird- and crunchy and fruity and cold

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing specific.

 Symptoms: Round ligament pain and hip pain and lower back pain haha everything's moving

Have you started to show yet: I sure am, no question lol

Gender: It's a girl! And her name is McKenna Lee

Labor signs: None at all, good thing!

Belly Button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Depends on the day hahah

Looking forward to: The baby shower, it's coming up soon! And in a couple weeks we start the non stress test which will be awesome since then I get to see McKenna every week until she arrives and then I'll know that all is well and she will get here safely and when she's ready.
