28 Weeks




AND... here we are! 28 Weeks along- still no pain in my back or sciatica... or anything that you often hear about (thank goodness!!!). She is as hard as a rock, and likes to kick me VERY HIGH- I describe it that she kicks in the exact spot they teach you to put your fingers when learning chest presses for CPR, it practically knocks the wind out of me. But I dont mind- anytime I get to feel her I love it.
And have no fear.... we keep a pair of scissors close by incase we need to CUT me out of my sports bra!!!! I'm not sure this bad boy is going to make it for the rest of the modeling shots if I keep growing at this rate!!!!
We are getting very excited. Our next "4-week photo" will be 32 weeks, then 36, and then its BABY TIME!!!!!! We are almost there. I got a changing table for her last night, for some reason that made things seem very real.
I'm starting to get just a teency bit nervous about the birth. We signed up for a class, so that should help with the unknown, and I have experienced immense pain in my past from the endometriosis, so I am not too scared about the pain factor either... I guess I just want a bit more info on what to expect for this whole birthing process!!! But I do take great comfort in knowing that women have been giving birth for hundreds of years-so I know I can do it!!! (at this point- I dont have a choice!)

to add to it, women have been birthing babies for thousands of years without epidurals...until the 1950s...so of course you can do it whichever way you choose :) It's gonna be great! Praying for your delivery and the remainder of your pregnancy. You look awesome. I can't help but laugh at your sports bra comment--You think you're big now?! Just wait til your milk comes in, hahaha!
