I am hoping now that I am done with my statistics classes I will have more time to put regular posts on. I have a picture from last week and am going to get one on for this week.
So much changes with the baby from week to week and most of it is over night. I swear I wake up looking so much different everyday. We are getting so excited for little LuLu. We have been working hard on finding a name for her. I am thinking that like Mom Genessy and my mom, we will be naming her in the delivery room. I have three or four names that are sticking out to me right now. One that I have really liked is Callie but that name is too close to Kaylee.
It is so neat to see the baby's little personality come out. The other night I had the lap to sitting on my lap. After it had been on my lap a while it had started to slide down the lap pad and push on my tummy. Not more than two minutes later she was flopping around and kicking like crazy. I moved the lap top off my belly and she stopped kicking. Later that night Shawn was laying on my tummy and within a minute or two she started kicking him in the ear repeatedly. It was pretty funny. She does not like stuff pusing on her or restricting her in any way. She was the same exact way both times I was at the hospital with the monitors on my belly. She kicked them like crazy and wouldn't stop. I think she is going to be a feisty little girl (with red hair).
This last tuesday was our 28 week appointment. The doctor said everything is looking right on track with the pregnancy. My belly measured 27.5 which is what it should be. The baby was moving around so much that he was having a hard time getting her average heart beat. He said she was ranging from 128 bpm to 148 bpm. Now that I am in my third trimester, I go see the Dr. every two weeks. This is all flying by so quckly. I am definately seeing that I am much more tired and have much less stamina. I thought it was due to my recent health problem, but I am doing much better from that, but my energy hasn't come back so I am concluding that it is third trimester tiredness. My desire for nesting is starting to get stonger than ever before. I am constantly thinking about all of the projects I would like to do before Lulu comes, but we will see how far I get. I am not to the point of cleaning with a toothbrush yet, but I am sure my day will come!
The last two Saturday mornings, Shawn and I have gone garage selling in search of baby items. I am so excited because we found a yard sale with nothing but baby stuff! We cleaned house big time. We found a Johnny jumper, a brand new Carter's diaper bag, a sleep positioner, a few pairs of jammies, two sleep sacks, a bib, and some cute little hair clips all for 13 bucks!!!!!!!! It is so exciting finding good deals! There is no telling how much we would have spent buying all of that stuff brand new. All of it was barely used if used at all. It is fun getting ready for her. It makes me that much more excited.
Progress on the basement is moving along. Every weekend my dad and brother Robbie have come over to help Shawn for a few hours and they have almost half of the basement framed!! It is neat to see the progress. I think Shawn is a little "gun shy" since his little mishap so it has been nice having help with the basement. I am really looking forward to getting it done so we can put our house back together and get a nursery set up. I think Kaylee is even more excited than anyone about her new room. She has it all planned out how she wants it decorated and is always asking Shawn how her room is coming along.
