28 weeks.. 12 to go

It has been a little while since I have posted anything. Things are going good! I had a doctors appointment on Tuesday and had to do my 3 hour glucose test again. Luckily, I passed it! I saw Dr. Gray this time and I really like him. He said I am measuring right where I need to be. Everything else is looking good. Austin's heart rate was 156 and he was very active that day. I think that sugar drink really got him going. He also doesn't like when I am hungry so he moves around a lot to let me know to get some food in me. hehe  


We went to Illinois this weekend and had a great time seeing my family. My cousin katie got Austin a cute little outfit and heartbeat monitor that has earphones. We tried it out and heard his heart beat for a minute. My cousin Dana got Austin a little outfit and some burp cloths. It is so much fun getting things for him and just trying to imagine him wearing them. I try so hard to picture what our son will look like but I won't know until he decides to come. :) Dad got to feel Austin kick this weekend. He was so excited and every time I saw him he would say "Is little A kicking?". It makes me so happy that he has a grandpa that is so excited about him and is going to love him so much. Katie also got to feel him move around and kick. It is such a wonderful feeling sharing these moments with my family. I am so lucky to have them, they are always so supportive and loving. 


This week is fall break and I have really enjoyed being off. Started the break with our trip to Illinois and then traveled home on Monday. We stopped and visited my mother's grave. It makes me feel better when I get to visit her grave. She is buried in IL so I only get to see her once or twice a year. We traveled all day and all I could do was lounge when we got home on Monday afternoon. Tuesday, I had my doctors apt. and got to spend the day with Lindsey. Wednesday, I had to make up for all the sleep I have missed. Yesterday, I got up early and got my oil changed and then met a friend for lunch. Then, I met a friend who lives out of town and we went baby shopping. She is having a baby too and it was a lot of fun to go shopping and catch up on things. Today I plan on cleaning up around the house and doing some laundry. I haven't done one thing for school this week and I don't know if I will this weekend. It is really hard to focus on work right now. I am just ready for Austin to be here and get the time off work to spend with him. I know it will be hard to go back to work. 


So, Franz finished painting Austin's room. We still have some things we need to do like decorate the walls but overall the big things are done.  Here are the pictures.

I plan on getting Franz to take my 28 week picture today. So be waiting... :) I am pretty big!

Okay here it is.... Big momma at 28 weeks
