28 week update

Well, today we’ve reached 28 weeks, this means we’re officially in the last trimester and we have 12 weeks left until our baby arrives.

To update on what’s happening, I’m BIG!!! That’s all I can say. Honestly, we both stare of my tummy in amazement, we cannot believe that this is finally happening! Baby is very active as well so much so that my whole tummy jerks and jumps around with every turn. Last night we took a pic of my belly because it was all lopsided, the right side of my tummy was a just a big bump. The pic also gives you all a view from my point of view, LOL! This is all I see when I look down!!!

I’m assuming that the head is on that side as this is what the midwife thinks and from our last scan this is where it was positioned. Baby is laying horizontally and hasn’t turned yet which I am hoping will happen in the next few weeks. Cameron keeps trying to rub my tummy so that the position will change, but to no avail, next minute it’s right back to where it was. I’m also starting to get really uncomfortable and the leg cramps are getting too much to handle. This is going to be a big baby I know, otherwise all this discomfort means something else! Sleeping is becoming mission impossible because getting into a comfy position is something I vaguely remember. Thankfully the sleep police ensures that I never turn onto my back and lay on my side all night!!!

This week we go for the next round of blood tests where I will also do a sugar test which will test my body’s reaction to a sugar overload, which I am not looking forward to. The whole test takes about an hour and involves me drinking a very sweet, sugary drink and then waiting to see how I react! Hopefully this one doesn’t go into a sugar-overdrive! And it’s at least another 4 weeks til our next scan where we will finally get to see how big baby is. Right now, baby is averaging on a weight of 1kg and a height of 38cm, but these are merely calculated guesses and not confirmed!

We’ve also started preparing for baby and have finally bought the pram (THANKS BRAD & SHAM) and will hopefully go this week and get the Cot (a gift from Grandpa and Granny Pillay – THANK YOU)!!!

This is the latest belly pic taken this morning.

So we're officially 7 months pregnant and have just 12 more weeks to go. The time is coming where we will finally meet this little ray of sunshine and we are so excited and nervous all at the same time.
