28 weeks

 Baby boy is so active! He rolls, kicks, jabs and punches. I love feeling him move about and it makes me so happy that he's healthy and growing as he should. This week was my regular doctor's appointment and I was poked and prodded but for a good cause :) I had my Rhogam shot, my weekly shot and had my blood drawn for a glucose test. Chugging that drink in five minutes makes me sick. Baby's heartbeat is strong and steady!

26 Weeks

Last week of my 2nd trimester! I'm 26 weeks and baby boy is the size of an eggplant. I'm feeling good and everything is going well with him. I had my weekly shot, which isn't so bad. Sometimes my hip is sore for a bit, but if it helps keep baby boy inside a little longer, it's worth it. Here's the weekly post...
