~* 28 Weeks - Third Trimester! *~

28 Weeks

The third and final trimester has arrived!! I am so excited to be on the last lap of the pregnancy but I know in a way I will miss being pregnant. The jitters have also set in though. Naturally I am just worried the delivery will be a long drawn out process but am praying it won't, or that there will be complications. So I could really use your prayers from here on out for a quick delivery and a healthy baby boy!! :) 


Thursday was my Doctors appointment and she said I will be going every 2 weeks for a checkup now. The baby will hopefully move into position soon, if he hasn't already, and stay that way until he's ready to come out. Last week I thought I felt him flip or do a somersault so maybe he is already there. He still kicks me like crazy and pretty much prevents me from bending over at all now. My back goes in and out but doesn't bother me much until the weekend when I am actually up and moving more. One crazy thing I've been craving this whole pregnancy is: FISH. Most of you know I have never been much of a fish eater. But now I want to eat it all the time. I just have to stay away from certain types that contain mercury... which I have never found any of those kinds around here so all is good. Tilapia, cod, etc... but no salmon. YUCK. :) And we make more frequent trips through the McDonald's drive-through so I can get a snack size M&M & Oreo McFlurry :) Another thing I find odd is, which don't get me wrong I am an emotional roller coaster these days, but my fits of laughter have gone into the crazy stage. Any little old thing makes me laugh until I almost pee my pants. No kidding there. And of course I have mostly Robby to thank for these giggle fests. We went out to eat at Magic Wok last night for Chinese and he was trying to read his fortune cookie like a first grader... we were laughing so hard we had to leave. We are both sick with colds/sinus infection so that made for some unpleasant hacking episodes outside too. Which I'm sure you just loved to know that. Anyway they say laughter is the best medicine but I will try to tone it down a bit so it doesn't put me into labor. :)

Robby completed his first FULL week of student teaching with the 1st graders at Lewis & Clark. He has some great stories to tell me on the ride home. Thursday we had some nasty weather/wind, so the kids stayed inside for recess and he was on duty. The boys were being loud and obnoxious, so he told me he went over and played Barbies with the little girls. No wonder those kids love him... you know me and my Barbies when I was little, if I would have had a tall handsome guy like Rob come over and play with me it would have melted my heart. (Wes you count :) Then he said they got out the playdough and they were making him cookies. "Mr. Heiser... what kind of cookie do you want??? Lemon?" Awww the fun he will have as a Dad and teacher both. Hopefully he can get healed up from his cough and sinus congestion this weekend and be ready for the big Packer playoff game Sunday. The Heiser's will be coming over for some grub and football. :) 


I'll try and update this more often now that the due date is getting closer! Hopefully our little Easter bunny is right on time :) Have a great and relaxing weekend!!!!
