Updates!

Dustin and I are having fun starting to get Katie Grace’s room ready for her arrival. Dustin painted, hung a little chandelier, picked up / assembled her furniture, and put up curtain rods. I painted wooden letters, made a fabric and ribbon wreath and put together a flower arrangement.

Updates

Weeks Pregnant: 28

Milestones: Hello Third Trimester!

Katie Grace’s Movement: She moves throughout the day, but goes crazy at 8:00 every night! I don’t even have to guess what time it is when this starts, she is so consistent!

Weight Gain: 15 lbs.

Stretch Marks: A few, but they are already starting to fade.

Nausea: Pretty much gone, thank goodness! It was so bad up until around 22 weeks.

Latest Doctor’s Appointment Report: February 14th - I am measuring 3 weeks ahead of schedule which could mean 1) she is high in my uterus right now, 2) my belly is just more round because I’m short or c) she’s a big one.

Dreams: Crazy and in vivid color! In the past few weeks, I dreamed that Dustin was kidnapped by another girl, that Katie Grace’s arm was reaching out of my belly, among others.

What I Miss: Easily tying my shoes and putting on my seatbelt, oysters, steaks cooked medium, having energy, sleeping on my stomach.

What I’m Looking Forward To: Seeing what (and who) she looks like! For some reason I keep imagining her as a blonde (like Dustin was when he was little), but there’s a really good chance she has the Daryl Cole/Lindsay curly dark hair.

Cravings: Cheerios with bananas and anything chocolate.

What made me cry lately (thanks to hormones): Everything, especially this verse that has been stuck in my head - "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.” Matthew 18:10 What a comfort to know that children have their own angels watching over them!
