Here I am at 28 weeks!

A friend told me a few months ago that is was time to start blogging again since our little family is going to be growing just a little come June! It's been over a year since I've blogged about anything! We are so excited about this new adventure we are about to embark on!

We found out we were expecting back in October. We told our parents a few weeks later and let everyone else know after the first trimester--except for a few friends who knew from the start!

I'm now 25 1/2 weeks and we know that our Jellybean is going to be a little girl! Luckily my pregnancy has been a pretty uneventful one because so far everything has gone smoothly and we pray that it continues to do so! We go Tuesday for a checkup then our April appointment will be the glucose test--which I hope and pray I pass! We also hope to do the 4D ultrasound in April so our parents can come to see our little one! They are all very excited and Jellybean is already so loved and spoiled I can't even imagine how it will be when she finally gets here!!!

My friend Erin has been posting a few surveys about her pregnancy so I thought I would steal one! So here it goes...

How far along? 25.4 wks
Total weight gain: by my scales around 13 lbs...but we'll see what the Dr. scales say on Tues.
Maternity clothes? oh yes! Been wearing them for quite awhile now!!!
Stretch marks? not yet....
Sleep: getting more and more difficult. Jellybean likes to move at night and my hips hurt a lot from laying on my side.
Best moment this week:hitting 25 weeks, seeing the Halsey fam. at Brenna's 2nd b.day, spending a quiet evening with Justin.
Feeling normal Movement: yes, mostly at night or if I'm sitting or laying down.
Food cravings? not much anymore...was craving Doritos and Kraft Mac and Cheese but that has subsided!
Anything making you queasy or sick: not anymore! Couldn't stand the thought of meat for almost my entire first trimester!
Gender: Girl
Name? Yes we have one! Not announcing it to the world...close friends and family know though.
Labor Signs: nope! Thank goodness!
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy unless it's been a bad day at work then I'm just stressed....
Looking forward to: our Drs apt. to make sure everything is still going great, scheduling our 4D ultrasound, scheduling our showers, and getting started on baby girl's bedding and nursery!

Here are a few pics from the last 6 months!
