squirmy

squirmy...that is now your name. you wiggle and squirm and press your big head and big feet all over my belly and ribs. Your 28 weeks today and the "book" says you are at least 2 1/2 pounds and my guess is you weigh more. My belly is going out and is getting hard and when we go to the Dr. tomorrow we will see if I managed to gain some weight. Some days I have heartburn 24/7 and the idea of eating is next to impossible, but I push through so you can get the calories you need. We are in the third trimester and I should be eating even more calories now for you but I find it really hard to want to eat. You must love fruit though because that is all you want.

Don't worry though...your dad is eating for both of us;)

We have been to two weddings and once again I have learned you do NOT like loud noises like music and if I eat too much sugar...cake and apple juice I will barf in the parking lot. Then your grandma came to visit this last week and she got you a crib and helped us set up your room. She is very excited for you and will be back very soon near your birth. We took you to the ocean and you seemed to like it...no protests;)

You also had a baby shower with your dad's family and grandma and a few friends last weekend. They are very excited for you....you are kicking right now... you got lots of cute clothes and a car seat and stroller and high chair and a bear as big as mom. It's huge and awesome and creepy at the same time. Jo Jo felt your head and feet and is starting to understand you are in there and will be out in time for Thanksgiving. I don't think she will like having to share me with you. Her mom and twin sister want to hold you as soon as possible so I guess we will just trade kids.

I need to go back to school and set up my new classroom and then start teaching in a few weeks and I really hope you can be a good helper and not make me too sick or tired. I'm very nervous, very, very nervous about starting a new school, but I know this new job will be better for you and hopefully we will like it. I'll be able to spend a lot more time with you than if I was at the old school.

We are growing a lot of tomatoes that will be ready before you are ready and a pumpkin...a big one! that will be ready about the same time you are. Even though it would be fun to have a Halloween baby I think you better stay in for a few more days so you are nice and cooked before you come out.

I REALLY need to sign your dad and I up for birthing classes and I should be going to some exersise class but I'm lazy. I am up and really active though so I think we are ok. Look I'm going to go sign up for a class right now...just one moment
