7 months already!

When people ask how far along I am, and I respond with "7 months," a majority of people are in disbelief, including myself! It just sounds SO far along compared to how I feel/how I look, and it's hard to believe that we are only a few months away! Time has gone by pretty fast.

In the past few weeks, Nico has started moving A LOT more! I have started to notice movement every few hours. His kicks are stronger, and I can see my stomach twitching like a muscle spasm. David has been able to feel a few of the strong kicks, but they have been hard to catch! Just when I tell him to put his hand on my stomach, they seems to stop. Nico is a little sh*t already! He has had the hiccups a few times which are entertaining! I love feeling him move. I get excited every time.

Week 28 appointment went well: 

• I gained another 8 lbs over the last month (making the total gain 22 lbs so far)! Fatty!
• Heard a normal heartbeat of 140 bpm.
• Got my Rhogam shot. (Since my bloodtype is negative, I need the shot so my body doesn't build immunity against the baby's blood if his is positive).
• Got tested for gestational diabetes, which was negative.
• Gotta go on iron supplements because some of my bloodwork is low.
• Dr. Shimer checked the cervix, measured my belly, and it's all looking good. 

Now I have doctor's appointments every 2 weeks. I was a little bummed to hear that we do not get any more ultrasounds unless medically necessary. We may not see the little guy again until the big day!

Overall, I have been feeling well. Nothing seems out of the ordinary- Continued physical aches and pains, a little more tired as the week ends, and hormonal/moody and snapping at David on occasion. (what else is new with that though?!)

On a more fun note, we bought a glider! I found it on Craigslist for a very affordable price. It rocks and swivels, and is very comfortable! It's hard to tell in the picture, but there are small blue checkered lines throughout the fabric.

We are having the nursery painted on Tuesday! We changed our minds on the color and are going with red and blue now instead of neutral. It's risky, but we think it will be fun! We are so excited! Cindy and Dave are also giving us the gift of having our master bedroom painted, and our master bathroom/downstairs bathroom painted AND textured. It will all look awesome, and we are spoiled!
