Us again, because we are so dang good looking. And yes, Matt didn't shave. He woke up 2 seconds before we had to leave, the little turkey. Luckily he blends in really well with my brother's beard and my dad's mustache:)
The Fam- minus Devin, who will be photo shopped in.Baby Sunday: 28 weeks
Belly Shot: I feel like my stomach has exploded the last couple of weeksObsessions/ Rampages: I'm in my third trimester! I can't believe it! It is now time to buckle down and buy more baby stuff. So many things have happened this week that I had to write them down so I didn't forget. #1 obsession- my new alien belly. Literally. I can see the baby moving sometimes and my stomach will ripple and move/jiggle. Awesome! Matt finally caught him in action yesterday and was very proud. #2 obsession- I can feel when he has the hiccups. I was sitting on the couch at Reece's and this soft but steady beat was going on in my stomach that I haven't felt before so I asked Shana what it was and sure enough it was the hiccups. I've noticed he gets them mostly when I drink carbonation or eat spicier foods and they only last for about a minute or so. Move over Matt there's a new boy that has stolen my heart!
#3 obsession- I don't like to share my food. I'm very possessive over it. I feel like a 2 year old, "It's mine, don't touch it!" But that usually only happens when I'm starving and I turn into a banshee. Rampage: Let it be documented that I peed my pants involuntarily- in public, in the airport. I was headed to the bathroom when I had to sneeze, so I sneezed, and a gush of pee came out. GROSS! I zipped on into the bathroom to assess the damages. Lets just say that it was enough that luckily I was wearing black bottoms so you couldn't really tell, and bless the man that had to sit next to me on the airplane ride home. I probably smelled like a dirty cat. I texted Matt and he just laughed and texted back, "Didn't you know urine is the new Chanel?" Funny, very funny.
Elations/Worries: Elated about all the constant poking and prodding that the babe is doing. It is very enjoyable. Worries- Sometimes I forget I'm pregnant and then I remember and I panic. I think, "What the heck am I doing! This is a life I am going to be responsible for, I can't do this." That lasts for about a minute and I have the say a prayer in my heart and I am always comforted. Thank goodness for prayer. I think Satan wants my to feel inadequate but I'll show him! Also, my tailbone is very tender. So sitting for very long like a normal person is out of the question. Today at church we sat in a pew and I had 2 hymn books propped up under one side of my bum so I was leaning over and putting pressure on my side instead of on my tailbone. I would change sides after every speaker. It was actually Matt's idea and worked out very well. I can tell the baby's growth is picking up steam due to the round ligament pain I get everyday. Elation- I can't wait to meet him!
Aversions/Cravings: Last time I updated I said I wanted vegetables all the time. Not this time. Yesterday all I wanted was a big, fat, juicy burger. I was like "I'll eat some fruit and then see how I feel." An hour later I still wanted one! So I indulged myself and got a freaking BigMac at the beloved Golden Arches(aka McDonalds). I swear it was like 7 minutes in Heaven. That's about all, I eat like a pig. :)

What a week you've had! Your entire family looks fantastic, so good to see all of you! And Shana, she looks great for just having a beautiful baby girl! Does she have a blog? I love your baby bump, it's so fun being pregnant! In my opinion, the best time being pregnant is in the last trimester because you can feel everything, love it!
Meg, I was totally like that with Saydee... and she stil eats CONSTANTLY! She'll wake up in the middle of the night and yell, "MEEAAAAT!" Weird, I know. But some kids just never get full. Sounds like you're doing great and you look wonderful!
