28 weeks

We are fixing to leave for Naples to celebrate, so I thought I better catch up before hand and post about the END OF THE SECOND TRIMESTER!  Wow, it's been great!  We got to visit home, get the baby room set up, unpack all the baby items. We again had our up's and downs.  I am learning that having another life growing in you is NO easy thing.  But the experience has been priceless.  So many precious memories.

So here is the Second Trimester wrap up.

Cravings: Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, anything sweet, & milk

Feelings: Lots of kicks and rolls!!  Getting harder to sleep comfortably, leg cramps, More energy than before, a tight belly (including an outtie!), some indigestion.

Funny Memories: Kevin thinking the crib was going to be an "easy assembly" and then it taking him until midnight!  Watching Kevin's face when he feels or sees a kick!  Our trip to Texas to visit the fam/friends. Unpacking all the cute clothes as we ooohh'ed and aahh'ed over them.

Dreams: None that stick out, sometimes they are odd anf vivid but none about babies or little Kai.

Weight gain: Well.... I definetly kicked it up a notch.  I went from only gaining around 2 lbs last trimester to putting on a total of 15 lbs in 2nd trimester so I am at 135 total.

When we get back from Naples we will put the finishing touches on the nursery so I will post pictures of that soon as well!

Although the baby is only the size of a cantaloupe, Momma is feeling like a stuffed turkey!  My belly is so hard and looking like a basketball!!!  haha

Baby is doing tons of kicks and flips now!  Kevin can really feel them now as well.  He put his head on my belly and felt a full on foot roll across this face!

We have also been working on the nursery!  I love love love the way it looks!  (I will post pictures of before an after once its done) We have the crib and most of the major items done, now its just little touches and paint that we need.  It's very peaceful, serene and nautical.   I know it will probably be the only time I get to pick the decor before its dinosaurs and spiderman themes, so it may seem simple to most people but it's everything I dreamed it would be.

With all the baby set up my back has been killing me at night!  I really don't know how everyone continues on later in the pregnancy like its no big deal!  I have gained 15 lbs and its seems to all be sitting on my back! Ouch. 
And on top of that leg cramps have started this week.  Several night I woke up with full on knots in my calves!!!  OOOUCH!  One night I even tried to get out of bed to walk it off and fell to the floor, it was so knotted up. 

I can't believe we are into June!  Feels like September is right around the corner.  We are going on a baby moon/ anniversary trip in two weeks so that will be great!!! Lots to do....

But I did get all my thanks you notes done!!!  whew!
