Saturday, March 17, 2012: 28 Weeks

As someone told me at work last week... I have 'popped' out!  LOL! 

I not only 'look' pregnant to strangers now, but I also 'feel' very pregnant.  This was a rough few weeks since my last update. 

I have been having some pretty serious lower back pain.  The dr. says that my SI joint (where your pelvis meets your tailbone) is being effected by the baby being so low in my abdomen.  I had to take 3 days off from work, but after really taking it easy, using ice packs and Tylenol, I am happy to report that I am feeling much better.  I also think the baby may have shifted a bit as I am now starting to feel kicking much higher than I was originally. 

Cory and I have now felt the baby on the outside a bunch!  We definitely have a future Tae-Kwon-Do athlete in our future.  Baby Cooper rarely stops moving!  Lately, he/she has moved a little less...perhaps living space is becoming limited as he/she continues to grow.
I had my glucose test last week. UGH!  I hate sweet drinks, so that was basically like torture for me!  I am sure that my sweet-toothed husband would have LOVED it! :)  I haven't heard any news regarding the glucose test, so I assume at this point that no news is good news!
We are all signed up to attend our 'Preparing for labor, delivery, and beyond' class this weekend.  While I am looking forward to the class, I am more excited about the fact that I get to spend an entire weekend with my husband. 
We both continue to feel incredibly blessed on this journey to parenthood.  Besides the back pain, I truly can't complain!  I am still sleeping fairly well and I continue to feel fairly comfortable too!  We both are in awe that in 12 short weeks we will be a 'mommy' and 'daddy'.  Yahoo!
