28 Weeks, 2 days pregnant...

Photobucket

Today I had my monthly check up...had to drink that syrup they make you drink to test you for being diabetic. Tasted like flat pop and gave me heart burn (but then again what doesn't give me heart burn these days!). Baby seemed to enjoy the sugar filled drink, started dancing and kept dancing for quite some time. Babies heart rate was still in the 140's, so still giving no clues as to what we are having! Still feeling pretty well, other then the normal "aches and pains" that come along with heading into the 3rd trimester. I have noticed that the fatigue has returned, similar to the 1st trimester.
I had a great Birthday with family and friends, and managed to score a new camera! Just in time for Baby Paddock!

July 3rd, 2008 - Baby Kaitlyn arrived!

Gina's Birth 07/03/2008

Last week I was able to witness my girlfriend, Gina's natural waterbirth at the Birthing Inn, which is what I am shooting for. We also share the same midwife, so it was nice to see her in action and gives me such comfort knowing I am in her care. It was such an awsome experience, and helps me get into the mental mind set I need for the near future!!! Gina did awsome, giving birth just before the 4th to beautiful baby Kaitlyn...weighing in at a tiny 6 pounds, 15oz. Too bad you can't see her in this picture...she is so cute! I can only hope that I am blessed with a tiny one, but something tells me I won't be so lucky!

Baby Paddock seems to be moving more (if that is possible) these days. Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night, I swear it feels like baby is tap dancing in there!
