28 weeks 4 days

I can't believe we're already almost at 29 weeks! Those last 2 trimesters FLEW by and I know this one will be no different. Sleeping is getting more and more difficult... not just because of my belly, but the baby LOVES to kick the bed. Actually, the baby loves to kick pretty much anything that pokes at or gets in the way of where he/she wants to be. We're already seeing a personality and I absolutely love it! I think this baby is going to give us a run for our money!

"Big sister" is getting in some practice with cuddling. She likes to come up and nuzzle my stomach and I think it's adorable!

Here is my belly at 26 weeks.

And at 27 weeks... I can officially no longer see my feet!

We had another ultrasound (at 27 weeks 6 days) to track baby's growth.The tech was getting a little frustrated because Baby is... let's say a "little stubborn" and kept moving to kick the probe. Of course, a trait that comes from dad. Haha. As far as growth goes, everything is great... Baby is RIGHT in the average zone! He/She right around 53% right across the board (Approximately 2lbs 9 oz). Let's just hope it stays that way! We got another 3D pic and with a little fat on those weeks, the baby looks so much like daddy. I have been so curious to know what features Skittle would inherit from us and I think most of them are from dad... and I'm completely fine with that! Also, I think I see dark hair on those eyebrows, but we'll see in a few, short months.

Here is the pic.

I made a side-by-side comparison so that you could see how much this looks like Dan when he was a baby.

And here is a 28 weeks picture. This was first thing in the morning, so you can see that I'm still carrying very low! (just excuse the tired, morning face)

I can't wait to meet this little baby! It makes me cry every time I think about what it took to get to this point and I remind myself every day not to take one second of this process for granted. I know so many people who are dying to be in my shoes (I was, not too long ago) and I am so thankful for every bit of my pregnancy.  Our baby is going to come into the world surrounded by so much love.
