week 28 - trimester THREE...

Well, well here we are my third trimester, the last stretch....really.  The end seems so much closer now that I am in my third trimester.  Everything is still going smoothly with no scary business and I think I finally found a sleeping position that is working!!  I have been having pretty weird dreams, like last night I had to be induced at 28 weeks and the way they were going to induce me was to give me a shot with a GIANT needle in my belly.  I was so scared, but they let Jack (our dog) be in there with us.  I never actually got the shot in the dream, it was more centered around how much the shot was going to hurt and how much I didn't want to get the shot.  Ha, weird pregnancy dreams.  

Your baby is equal in weight to a Chinese cabbage -- about 2 1/4 pounds. (Length: almost 15 inches, from head to heel.)

baby center:

By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world

How far along? 28 weeks

Baby shower...

So, I have been giving baby showers some thought lately.  I have some idea's I really want to do and some I think I want to do.  One that I am kinda bouncing around is having a coed baby shower.  So my husband, his friends and my dad can come.  I think my husband would really love being apart of the celebration, after all both of us are having this baby.  I know its traditional to have only ladies attend a baby shower but I really think it would be awesome to have Dan there with me.  

What do you all think about that?

Vintage baby clothes are sooo cute

The only time I wish I knew what I was having is when I look at super cute baby clothes.  

Arn't these all just soo stinkin' cute...

I love love love vintage embroidery and crewel...

...and my favorite pieces I have ever seen (pictures of) I have yet been able to find and make them mine.  I am sure once you see the pictures you will recognize them and you probably would love to find them too.  

I search everyday for these babies... Someday they WILL be MINE!!!!!

At church this Sunday Janet took a picture of three (out of six) of us pregnant ladies.  Enjoy and please ignore the fact that I look like a giant, I was even slouching in this picture!
