28 Weeks

Well, last Saturday I woke up in the middle of the night with a massive leg cramp in my right leg. I woke up the next morning and it was so tender. Then, Sunday night, my left leg decided to cramp up really bad. Same thing, very tender and sore the next morning. I've been able to save my toes a few times from cramping up lately, but I don't know for sure if the Tums are helping with this or not. I'm sure they're helping my body with the rest of the Calcium it needs though.

Aubrey was quite active for a few days and then we went to Lake Mead and she was very quiet for 2 1/2 days. I was starting to get a

little worried when I wasn't feeling anything, but then I could feel her and I relax. I can tell she's getting bigger in there, some of her kicks now are getting harder and I can actually feel her body move inside.

I've started to have nasal congestion again and I've been short of breath more lately, like I'm running out of room in there! I notice that when I sit down to eat, my rib cage feels so uncomfortable and full, like it can't expand anymore! I guess my ribs might be expanding to make room, but it's not that fun. I guess I'm starting to get the 3rd Trimester aches and pains! I had it so smooth until recently. When I sleep at night, I use the pillow between the legs, but my muscles around my hips end up so sore it hurts really bad the next morning.

On a funny note, my belly button hasn't quite become an outie yet, but it's getting really close to being even. It's so soft and there's not much left of the top lip. You can't even put a finger in there. Austin like to play with my belly button and laugh when he makes it look like an outie, it's so different looking.

Though all this, I can't wait to see what she looks like when she arrives! I'm getting really excited and nervous, but more excited! I want to see Aubrey in Austin's arms, he's going to be a great Dad!
