A Baby on the way.....

....and her name is Hannah Elizabeth. Hannah happened to be second on my list of favorite names. Imagine my suprise when Dad told me it was his favorite name as well. Good thing Lou liked it too! So I'm due on January 29th and feel like I couldn't possibly grow any bigger. I'm barely fitting into most of my maternity clothes now. I remember telling my fmaily two months ago that I couldn't figure out how some people packed on so much weight when they were pregnant. I had no appetite and at five months had only put on 5 pounds. Well didn't I just junx myself?!?!?! I'm huge and uncomfortable already and I still have a while to go yet. Today is 28 weeks. The baby has been kicking up a storm. Usually she give me several boots to the bladder throughout the day. How kind of her! I like to feel the movment at night when I'm relaxing on the couch....but during the day it's nothing but uncomfortable. She seems to turn and move around alot when I'm walking which makes it tough to walk at all. I'm finding that I get short of breath a lot lately too. So much for bending down to wrap up horsey legs or put on horsey boots. My father-in-law says "welcome to my world....I couldn't do it when I was real fat so I'm working on losing weight now...." I know he feels sympathetic but my in-laws love to get a shot in now and then.

My next appointment with the doctor is on the 13th of this month. I'm not sure what this visit will entail. I'm hoping for an ultrasound. Haven't had one since they sexed the baby at 5 months.

So the room is painted and the boarder is up....thank you to my girls for the help! Her name is hanging on the wall and the closet has a new organizer in it. The carpets were cleaned yesterday. Now it's time to fill the room with furniture. *sigh* More $$$ !!

My shower is this month on the 17th. I'm looking forward to seeing all my friends fomr out of town and other family members. They are going to be supprised to see little Jen being rather large!

Ahhhh......whoever said preganacy is beautiful was lying through their teeth! I know it will be so very worth it in the end but my goodness!
