I think I had some colostrum come out

Here I am getting fatter - week 28 - seems like she sits kinda low:


He was cute in his swing, but he likes to lean forward:


Eli camme to my shower - here he is with aunt Borb:



The weeks are flying by right now. I have read up to week 30 in my book (mostly to see how big she is and to see hw close my baby pouch is to my ribs....This week I discovered that it was definately her feet under my ribs...it kinda tickles right now, but I have a feeling that won't be the case later on. I've found out that this is a good thing as she is standing on her head then (hypnobirthing class taught me how to turn her that way and keep her that way later on). I also learned that crappy posture can lead to posterior babies (not fun and leads to long non-progressing labors with mechanical failures (as I put it), which we are trying to avoid. When Clint gets home, we can all start practicing the relaxing stuff as a family. So far it's been pretty effective for me (and I think for her too - she gets all happy and active). I think working where I do now has given me insight to definately know what I want, and to gain knowledge of what is best for babies and families...luckily I'm not the only one there that has more holistic views...one of the nurses I work with used to be a Bradley instructor, and another one left her job in Green Bay because their C-Section rate was so high, and thought it seemed as though none of her co-workers really knew what to do with a laboring patient (who didn't want interventions). I still get nervous sometimes as I think I have come to know a lot of what-ifs, but at the same time, I've realized that a lot of these are from intervening when it's not necessary. At this point, I'm excited for that day when she decides to come and meet us. As much as I knew I'd like the pregnancy thing, I'm so much more excited for what comes next (Oscar and Chandler are too I'm sure - they just don't know it yet).

Also this week I had my Ogi/Nigh family shower at my parent's house. It was really fun to see everyone since I haven't gotten to go to any Nigh parties in a really long time, and Ogi get-togethers haven't been as frequent as they once were. It was great having Abbie and Annah help me open presents too (fun for them, and then everyone doesn't have to look at me the whole time). Eli and Isla also stole some spotlight too which I was thankful for:)

Furthermore, this week I have come to the realization that Oscar doesn't sniggle so close to me in the morning because he loves me, it is a tactic that ensures that he knows the second I move or get up, so he can run out and demand his breakfast....I only give him intelligence props where it comes to finding effectice ways to get food....
