7 Months. . .

Can you believe it!?! 7 months this week! The What to Expect book says that I was actually 7 months last week (at week 27) but officially I'm 28 weeks this week! Last week I sent Meechy a text and let her know that I'm officially under 100 days pregnant! That's bananas!!
With these new days, weeks, months. . .comes the 3rd trimester! That's right people. Kayla is officially viable. For you non preggo people or non health care peeps that means that her chances for survival in the event that she decides to grace us with her presence earlier than expected go up more and more each day. Now for some that doesn't seem like a big deal but for me and my doctor that's when all the rules change!
Last Monday we had our monthly check up. And I was in and out of the my OB's office in 20 minutes!!!! That was a miracle. That's NEVER happened before. When Dr. Bessent was walking out of the room to leave I had to confirm that that was it. I don't think I've been in her office for less than an hour since we've met. But we did it. Kayla even bumped her "heartbeat listening" thingy.
Speaking of bumping. Kayla is having her own little party in my uterus these days. Its so cute. And it's getting stronger day by day too. She's been exploring the upper portion of my uterus lately so thankfully I've slept through the ENTIRE night for the past 2 nights!!!!!!!!! Talk about excited. I woke up Friday morning trying to figure out if it was a dream. But this morning it happened again.
Kayla's daddy bought her and him a HUGE live Christmas tree today. He was so excited and according to him so was she. We're having Thanksgiving dinner at our house this week. So today we were hustling and bustling all around to make sure that we are prepared. Then we decided to go see the movie Precious. Talk about emotional. That movie was intense. I can't imagine having to go through that or knowing someone who has had/has to go through that. The mother was a monster and Precious was unfortunately forced to go through that for 16 years. I wasn't sure I wanted to see it. But now it makes me want to take care of baby girl the best we can even more.
