28 Week Bump-date and A Little Thanksgiving

Here we are...it has already been another four weeks.  I can't believe that there are 12 weeks (give or take) until we meet this little guy!  The belly is continuing to grow and grow...although I am going to place part of the blame on the AmAzInG feast we had yesterday!

As far as the pregnancy goes...

I have gained either 19 or 12 pounds so far...the difference is if you take into consideration the 7 pounds I lost at the beginning of my pregnancy (which I like to count, because that was my "ideal" weight).  I didn't write down any of this information when I was preganant with Miley, so I can't really compare where I was at this time with her.  I am hoping to not put on any more than 10 more pounds, but we will see if that works out or not.  :)

I am starting to have a harder time sleeping...funny thing is, I am not waking up as frequently to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but now I am just having a hard time finding a comfortable postion to sleep in.  I move from side to side to side to side for probably a good hour until I can finally fall asleep.  Not sure if this drives me or Cameron more crazy.

I have heart burn at night All. The. Time.  This happened with Miley too, and she was born with a full head of dark hair (on par with the old wive's tale).  It will be interesting to see if our little man is born with as much hair-if so, he may be getting his first haircut shortly after birth!  :)  Miley still hasn't had her first haircut by the way...  :)

I am also carrying this baby lower than I carried Miley.  This has been causing more lower back pain, and more pain in my lower abdomen.  I have the feeling of carrying around a bowling ball, where with Miley, she hung out more up around my lungs, and I didn't really get the "bowling ball" feeling until she dropped. 

As far as Thanksgiving, we spent our 4th Thanksgiving with Cameron's brother and his family, and one of my sister-in-laws brothers as well.  It was a relaxing day spent watching football, playing games, and of course, eating good food.  We let Miley skip her nap for the day, and she was running around having a ball with all of her older cousins.  We hardly heard a peep from her all day!  As always, I had good intentions of taking a bunch of pictures, but I only got a few of Miley getting horsey rides from her cousin, Nathan. 

We went out for a bit today to check out the Black Friday deals, and we only came away with 3 things.  This is a big difference for us from the past couple years where we have bought some BIG ticket items, and spend the majority of the day shopping!  We may hit up a couple more places later, but other than that we are just going to enjoy the fact that Cameron has the day off work (General Mills gives the day after Thanksgiving off as well...when he was at Target, it was a normal work day!), and we are going to go see Harry Potter 7 tonight!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and enjoyed spending time with your loved ones!
