Pregnancy - Week 28

Well, I'm seven months with only 2 more months to go. It can't come sooner. I'm back to being exhausted, uncomfortable and swollen. This pregnancy is definitely different from Kayla. I come home to wanting nothing but sleep. Unfortunately that is not an option since Kayla is a ball of energy. This time my legs and feet are swollen by the time I get home, to point where I don't want to stand. I can't get comfortable to save my life. The only position that I find comfortable is laying in bed with a pillow between my knees. I'm trying my best not to use the body pillow since the last time it took over the entire bed. I get mean acid reflux at all times of the day. It doesn't even have to be right after a meal. I have to carry around tums or gum at all times. It's almost like being nauseous again.

On the other hand, this pregnancy is just like Kayla. I have a lot of difficulty breathing, he feels like he is up in my ribs, and I have stopped having a lot of back pain.

I've been feeling the Braxton Hicks Contractions on a daily basis. They are not comfortable, but luckily they only come one or two at a time.

I am worried about going into labor this time. Last time I was induced so I'm not even sure what it really feels like. Plus, Mike works out in Marina del Rey and the last thing I want is for him to miss it due to traffic. I'm on my feet more often than the last time so I hope I won't go into labor really early, like during class.

We're down to the home stretch. Let the countdown begin. 9 weeks to go.

Tomboy just like her mother.

Its apparent that Mike and I have definitely influenced Kayla's interests.

Kayla likes the Dodgers (although I would rather she like the Angels), the Lakers, and the Kings (although I would rather she like the Ducks). She loves to watch baseball and hockey. She's warming up to basketball. AND she can hit a moving baseball. She is a toddler true to form though because although she loves going to watch the games, we can always count on her to want to leave sometime around the end of the first period or fifth inning. "Mommy I wanna go!" We can usually convince her to stay a little longer, but we'll here those four words every couple minutes. I guess we can just be thankful that she enjoys going to the games or else we would have to find a sitter every time we want to go to a game.

We decided to go to the Kings game on Valentine's Day and she had a great time. Its nice that she is starting to understand the games and what everything means. Although at the same time, not so nice since the game broke out in three fights on Saturday. At least we were able to explain the fights and she knows fights are only ok during hockey. I just hope she really understands.
