Baby Dickens #2--Month 7

Welcome to Month #7!

Just the other night I told Jeff that I didn't feel like this pregnancy is lasting as long as Bennett's did.  His response?  "Well, since you were almost 3 months pregnant when we found out, you've technically only known for 4 months!"  THAT definitely puts it in perspective!


My Halloween shirt!  I love it and will have to make sure it gets lots of wear!

27 weeks 5 days (close enough to the 28 week mark!)


Maternity belt note:  not sure if Riley is sitting differently than Bennett did or if I'm just hooking my belt differently due to the velcro issue I mentioned last month, but dang!  That belt is pressing on my belly more and making it more uncomfortable.  I'm going to have to look into this b/c I definitely need the support!

I officially started feeling bigger this month.  Tying my shoes, shaving my legs, bending to get laundry out of the dryer---yeah....they're harder now!  My legs are always feeling like I need to stretch them, but actually sitting and being able to do the stretching depends on the day!  Other than these minor things, I'm feeling great! 

Bennett still loves to tackle me if I'm lying down somewhere, and I think Riley's getting done with it!  B better watch out--Riley may take some revenge one day!

My doctor's appointments are now every other week and while it's annoying simply to go in, get weighed/measured, tell the dr. how my blood sugar readings are, it's always fun to hear Riley's heartbeat!  I really would love another ultrasound to check him out, but I'm fortunate that because we're both doing well I don't need one.  Count my blessings, right?  Definitely will!  :)

Although I forget to check my blood sugar half the time because I'm so busy, I'm doing well on the times when I do monitor it, so yeah! 


I love this pic that we took when we took B's 15 month/Christmas card pics: Bennett really is just pointing at my belly, but we'll just pretend he's pointing at his little brother! I like the other one of me too and am so glad to have a few more prego pics since I haven't taken as many this time around due to the sheer busy-ness that is life!  Nothing says "normal" like the pic of all of us--sums up life sometimes!
