28 Weeks- Friday (4/22/11)

Baby McLaughlin is still moving around like crazy!!  My mom and dad threw a baby shower for me on Saturday, it was everything Mark and I could  have asked for and more! We are so loved by so many people and Baby McLaughlin continues to be spoiled of course and doesn't even know it yet!  We are moving in a month and can't wait to set up the baby room and get everything organized because right now our apartment looks like a storage unit because we have no storage area to put anything!  Here's a couple pictures from the shower.

27 Weeks (Friday 4-15-11)

I'm now 27 weeks and can not believe that we are only 13 weeks away from having our baby!!  I've been feeling pretty good still, though my energy is starting to diminish slowly again.  My lower back is also starting to bother me from time to time but nothing unbearable at this point, still pretty comfortable.  Mark and I have great news we are going to be moving to Dracut as of memorial day weekend (though I will not be doing much of the moving of course) :-)  We are going to be renting a 2 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath townhome!  Soon enough we will be setting up a nursery for Baby McLaughlin! He is kicking as strong as ever most days and everything seems to be going well. 

25 Weeks (Friday- April 1, 2011)

I just realized that it had been a while since my last update!!  I can't believe it, only 15 more weeks until Baby McLaughlin is here!!  Things are going so well I really can't complain right now.  I feel great for the most part, there is a little fatigue coming back and lower back pain but nothing too bad yet!  Mark finally felt the baby move a few weeks ago!  He's very active throughout the day and though it is the weirdest feeling ever, it's also the  most amazing!  Some mornings I lay in bed and just watch my belly move and try to soak up every minute of this pregnancy.  I do prenatal yoga once a week and try to get in cardio a couple days a week while I still can.  Some mornings I wake up and can't believe how much bigger my belly has gotten overnight.  It really does seem to happen overnight these days!  Our next doctors appointment is in a week and hopefully we will  have a couple more ultrasounds coming up!  I'll be sure to keep you all updated!
