28 Weeks...I'm Back!

Well, I took a break from blogging since I didn't ever post pictures and we moved. Not sure why I'm taking it up again (maybe because I couldn't find a summer job) because now I don't have the camera to take belly shots. But maybe I can use the parentals. :) 

Anywho, it's been 2 months about since I've written and lots has changed. Bryce and I are living apart right now which has been tough. We have been really blessed though since I'm not working I have a lot of freedom to go see Bryce whenever....and stay as long as I want. I guess I do have something set up with a temp agency, but nothing has really worked out with my schedule so far. I'm hoping after our Oregon trip next week that I will be able to work a little bit. I'm starting to feel guilty for not contributing anything. But anywho, I can't wait to see Bryce again. We're never doing this again...that's for sure. This last time was especially hard to leave. I'll blame the hormones for all the crying. haha! 

The baby is 28 weeks now and weighs about 2 1/4 pounds and is almost 15 inches long! Today also marks the beginning of my third trimester and I have my glucose test today. I'm kind of nervous about that one actually, they said to avoid sugars and carbs...and last night without thinking about it really, I loaded up on the carbs. Whoops. I hope I don't have to take it again, but I guess if I do, I just hope that I pass in the end. :) I think I should because my weight gain hasn't been that bad and I eat pretty ok. 

How far along? 28
