28 Weeks and a Countdown

On Sunday I was 28 weeks.  The baby is now the size of a head of cabbage, according to the app I have on my phone.  

 

We spent some of the day packing.  I was feeling really lazy, but in the afternoon and evening I suddenly had a rush of energy and motivation, so I packed up some of our clothes, and everything in the closet by the front door.  It was mostly full of winter stuff, still, coats, hats, scarves, and gloves.  The kids stole them from the piles I was making and made up a weird, random game/skit Paige called "Cats Lost In The Atlantic".  Haha!  Such weird ones.  

 

Then one cat passed out.

 

 There's been more Lego creating around here too.  Cason suddenly got inspired and started making his favorite heroes.  They're really cute, he puts a lot of thought into the colors and includes details, like Captain America's shield.

From left to right, he made Iron Man, Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, and Spider-Man.

Neely made her first "racecar", which I find really impressive.  Jess loves the wheel placement.  It is pretty cute.

Paige has been asking for a baby doll carrier for a couple of weeks.  I looked up tutorials, but got overwhelmed, and kept putting it off.  Then we went to this baby store in town and they sold them for 30 dollars a piece.  She wanted to use her own money to buy one, but she's also been saving for an American Girl doll, so I felt bad and decided to just try making one.  I just took it one step at a time so the full set of instructions wouldn't overwhelm me.  It ended up going fine. Over the next couple of hours she kept running up to hug me randomly, and thank me for making it. 

 I figured Neely would want one, so I made one for her too.  She was really happy, and said "For ME?!"  But lost interest in hers pretty quickly. 

I asked if Cason wanted one, and he said "No thanks."  Ha.  Speaking of Cason, I had my last appointment here today, and he looked handsome for it.   

 We did the glucose test, and the usual stuff, like listening to the heart and all.  The kids play with toys on the ground and don't even look up for it anymore.  The first few times they were so excited to hear it, now it's old news.  Paige only got excited because she got to help take my blood pressure and turn on the doppler.  Ha.

I, for one, still love to hear the heart.  It's not AS exciting as it used to be, since now he regularly makes it known that he's in there and real.  Haha.  We think this boy kicks and moves the craziest of all our babies.  It took longer to feel him, because I have an anterior placenta, but once we started feeling him we REALLY started feeling him.  He squirms and rolls and kicks and punches.  I feel like he's going to kick his way out sometimes. 

Now then, we move in 11 days!  The countdown begins!
