7 months down, 3 to go!

Today I am 28 weeks. I can't believe it! Some people say I don't look very big, but I sure feel like it! I officially have heart burn on a daily basis now. I have never had heart burn before this pregnancy. I couldn't figure out what it was at first, now Tums are my friend! Today I had an ultrasound with a friend of mine who is training at A Woman's Place - a ministry that offers free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds. It was fun to see her learn the technique of ultrasound - it's harder than it looks! It was great to see the little guy again! He appears to be growing and healthy - his measurements were right on track (although his feet look awfully big!). His legs are still crossed and his feet are now folded up near his head. He is very active - kicking my bladder is his favorite and he uses my placenta as a punching bag! I have an appointment at my OB this coming Thursday. I will be doing the glucose test - checking for diabetes ( a routine test). So far I have been a very healthy and "normal" pregnancy. I hope to get the same report on Thursday.
I got a lot done over Thanksgiving break, but not quite enough. I need like a month off ! Ha,ha - I wish! So much to do! Now, I just want to get a Christmas tree and decorations up. It is a busy time of year at school. The kids are antsy because of the holidays and yet there is so much curriculum to be covered. Standardized testing begins in February! Weather has been beautiful here in Tampa , as it typically is this time of year. It is actually going to get "cold" tomorrow morning. Yes, we have to turn our heaters on every once in a while, but not for too long. It will warm up again soon. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I'll post more pictures soon! Take care and please keep us in your prayers!

Hi Bri!
It's good to get an update. Sounds like you're pretty busy right now but hopefully when 'Baby Collins' gets here you'll be able to slow down a little and just enjoy being his mommy. I know you'll be a GOOD one. Got your card...thanks! Wish you'd send a little of that warm weather this way...it got down to 13 last night! Brrrr! Madison & Jazzer even got to stay in. Take care and tell Daddy Collins we said hi!
Love, Aunt Pam
