28-29 Weeks

Baby Charlotte has been on the move lately! She has been moving around so much. I first saw her kick through my belly on October 26th, but not since then, until yesterday. I was on the couch, and she was kicking me so much that I lifted my shirt to take a peek. I could see her movements! I told Barry to look, and he saw them, too! It's very strange. She's moving around in there all day and in lots of different spots.

Here is a picture of my belly last week at 28 weeks. I'm now 29 weeks and two days into week 30. We're so excited to have our shower tomorrow at Brandi's house!

Shower in Mobile

My sisters Tracy & Amber and my stepmom Susan threw me a baby shower back home in Mobile on October 27th.

Here's a shot of Susan measuring my belly in the ubiquitous ribbon around the belly game:

My First Blog Entry

So, a friend of mine sent me her blog of her adorable twin girls, and I just loved it so much, I had to start one of my own! I already have a website set up to share my maternity journey with friends and family, but her blog was so much nicer than my website. So from now on, I'm going to post updates here instead.

I'm 28 weeks pregnant right now, and we are getting into the final countdown for our little Charlotte Esther, who is expected to arrive around January 26, 2008. We start our childbirth classes tonight at Rush Copley, and attend every Thursday this month (except for Thanksgiving, of course). I'm excited to get started and to meet our classmates!

Last night was Halloween (I claim it was Charlotte's first, but Barry says that'll be next year).
