Baby Update {Weeks 26–28}

Today I am 28 weeks pregnant!

HELLO Third Trimester…
Harper was born at 37 weeks,
so according to the past, we have about 9 weeks to go until “D Day!”
(holy moly… I am totally freaking out…)

I am pretty sure my belly grows by the minute,
yes BY THE MINUTE.
It is becoming very difficult for me to lift Cliff. 
Here are some belly pictures of the past few weeks:

{25 weeks 4 days}

{26 weeks 5 days}

{27 weeks 5 days}

This past week,
I had an ultrasound!

It started out like this with her hand over her face and all I could think was
“Typical Hollis!”

{27 weeks 3 days}

We were able to see her cute little feet!

{27 weeks 3 days}

Then it happened!
DeeDee (the BEST Ultrasound Tech EVER) captured this picture and I can’t stop looking at it!
How cute is that?!

{27 weeks 3 days}

Then she resumed her “typical Hollis” behavior and put her foot over her mouth and nose!

 
{27 weeks 3 days}

Hollis is now breach… and we are hoping that she will flip back around soon!
This makes me SOOO nervous because Cliff and Harper both stayed head down the entire pregnancy and the thought of a C-Section terrifies me…

I have to share with you a little story that I think if hilarious.  
It’s true and it has to do with the Hubs:

Earlier this week Ross walked into the den and plopped into the chair,
complaining about his “awful heartburn.”
He kept saying “I have NEVER had HEART-burn before… this is so weird… and it hurts!”

I replied “welcome to my world… go drink some milk!” 
(For about 6 weeks now my heartburn/reflux has been SO bad that my throat hurts and my ears burn…) 
I didn’t really think much of it until the next night when Ross
came hobbling into the den.
I asked him “What happened?! Did you hurt your ankle or something?!”
He said “No… I think there is something wrong with my hip joint. Every time I take a step I have this deep, stabbing pain that shoots from my hip down the back of my left leg… I don’t know WHAT is going on…”
Then it all clicked and I started laughing… and laughing… and laughing until I was in full blown tears!
Ross is having SYMPATHY PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS!

Ever since Hollis turned head up a few weeks ago,
she has been pressing on my sciatic nerve causing a stabbing pain that runs from MY left hip down my leg.

He did not do this with Cliff or Harper and all of the sudden with baby #3 he is feeling what I am feeling?!
So STRANGE, but hilarious!
(I am secretly LOVING this)

Let me add that Ross is not one to complain when he is not feeling well.
I told him to take it easy because we don’t want him going into labor too early!
Ha!

Oh yea, and he swears his belly is bigger too!
(Guess we will both be losing baby weight after Hollis arrives)

Has your hubby ever experienced pregnancy symptoms?!
If so, PLEASE share!
I think this is so funny!

Most importantly, Hollis appears to be healthy and happy!
I go back next week for another ultrasound to check her growth and make sure everything is still looking good!

We are so thankful!
