Week 28

Today's appointment was for the 28 week check up. We got to hear Caleb's strong heartbeat of 149 bpm. He was moving and the nurse had to find his heartbeat again. The doctor said that all was progressing as it should. We go back in 3 more weeks. My blood pressure was it's normal slightly elevated self. My weight was up a little too much - probably from Paula Deen's Gooey Pumpkin Butter Cake! Wow is it good. The doctor seemed pleased with our progress. Steve and I are excited to see our 3/4D ultrasound tomorrow. I look forward to "reconfirming" Caleb is a boy. I had a dream last night that I could feel his ear through my stomach. The dream was so real, I woke up expecting to still feel his ear. Steve will post ultrasound pictures tomorrow.

I was very thankful this week did not start out like last week did. I misplaced my watch Sunday night and could not find it Monday morning. Those of you who know me well, know I really like wearing a watch! I then went on to work and when I reached the parking lot, I looked for my FMLA paperwork in the glove box. I *knew* I had placed it there a few weeks ago. When I opened the glove box and it was not there, that was all I could handle for the day. I went straight back home and stayed in bed all day. Funny thing was Steve found the paperwork on the outside of the fridge. I could not for anything remember how it got there - that really bothered me. The fact I had an off day and had to call out sick bothered me. When I told the doctor today what happened, he said I had a case of the Mommy Brain. I know I had let myself get too tired and that with Mommy Brain is a bad hormonal combination. Steve is the best husband ever. He was so patient and kind to me.
