28 Weeks

• I was able to get over my sinus infection and I would like to give full credit to my Breathe oil :) Maybe a week after my first symptom and my urine test showed I probably had an infection. Fortunately, I was already getting blood work done that day so LaNette checked for an infection and everything came up great!
• Mom's birthday is coming up and we celebrated her birthday on sunday. it was her idea that instead of buying her gifts, we would all buy gifts for Dan Jr. I thought it was strange, but also cute. She also decided that I would open the gifts that she brought over for Dan Jr and she would open the ones that Dan and I bought her. It was awkward at first, but it ended up being pretty cool.
• It was actually pretty stressful thinking of something to buy. I thought a good compromise would be to buy a baby item but something that would be just for "grandma's house". I did a fair about of research and asking around and we ended up buying a changing table and changing pad/cover (both used) and then bought two storage bins for the table (new) and changing pad waterproof pads. 
  
• And mom and dad bought Dan Jr a radio flyer bike, a few cute shirts, a memory book, and a piggy bank. 
  
• We started rearranging the dressers between the rooms. It's a pretty small/easy step (and there's a long way to go) but it kind of seems like a big deal - another visual change.

Changes

• My inner thighs are killing me!! It feels like i've been using the thigh-master for days on end. I had originally thought it was from my ballet squats i need to do to reach the ground. however, i've been paying attention to that and I really don't do it that much and I finally looked it up and it seems to be related to the stretching of my pelvic bone. It's been going on for a little bit but only recently has it really become a problem. It's very hard to get up and start walking from my desk (or any sitting position). The pain lessons but doesn't go away. And per google, it will stay trough the birth.
• A number of people tell me that I should document my belly. Well, I haven't been very good at it, but I've been taking occasional photos and have profession photos being take soon. However, even though this will document the size/growing of my belly, it doesn't document by belly button! i was worried that it would pop out..and it hasn't but it still looks pretty strange (it got all flat and squishy and looks like it's going to implode). ** I took a picture of it, but it really doesn't prove my point.
