28 weeks

Only 12 weeks go to people! Although this pregnancy is flying by, it still feels like it will be a long time before we meet little Cox. I am constantly feeling her move now. Last night I just kept looking at my stomach because it was moving around. I love feeling her move in two or three different places at the same time now. She keeps poking me with something round on my right side and I think it may be her elbow. I can't decide what it is!:)
Even though Jeremiah and I have set up the nursery, I still feel a little anxious about baby stuff. We don't have anything besides her crib and dresser. I am fortunate to have great friends and family who are throwing us a few showers in February. Hopefully, we will get most of the stuff we need at those showers. It's just kind of overwhelming to think about all the stuff we need to take care of our little one.
Last week Jeremiah and I went to see our doctor. I had to get my 28 week blood tests done and everything came back normal. I was kind of getting annoyed because I hadn't been measured before we went to our appointment. Finally, they measured me for the first time. The doctor said everything looks great and I have gained the perfect amount of weight. Although, I feel like I have gained a ton of weight!:) Also, I had to get a shot because I have RH- blood. I'll probably have to get one after I deliver too.
Here are some pics of me at 28 weeks.

27 weeks

Over Christmas Break, I did alot of relaxing and hanging out with friends. It was nice to just chill out and not have to worry about school stuff. Jeremiah and I reorganized a few rooms in our house. Now, all of the things we wanted to get done before little Cox arrives are finished. Therefore, I wasn't too upset when I had to go back to school last week. Before break, one of my students said, "Mrs. Cox. You don't really look that pregnant." When I saw her after break she said, "Okay, now you look pregnant Mrs. Cox!" It was pretty cute!
This time of year is always stressful for me. After Christmas Break it is ISAT crunch time. If you are a teacher, you understand my stress. If not, it probably sounds silly to you that I am so stressed about the ISAT tests. Usually, I find myself being crabby to my class because I am so stressed. This year, I hope things will be different. Last week, I started to get upset with my class. Then I felt baby Cox kick me and I just smiled. I realize there are more important things to worry about then ISAT tests. So, I am just focusing on this little miracle inside of me instead. It's so hard to get upset or frustrated when I feel her moving in me.

Happy New Year!

Jeremiah and I had fun on New Year's Eve with some of our friends. We went out to dinner at The Great Impasta and then over to Celina and Jon's house. Since so many of our friends are pregnant or have kids, we rang in the New Year a little early. Then Jeremiah and I came home and watched the countdown. Here are some pictures of us on New Year's Eve. I believe I was almost 27 weeks in these pics.
