I'm now in my third trimester!
Well, I am 28 weeks, 5 days today, and it should be less than 3 months now, and we will get to meet Kobe! It's very exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time.
Kobe seems to be getting bigger and bigger because I am getting bigger and bigger. For the first time, I got to feel him hiccuping today. It was so great because everyone keeps telling me about how their babies would hiccup all the time while they were in the womb, and until today, Kobe didn't hiccup at all, so it was cool to finally feel what it was like. He also has been moving around a lot more. One night I had went to bed earlier than Shad and when he came into bed a little bit later, he put his arm around me and he told me the next morning that Kobe kept kicking his arm and moving around, and every time he was about to fall asleep, Kobe would kick him again. Shad said, "It was so cool!" And I thought it was cool too because it was a time when he kind of got to spend time with Kobe without me. What good father/son bonding time. :)
This Saturday and Sunday we are taking our first birthing class at the hospital. Hopefully we will get lots of good information. As we are approaching the date of his birth, I am getting more nervous at the delivery, but Shad and I have been praying about it ever since I got pregnant and are trusting that God will be in total control over the whole process. I am focused on doing an all natural birth, no drugs, and I know it won't be easy, but I have done lots of research about it, and I have plenty of support to back me up. My mom had two of us kids all natural with hard 24-27 hour labors, my friends Sarah, Roxanne, Vanessa and several other people I know have done it natural, and so I know that it is completely possible. Plus, Sarah, my wonderful friend and sister in Christ, has agreed to act as a doula for Shad and I during the whole process, and I know that this will help immensely as well. I am so incredibly blessed to be surrounded with such support and encouragement.
This past week we were in Spokane for spring break, and we were blessed with a baby shower from our friends and family there. (Thank you so much to everyone who came and supported us! It was so good to see everyone!) It was really a great time, but a little overwhelming too. I will explain.... Though I don't think anyone really realized this, while I was opening my gifts I fell into a state of complete shock. See I have been to many baby showers before and oohed and awed at all the cute stuff, but midway through I realized that these gifts were not just for A baby, these gifts were for MY baby! And I thought, "I am REALLY going to have a baby!! Aghhh!" It was craziness! It's so weird what having a baby can do to a person!!
While we were in Spokane, my best friend Bethany took some fun preggo pics of me, and so I thought I would share some of them as well as some pics from the shower.

Sarah's awesome job making cupcakes with Kobe's name on them and star cookies to match his nursery! Thanks Sarah! :)
Well, until next time, God bless you all!
