28 weeks

Ok, so I am technically 28.5, but who is counting? oh wait, I am very much counting. Counting the days, the weeks and the months til baby girl gets here. Counting the number of times she kicks in an hour. And my least favorite development, counting contractions to make sure I do not end up in Labor and Delivery again. I do not think my body likes being pregnant. Especially not a 2nd time. I have all kinds of dumb things
happen. I look fine from the outside, in fact from the outside I barely look big enough to be as pregnant as I am. But my body get beaten up in all sorts of other fun ways. And yes, we have picked a name, and no we will not tell anyone. Not even our son knows. I feel like 12 weeks is way too long in some ways. And in other ways I am completely freaking out that there is not enough time to get done everything I want/need to get done. I have a constant list running through my head of all the things that need to be accomplished. I also have a list of the Saturdays I have left. It is getting smaller as the baby gets bigger. ok, Picture time.
