Week 28

I know, I am bending my knees and it looks awkward! I didn't have a choice, I kept cutting my head off and I had to leave to pick up Ashton from daycare. Needless to say, you get the point...I am pregnant and have a huge belly. I've already gotten, "Are you sure you aren't having twins?!" Really people...where is your filter for crying out loud! Keep in mind, the people who make these comments are men...without kids!



How far along? 28 weeks
Maternity clothes? Yes, I am wearing maternity pants daily with regular and maternity shirts
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: It's been okay, I am tossing and turning more these days. Ashton kicking me in the middle of the night is not helping.
Best moment this week: Feeling the babe move (those slow, you know it's an arm move).
Movement: Always...but I don't feel they are not as strong as they were with Ashton. I guess that explains why Ashton is 'all boy' as the daycare lady says.
Food cravings: Nothing really
Gender: Not sure. I feel exactly the same I did with Asthon. The only difference is that I don't have a Linea Nigra like I did with Asthon.
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? Innie
What I miss: Nothing. I am really trying to take in the pregnancy.
What I am looking forward to: Sesame street with Asthon today.
Weekly Wisdom: Try to enjoy each day
Milestones: Making it these 28 weeks:-)

Beach!

We decided to check out the beach this afternoon.

Teeth

No photo here, but I've been meaning to blog (since this is basically the baby book) that Ashton has all his teeth! The last two (upper second molars) decided to pop though last week. Yay!!!!

Sunday Funday!

This morning we headed down to our favorite playgroup at Barbers Point Elementary School. This is the same play group that we had our maternity photos taken with Ashton. Here are some fun photos from today.



Since we were not far, we decided to try out the Naval Air Museum at Barbers Point. Not every piece of equipment was available for viewing but Ashton had fun. It would have been nice to have someone tell us the history of each of the planes/helicopters. When we were leaving, we did find that out the first helicopter we viewed had been used in Vietnam, Desert Storm, carried President Clinton, and had been shot down at one point and had been rebuilt.

Happy 4th of July!

We spent the afternoon at Scholfield Barracks enjoying food, people watching, running around in circles and of course the fireworks. It did start to rain so we headed back to the truck to watch them. Good thing we did, we missed all the traffic. Ashton did fairly well with the fireworks. He was scared of the noise but amazed at the sight.

Cabana Beach Day

What better way to celebrate the 4th of July weekend than heading to the beach we love! Makaha Beach Cabanas - going back made me really miss living there! We had a fun day with Kate, Dave, Riis & Kristin. Riis is growing oh so fast! Ashton was proving that he is going to be a good big brother. He was gentle with Riis and they played together at the water table.

Water Play

Ashton loves to play with water (especially the hose) so we finally broke down got him a watertable with all the gift cards we had from Target (thanks Aunt Abbie). He loves it! Check out Ashton and Brooke, our neighbor, have a blast blowing bubbles and splashing one another. They were soaked!
