28 Weeks (February 2nd – 8th)

I’m about 15 inches tall. I’m beginning to regulate my temperature and blood production.

Hello third trimester! The pregnancy has been smooth sailing so far. However, I am starting to feel tired again like I was in the first trimester. My body aches and I have a lot of cramping/stretching in my abdomen area (I wonder why-haha). It is getting harder to move around and my bones are constantly cracking and popping from all the changes! I can see Lydia moving around from the outside now!

I decided that I am going to try and breastfeed the six weeks that I am off from work. However, we didn’t want to spend a ton of money on a breast pump if it is only going to be used for a short amount of time. We had some friends who recently had triplets and they had an extra Medela pump (the Cadillac of breast pumps). They gave us their extra one to borrow, along with all the extra supplies that they had. Thank you Kyle & Kim!

The nursery is completely cleared out, but we haven’t started on it yet. We plan to clean and shine up the wood floors in there this weekend and painting will begin in the next couple of weeks while Grandma & Grandpa Spencer are down to visit. Hopefully, by March the painting will be done, the crib/changing table combo will be assembled, and the mini chandelier will be installed. From there, it will just be a matter of putting everything where it belongs and finishing the rest of the decorating. I can’t wait until everything comes together!
