Things have been going really well in the Mertz household! Kevin's little brother Cameron has moved into our basement "apartment" that has been officially named the Man Cave. It's pretty awesome. Here's just the living area.
In baby related news, the belly is definitely getting bigger, and with that, I'm now experiencing the back pain.
Here's my 28 weeks picture!
I also had trouble sleeping, which I'm pretty confident was in relation to the back pain I am having. But I got one of those awesome pregnancy body pillows and have been getting better sleep since then. I still wake up at least once in the night to hit the bathroom, but the quality of sleep I get has definitely improved! I found mine for a great price too...just $39.99 at Burlington Coat Factory! In case you don't know me very well, I like to find the best deals I can on things. And I'd been hunting around for these pillows, with the lowest price I'd seen on the full body pillow being about $50, so about $10 less at Burlington was a great deal! There were only two left, so I snatched up the other for a friend of mine because I knew she's also preggo and having the same back pains! She found out recently she was having a boy also, and since he's due in October, that means our little guys are destined to be BFFs. :-) Here's both of us mommies on our little boys' first "play date!" I'm sure this will be their most well behaved play date ever lol.
Aside from the back pain and lack of sleep, I've been feeling shortness of breath occasionally as well, which I've learned is due to the fact that Valentine is quickly running out of room (or WOMB. I'm very punny.) in there and is causing my diaphragm to not be able to breath as deeply normally. I also find that getting things done, like cleaning and laundry, is becoming much more difficult, because bending over is hard and wears me out pretty quickly. Any days off I have, I usually devote to trying to do a little bit of cleaning, or at least as much as I can. Although this morning, I decide I needed to update the blog. I've been posting about every 4 weeks-ish, so it was time for another!
I'll have more updates in 4 more weeks...when i'm at 32 weeks! WOW! It's coming up quickly! Toodles!
