28 Weeks!

Okay, for those of you who know me, prego picture taking is NOT my favorite thing to do, but I decided since I hardly have any with my other three I needed to do a better job this time around. I am only 28 weeks along, but really feel as big as a house. Seriously, with the boys I was all basketball out front, but this one seems to be taking up more of my stomach. Maybe it's just a fourth pregnancy thing. I'm definitely carrying different this time around and can tell more the bigger I get. I had my glucose tolerance test last Thursday and am happy to report that I am glucose tolerant! Since I did not pass my first test with either Caleb or Nate and had to go back both times for the three hour test, I decided to bypass the first one this time around and go straight to the three hour one! Although you have to drink a much nastier drink and get poked not once, but four times, I'm glad I only had to go in once and that I passed with flying colors. And I even had a quiet, peaceful morning all to myself at the doctor's office, while Blake was home playing Mr. Mom....
My pregnancy since the first trimester has been fairly uneventful. This baby has been pretty low key. His/ her movements have been very easy and gentle. No hard pokes or jabs... yet! He/ she does get the hiccups on a pretty regular basis though. It has been fun not knowing this baby's gender (although we are just planning on boy #4!) Asher is sure it is a girl and Caleb disputes that saying it is a boy. We shall know soon enough. If you haven't seen our baby poll on the side of our blog, check it out and let us know what you think!

You look so cute - and I completely understand about not liking the pregnancy pictures. I think I have all of about 3 pictures total from all three of my pregnancies. We cannot wait to find out the gender of the baby - and we are definitely sending pink vibes your way.....

Amber you are so incredibly beautiful! Before I started reading your post I thought, "gosh, she is so small for 28 weeks" and then you said you felt like a house. Isn't that always the way it is, we give ourselves such a hard time, but really you look amazing! I am voting girl!! Please Lord, one Hickman girl!! :)
