28 Weeks!

Mommy-To-Be on Mother's Day

We have been very busy since the last post 4 weeks ago.  We have the nursery ready to go.  The only thing we need for it is a rocking chair, but my mom is giving us one that she just needs to get refinished, so hopefully she can get that ready before baby Cameron decides to come.  Along with getting his room ready to go we also got our lower level cleaned up and organized so all it needs is a new couch and it will be ready for relaxing nights watching tv, until Mr. Cameron comes and then those nights may not exist for awhile.  Haha!



Cameron's Name in the Nursery



Other updates, I had my first Baby Shower with all of my family and close family friends.  My Aunt Darlene, Aunt Brenda, and Cousin Stefanie hosted the shower and they did an amazing job.  They went with the Nautical theme of the baby's room and it was perfect.  We had a taco bar for food and it definately agreed with Mommy and Baby Cameron.  We got a lot of nice gifts and appreciate everyone's kindness and look forward to everyone meeting him.  Below are all the centerpieces my aunt did for the baby shower.

Today I had my 28 week check up and everything looked great.  My belly is measuring 28cm, blood pressure was 118/72, I only gained 4 pounds since my last visit, and Cameron's little heartbeat was good and strong at 145 bpm.  The doctor said everything looked great, and we just need to start counting his kicks and movements throughout the day and night, especially after eating dinner.  He is supposed to kick atleast 10 times an hour.  I definately think he is already doing that, but now I will start counting just to be sure he is doing what he is supposed to do.  Our next appointment is in 2 weeks, and we will continue with appointments for every 2 weeks until about 1 month out then we will go weekly.  We are getting close to D-Day.  Can't Wait!!!

I do have to inform you all of some educational learning moments for Jason on here, because he is definately still learning about this whole process.  I don't know if any of you ever watch 16 and Pregnant on MTV or Pregnant In Heels on E!, but both shows can be quite educational for the men.  On 16 and Pregnant a girl started having labor pains so they went to the hospital they induced her and they posted they she was 4 hours into labor.  Jason saw that and thought that was the longest time every.  I laughed at him and told him that was actually not very long at all and some women are in labor for 12, 24, to 48 hours of labor.  He was pretty much in shock and he thought that I pretty much go to the hospital, have the baby, and then I am all done.  Haha!!!  Then on the show Pregnant In Heels, there was a lady that was terrified of the delivery process and had a phobia of needles.  They showed her going to a childbirth class and showed the baby going through the pelvis and mentioned something about tissues tearing or the doctors cutting you.  He had no clue about that and asked what they were talking.  So I had to exlplain that to him and then he was concerned about how everything went back to normal.  I told him they stitch you back up.  I sure hope Cameron decides not to come before our Childbirth class on July 9th, because Jason definately needs to go to the class.  Well, I hope you all enjoy and I will probably post in 2 weeks after my doctors appointment.
