28 Weeks Pregnant

I am officially 28 weeks pregnant today; Saturday April 21st :-)

I had an early start this AM. I woke up at 5:30AM starving, with a splitting headache and the shocking reality that I only have 12 more weeks of pregnancy left! Oh my goodness!! A wave of emotion passed through me as I absorbed the truth that my pregnancy with Little Sweet's is quickly approaching it's end.

There are no words in the human dictionary that could explain or define the utter joy and pleasure it has been being pregnant. I truly mean that! For some woman, they count down the days until pregnancy is over, but for me, I am holding on and cherishing each day as if it were my last.

Some woman have said "Devin, you say that now, but wait until your 8 or 9 months pregnant". Truthfully, I can't see my mindset changing. I suffered from all day pregnancy sickness in my third month, but even then, I never wished for my pregnancy to go by faster. I just prayed the sickness would end come my fourth month; and praise God it did!! lol

Aside from that, today was a very eventful and fun day for myself and Little Sweets; it was registry day :-) My sisters, mom and myself spent 4.5hours in Babies R Us, registry gun in hand, registering for every baby item known to man-well at least it seemed like it! lol

I would have never imagined that registering would take so long, but between all the laughs, pictures, product discussions and decision making, we were longer than we had thought. I left feeling a sense of accomplishment though knowing I had completed what I went there for.

I am so grateful to have had the input and wisdom from my sisters on what products they recommended since they are both new mothers themselves. My mom was such a blessing b/c she pushed the cart around with all of our purses and drinks and cracked most of the jokes-lol.

Even though I came prepared today with my list of items to register for and being well educated on what brands and products had the best ratings,  I still found myself feeling overwhelmed at times.

Three (3) of the hardest decisions for me today were:
1. What swing to get
2. What bouncer to get
3. What bottles to get

I feel a sense of relief now being home and being able to check one more thing off my list of to-do's.

I am off to practise my piano and make a few follow-up calls before heading to bed. One day done, another one to prepare for :-)

Here are some pictures from our day of registrying :-) We had a lot of fun and laughs....as you can tell!! LOL

The 'Pepperall' Girls...and Little Sweet's :-)

Me joking around and getting stuck in the baby bath tub! lol We laughed so hard. My mom had to tip me over onto the ground to get me out!!! LOL

This picture cracks me up! We didn't realize until after the picture was taken that Cheryl was pretending to be sleeping on the baby head rest pillow!! LOL
