Baby B will be 29 weeks on Tuesday. I am thankful this pregnancy is going by so fast but the evil monster of fear and anxiety over her birth is already beginning to creep into my thoughts. I spent some time reading my Bible this morning and am thankful I am never alone. God is protecting my sweet baby B and I know that come time for her birth, God will be very present there too. For that knowledge alone, I am thankful.
For now I must focus on today and preparing for our sweet baby girl's arrival! Insert warm fuzzies here.
Doctor New:
After a less than mediocre appointment with a local clinic I spent most of last week researching new doctors and clinics and comparing hospitals. I called on our Bradley Method instructor, Brandi, for some advice and direction. She was a Godsend. She directed me to a new doctor and after verifying with our insurance that she was in-network, I was told I could setup my first appointment with Dr. Pugliese! We will deliver at Lafayette General Hospital.
Baby B News: At 28 weeks she is measuring at 27 weeks (withing 2 weeks is normal), she is head down and is a very active little girl! Her heartbeat was in the 150s and kept jumping around due to the acrobatics that Baby B was performing in my belly.
Here are the most recent pics of our sweet Baby B!

28 weeks, 4 days
She currently likes to stick her booty out on my right side making my tummy look anything but round. It's so fun to know I am seeing her booty, though! I haven't felt any hiccups yet- although I could miss them since Baby B is so active she's almsot always jumping around between the hours of noon and 10pm. It's the strangest feeling and sight to see my stomach move and to know there is a little life inside. God is amazing.
I am feeling awesome. I think I got over the cold/allergies that tried to take me down last week! Hoping this fresh rain doesn't stir things up again.
I'm going to schedule my next doctor's appointment with my new doctor, Dr. Pugliese, on Monday and will report in after that! I've heard wonderful things about her as well as the doctors in her practice.
One more exciting personal note! I called a former Bradley student yesterday morning. Brandi (our Bradley instructor) suggested I talk to her about her experience with Dr. Pugliese. Her name is Sunny and we ended up talking for 45 minutes about Dr. Pugliese, her 4 month old little girl Isabelle and their church. I'm very happy to report Matt and I will be attending church with them tomorrow! Praying we find it to be a good fit. Sunny also invited us to visit their small group next weekend.
Have I mentioned how good God is? Because he sure seems to know exactly what I need, when I need it. Obviously moving comes with its challenges but having Matt gone this past week definitely stirred up a lot of my concerns over meeting new friends, finding a church and a community of like minded friends. Starting over is hard and while I know God is at work, it's still exhausting and down right depressing at times. But I have so much to be thankful for. So far God has blessed us with a place to live, friends nearby, an amazing Bradley instructor and now hopefully a new girlfriend for me :)
I will report back after our next doctor's appointment or when anything of interest arises :)
Happy Saturday, all!
