One of my fave bloggers at G+D inspired me to 'rock a belt' while pregnant.

Heres my attempt - Although, I must tell you; it was short lived. After sitting with a belly AND a belt for an hour or so I decided on of them had to go ...

Pregnancy amazes me ... this is what happened between weeks 12 (on left) and week 28 (right).

Ive been very irritable this week with everything - I just feel grumpy in general. But when I think about how cool all of this is it helps mellow me out.

So - yes; physically this is a very amazing and awe-inspiring experience for me (even the 2nd time around) but in all honestly Im kinda freaked out - Im nervous about everything this week. These same things didnt phase me last week - but here are a few of the things that completely freak me out at the moment;

• how Kalina adjust to having a sibling.

• how our family will adjust to having a newborn

• if im grumpy now ... *sigh* 'nuff said.

• how will a new baby affect our marriage?

• will my baby be healthy?

• can i possibly push another baby out successfully?

• will i end up having a c-section???

• how bad is it going to suck leaving a baby again when i go back to work -

i hate separation anxiety (mine, not the babys)

• will this all work out financially like we've planned?

• will I have discipline enough to get back into shape?

• will david be sensitive to what im going thru?

• will I be sensitive to the changes hes going to be experiencing?

• who will cook dinner and sweep the floors??? haha.

and those are just the immediate concerns. Dont get me started about the responsibility of raising a self-sufficient adult ...

ok ok ... i know. it'll ALL BE FINE. This stuff has a way of working out - right???

one things for sure; she'll be here before we know it.

What A Difference A Day Makes

28 Week Belly Shot:

The image on the left is the Pre-Anniversary-Dinner-Belly and on the right is the aftermath; the morning-after-the-dinner-belly.

By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
