28 weeks today!

I am 28 weeks pregnant today. I keep telling people that I am 7 months pregnant and I get weird looks - pregnancy really lasts for 10 lunar months. I don't know who came up with this 9 month thing! I guess it's 9 calender months. Oh well. I am still feeling pretty good except for an occasional bit of nausea and vomiting and this head cold...but other than that - I am feeling great! As my belly has gotten bigger and the kicks have gotten stronger it makes me miss Ben more and more. Only about 7 more weeks til he gets home!

Yes, it does seem people get confused with the whole 9/10 month thing. I always told people what I actually was - calendar months - since calendar months is what we go by. You look great! Keep growing that baby! :)

Ben,
Where are the pics of your belly? Jessie has been trying to google images of hot topless air force pilots and we can't seem to find any of you....

Ha! Ben, you should post pictures of your belly--fair is fair. Although it would probably make most of us feel lazy since you've been working out like 6 days a week. Stacey, you look fabulous! I'm even more happy to hear that you're feeling great. Keep the pictures coming. Love and miss you both!

Hey everybody, it's Ben. Seriously, that's funny about the belly pics. I might just do that! It would be hilarious if a bunch of my buddies got together with their super good looking mustaches and took picks pushing our bellies out! Seriously though, I bet as a squadron, we've lost at least 200 pounds. One of my buddies has lost 22 pounds so far (he hasn't told his wife either, so she's going to be SHOCKED when she sees him, I'm sure).

Anyway, things here are still going well, and staying BORING. I can't wait to see Stacey and that cute belly in person. This weekend she's in the Netherlands for the tulip festival. I hope she'll post some pics on here, because the Dutch do a great job of making the flowers at that festival look unworldly pretty.

Thanks to everybody for their prayers for our baby, Stacey, me and especially the rest of our troops deployed over here!

I hope everybody's doing well!

Ben

Stacey - You are beautiful! What an exciting time! I can't imagine how much you miss Ben, and how much he misses you. Hang in there, keep staying busy, and take good care of yourself!
Ben - You take good care of yourself too! Thanks so much for making the sacrifices you make!
I'm so proud to know you both! Love you guys,
Jill

You look fabulous! We are still in prayer for Ben's safety and for you two are you're apart. Hopefully these last few weeks will fly by! Love you!
