28 Weeks


How far along? 28w!  Into the home stretch!
Total weight gain: +8 total.  I'll find out the 'official' number on Monday.
Maternity clothes? Yes.
Stretch marks? I think so, but I can't really tell still!
Sleep: It's hit or miss.  Some nights are great, and I sleep straight through but other nights I wake up a few times.
Best moment this week: Same as last, nothing really stands out, but in a good way.
  Miss Anything? Wine. I crave it all the time, which is so weird because I'm really not a big drinker.
Movement: Lots of movement and I love it.  Today, baby was dancing like crazy when I played music.  Mark even got kicked in the ear and face a few times, really hard.
   Food cravings: Fruit, fresh and in desserts!  Strawberries, bananas, raspberries, oranges.  We've had pies and strawberry shortcake.  I feel like I'm definitely going to fail my gestational diabetes test on Monday.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing really at this point! 
Have you started to show yet? Yes
Gender prediction: Boy again.
Symptoms: Backaches, and some nasal congestion at the end of the day.  Hip pain, so much hip pain.  Feeling a lot of pressure this week, so hopefully that means baby is head down.
Belly Button in or out? In. It's definitely shallow.  I go back and forth thinking it's going to pop out.
Wedding rings on or off? On, but getting tighter as it warms up.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy this week.
 Looking forward to: My next appointment with the midwife on Monday.  


Every week I say the same thing, it's going by so fast!  I'm ordering a couple books and things about hypnobirthing, so I can't wait to get that stuff.  I've just finished one book of natural birth stories and am into the second book and I love it.  It's really great for me to read all about these positive birth experiences, because I've just been so anxious and afraid that we will end up having the same experience this time as we did with Lilly, and I really want to avoid it all.  We'll see how it goes!
