28 Week Update


How Far Along:
  28 Weeks

Size of the Baby:
She is now the size of an Eggplant!

Maternity Clothes:
After having an incredibly uncomfortable day yesterday in my clothing,
I spent quite a bit of time at TJ Max and Target today
buying some MUCH NEEDED bigger clothing
that will hopefully stretch with me throughout the remainder of the pregnancy.
I also bought some stretchy fabric at JoAnn's to make a Maxi Skirt...
because Maxi Skirts and my yoga pants are pretty much the only bottoms I can wear now.

Weight gain:
Yeah... I've gained a total of 21 pounds now.

Sleep:
There has definitely been a turn of events with sleep.
I'm feeling the weight of this baby much more this week,
which means my comfort level throughout the day has drastically decreased.
By 2pm everyday I longingly look at the clock and say to myself:
"Is it bedtime yet?"
All I want to do is put on my PJ's, curl up into bed, and sleep.
Because at least when I'm sleeping,
I'm not feeling the discomfort as much as when I am awake.

Best Moment of the Week:
Nothing too special this week...
Does sleep count?

Movement:
Yep, she's moving alright.
The other night it felt like baby girl decided to shift all of her weight
to one side of my belly and press really hard.
That was a crazy feeling.

Food Cravings:
Iced Decaf Vanilla Lattes are a bit like heaven right now.

Gender:
Baby Girl.

Belly Button in or out:
In

Wedding ring on or off:
  It still fits (even though it is off in this picture).

Anything making you queasy or sick:
Eggs are starting to be unappetizing again
(unless I scramble them with lots of seasoning).

What I miss:
I miss my belly not CONSTANTLY itching!

What I am looking forward to:
My baby shower!!!!
It's in 5 days.

Nursery:
Nothing new since last week.

Ways to Relax:
I am almost done with the book Les Miserables!
I am seriously going to be so proud of myself
when I finish that monster of a book.
