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.
