28 Weeks

How far along? 28 Weeks

Total Weight Gain: (+19) since pre-pregnancy. OYE!

Maternity Clothes? Yes please. Can't even pull up my non-maternity pants anymore.

Stretch Marks? Still none. I can't be this lucky, can I?

Sleep? Bipolar. One night it's great, I sleep all night and get up only once to use the bathroom, and the next I'm up with insomnia. Go figure!

Best Moment This Week: First baby shower! It makes it even more real now that we have infant seats and play-yards sitting in our living room

Movement: Strong and consistent. I'm feeling (and seeing) kicks and body movement. We found out he's already head down, so let's hope he stays that way.

Food Cravings: Frozen yogurt, cupcakes, pasta. Anything sugar!

Gender: BOY

Labor Signs: Starting to feel Braxton Hicks about 2-3 times per day.

Belly Button - In or Out? In. But it's spread open wide!

What I miss: Raw sushi. Happy Hour.

What I am looking forward to: Putting in more work on the nursery



Weekly Wisdom: Weight gain is going to happen regardless of what you do, so trust your body and know it's doing what is right for the baby.

Milestones: 3rd trimester here we go!
