28 Weeks

How Far Along: 28 weeks 1 day

Size of Baby: 2 and a quarter pounds, 14.8 inches

Maternity Clothes: Yes. I tried on my non-maternity capris last week and they fit but then today I tried on a different pair and I could barely pull them up to my hips. I couldn't zip them at all. Upon realizing this I burst into tears! How did I get so big? My mom and Sarah were over and I think they were surprised I was crying over this. I calmed down really quickly. Sometimes my emotions just aren't rational! LOL!

Weight Gain: Last time I was at the Dr's I was 162. UGH!

Belly: See above pic!

Stretch Marks: Nope!

Sleep: Its getting more difficult. I have to prop my belly up when I sleep on my side which is pretty much the only position I can sleep in. My hips and back hurt too.

Best Moment of the Week: I still enjoy feeling baby move but not when I'm trying to fall asleep. He's been moving a lot lately! He likes to shove is feet really low in my pelvis...ouch!

Movement: Somersaults!

Symptoms: I have a burning aching pain that is almost constant just to the right of my stomach but still on my left side almost in the middle right where my ribs end. I think its a nerve and muscle that is being stretched. It hurts a lot after a 12 hour shift. Dr said it will probably get worse and last a little even after I have the baby :( Back is starting to hurt more too.

Food Cravings: Reeses Peanut Butter Cups/Pieces, I have much more of a sweet tooth than normal.

What I Miss: Summer Shanty Beer!

What I'm Looking Forward To: Getting the carpet laid tomorrow, finishing the dresser, getting my crib and putting it together.



Milestones: Baby can see light! He is also growing hair.

Emotions: A little emotional and cranky but okay!

Weight Gain: At my OB appointment my Dr said 10 lbs. She was really happy about it.


Belly: See above pic!

Stretch Marks: Nope!

Sleep: Having difficulty getting comfortable. I have to prop my belly on a pillow or my side starts to hurt.

Best Moment of the Week: I still really enjoy watching my little guy dance around. We finished painting the nursery so that is good too. And I FINALLY cleaned out the closet (with much help from my mom). It felt so good to organize and get rid of stuff I don't use anymore.

Movement: I'm starting to be able to feel baby head and booty. Its fun to guess how he's laying!

Symptoms: Hungry ALL THE TIME!!! New on the list is pelvic pressure. I can't imagine how it feels when your 40 weeks! Makes it hard to be on your feet all night at work! I'm also starting to get a faint linea nigra. Not super excited about that! Lastly I feel like I need to pee all the time as well!
Food Cravings: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Coke (in moderation of course), any baked good with lemon in it and finally a banana split which I have yet to get!
What I Miss: Sleeping on my back. Sangria :)
What I'm Looking Forward To: My first baby shower Saturday, Setting up the nursery, Getting the results of my Glucose test.
Milestones: Viability! Baby would have a good chance of living if he decided to come today, though I hope he'll wait a couple or so more months!
Emotions: I've been cranky. Or so I'm told...
