28 weeks - entering the 3rd trimester


Total Weight Gain: Not sure, but I'm sure we'll see next week at my doctor's appointment {my last 4 week appointment.  Hard to believe we are ready to start every two week appointments!}

Maternity Clothes: Still in them, but we are seeing previews of warm weather that gives me hope!

Sleep: I would say okay at best.  Been fighting a sinus problem/head cold, so mouth breathing has been a friend of mine to help get around the congestion.

Best Moment of the Week: My prenatal yoga has got to be at the top.  I started again {finally} three weeks ago and am LOVING it!  It amazes me how a simple hour of week can help my mood and body so much!

Worst Moment of the Week: Can't think of anything, as I feel so incredibly blessed these days.

Movement: Comes and goes, but this baby seems to be most active at night.  I remember this somewhat with K too, but makes me a little nervous.  I am trying to prepare for that we will most likely not be as lucky with sleep as we were with K.  I can tell this baby is growing and has less room, as movements are more strong.  Love each and every little kick and punch as it is a wonderful reminder of the blessing we have been given.

Food Cravings: Clementines are still a must at least once a day, but no other "real" cravings.

Food Aversions: Can't think of anything.

Symptoms: Burn baby burn with the wonderful heartburn, which is getting worse.  Nose bleeds, hip pain, lower back pain, occasional wrist pain, leg numbness/sciatica - the normal joys of pregnancy.

Gender: It's a boy or a girl!

Names: Elliana Hope or Caiden Michael

Labor Signs: No.  Starting to feel occasional tightness, which I would say are Braxton Hicks, but they are few and far between and part of the territory I suppose.

Belly Button: It's halfway in and halfway out - GROSS!  I hate pregnancy belly buttons!!

What I Miss: Putting on socks easily

What I Am Looking Forward To: Meeting with Jenny, a doula, again to make sure Jared is on-board with her!  And getting my glucose test over with {hopefully} next week!!

1 Thessalonians 5:18 says "give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
