28 Weeks

Hello third trimester!!!  I am now officially in my third trimester and I have to say that I'm glad to be nearing the end of this pregnancy.  I am feeling pretty big and dealing with a lot of back pain but I also know that it could be so much worse so I'm very grateful not to be having any serious issues!

This last week was very hot and humid again (I can't wait for fall!) so we couldn't spend too much time outside.  G and I took a trip to the city and spent a day at Target to get out of the house.  We got a lot of shopping in but I haven't made much progress on the projects for the nursery.  G decided to take short naps all week that didn't really allow me to get much done. I did manage to get the fabric cut out for the crib blanket and I bought a really cute shelf for the nursery.  I also picked up a big frame and some lace to make a bow holder for the nursery because my sweet girl already has a quite a collection of bows and headbands :)

28 Week Update:

How far along: 28 Weeks

Gender: Girl

Baby is the size of a: head of cauliflower- that explains why I feel huge!

Maternity clothes: Yes though I've mostly been wearing dresses to deal with the heat here and only about half of them are maternity, the rest are just stretchy.

Stretch marks: Nope!

Belly button in or out: In.  It looks weird but it's still in.  G loves to poke it whenever he can get to it which is kind of funny and cute :)

Sleep: G has mostly been doing better but sleep has been a bit uncomfortable with my back pain.  I finally got a pregnancy pillow which I was hoping would help but to be honest I probably prefer using a couple of king size pillows instead.

Best moment this week: Spending the weekend in Oklahoma City with J, G and a cute family that we are friends with out here!  We had such a good time walking around, enjoying the pool, eating good food, and enjoying the company of some fun new friends!  G particularly liked the ducks in the river and he would point and smile and try to get to them :) 

Worst moment this week: On Wednesday, G would not stop trying to climb up on to our counter from the couch so I spent the whole day trying to keep him from killing himself.  I got a little overwhelmed because I was thinking about how much harder it's going to be with two kids that are so small but after a little breathing and a nice bath in our new jetted tub I realized that there is a reason that this Baby Girl is coming in to our lives at this time and we will make it through :)

Miss anything: I would love a nice glass (or pitcher) of sangria!

Movement: Lots and lots of movement all the time!

Cravings: French fries, ice cream, peaches, and queso.

Symptoms: A lot of back pain and I definitely started feeling Braxton Hicks contractions this last week.  It's good to know that my body is starting to prep for labor!

Looking forward to: Getting more projects completed for the nursery!  I also have a doctor's appointment tomorrow so I'm looking forward to hearing Baby Girl's heartbeat but I have to do the glucose test and get my Rhogam shot which isn't fun.
