28 weeks

How far along: 28 weeks, hellooooo third trimester!

Gender: GIRL!

Weight gain: +20 lbs

 

Maternity clothes: Yes! 

Stretch marks: Still haven't noticed any - been using my mama belly oil I used while pregnant with Hadley.

Belly button in or out: In, but very stretched out!

Sleep: Good nights and bad nights. 

Symptoms: This week my symptoms really reared their ugly head, overnight almost it seemed. Pretty intense lower back pain a few days this week, trouble bending down, exhaustion setting in, leg pain, and a few contractions. Definitely feeling pregnant these days.
 
Best moment this week: Definitely the beautiful weekend we were blessed with. Plenty of sunshine, a Master's Party on Sunday with great friends, and a wonderful date night (you know, dinner and Costco of course - very romantic hehe)!

I only took 3 pictures at the party....really wish I would have gotten one of all the kiddies on the swing - it  was precious!

 

 

Miss anything: Bending over without getting out of breath, figure flattering clothes, wine and sushi!

Movement: Yes, baby girl is getting bigger and seems very active! She is wriggling around like crazy today...just no better experience in this world than feeling that little miracle inside me.

Cravings: Sweets, protein, cereal

Workouts:  Running 3-4 miles three times a week now, and still going to barre about 3-4 times a week. Ran 3.5 miles this morning, so thankful I can still run. Might be slow as molasses, but I'm doing it! Hoping I can continue till the end of my pregnancy, we shall see.

Looking forward to: 1) Ultrasound this week (yay!, boo for my gestational diabetes test). I can't wait to see baby girl again, it's been 8 long weeks since our last ultrasound.  2) Easter this weekend! Lots of festivities - neighborhood egg hunt on Saturday, easter egg dying at home, and Easter service at our church and family lunch.
