28 Weeks

Wow, can you believe we're already in our 3rd trimester?!? Today was our 28 week appointment and I had to take my lovely glucose test. I heard stories about how nasty the drink was and how some people (no one I know) had passed out afterwards. Thankfully, it wasn't that bad! The drink tasted like flat orange soda and I did feel a little light headed after drinking it (too much sugar), but we survived! I won't know my results until the next couple of days, but I'm not worried! The doctor and nurse were both surprised by how happy I am and I think it made the doctor a little sick! ha! Michael is doing great though and measuring right on track. This week starts our bi-monthly check ups and next week we start our birthing classes. I'm very excited about the next few months! We have tons of things taking place, which means he will be here before we know it! Yipppppeeeeee!!!!!

How far along? 28 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: officially 14 pounds... yikes!

Maternity clothes? tops still... but I feel as though I'm going to need pants VERY soon

Stretch Marks? Nope

Sleep: sleeping great, until I wake up to him punching my ribs! he's definitely getting me ready for those all nighters

Best moment this week: spending time with our families this weekend. I really enjoy being around both of our families and I definitely feel blessed to have them so close

Miss Anything? shopping for swimsuits.... the thought of putting a swimsuit on makes me sick

Movement: oh yea! last night it felt like he was doing flips all night... it definitely made for an unpleasant night. However, I absolutely love feeling him move and so does Bran

Food cravings: nothing really, just always hungry

Anything making you queasy or sick: crust on bread is bothering me lately and noodles that don't have a lot of sauce on them are blah!

Gender: Baby Boy :)

Pregnancy Symptoms: last night I was laying on my back and I got the worst pain in my back! I think he was laying on my sciatic nerve and it was the most terrible feeling yet.... hopefully that does not happen again

Belly Button in or out? Out

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, just really tired

Looking forward to: my first prenatal massage this weekend and our first birthing class next week :)
