How far along? 28 weeks
How big is baby? About the size of an eggplant. 1.5-2.5 lbs. and 13.6-14.8 inches long.
Total weight gain? 16 lbs. as of Thursday of last week I believe. Two pounds in a week...Dr. Lowe should be happy with me! haha.
Maternity Clothes? Nothing new. I've been very blessed that some of my old clothes (especially the ones I wear to work) have elastic waistbands so I can still wear them come August and September.
Stretch Marks? None that I am aware of.
Sleep? It hasn't been too bad. My biggest complaint it after sleeping in one position for a while I wake up achy and needing to change positions which isn't easy as I get bigger. I am by no means huge at this point but I still have trouble getting up from certain positions already.
Movement? She has been moving a ton. She loves to hang out the the right of my belly button so that my stomach is all uneven and crazy looking.
Cravings? Nothing specific. Not on a regular basis at least. I did get a strong hankering for frozen yogurt last weekend and had to drive up to Menchie's but other than that, no real cravings.
What I miss? I don't think there is anything in particular this week that I miss. Maybe my energy but I have't really had a huge decrease in energy yet.
What I am looking forward to? This is something I'm both looking forward to and at the same time not looking forward to. According to the chart I've been following I am officially in the third trimester now. That is super exciting because we are so close to getting to hold her and meet her and snuggle her, but, at the same time 1) it is scary to think that she will be here so soon and 2) I am not looking forward to the fun I've heard about that is the third trimester. The backache and sore ribs and hips; the swelling and the lack of energy. I know it will all be worth in come September.
