28 Weeks


How Far Along: 28 Weeks - I cant believe I am now in my 3rd trimester!
Size of baby: Chinese cabbage (weighs 2 1/4 pounds and measures 14.8 inches from the top of the head to the heels)
Maternity Clothes: most definitely. My belly button has also started to pop a little and in some outfits you can see it. Its so weird. I keep wondering if it will pop all the way out. Jason says that's when we will know when he is done :)
Gender: Boy!
Movement: I feel him all the time but for some reason he moves the most when I am at work and once I get home from work. I don't feel him too much in the morning. Maybe he is not a morning person like his momma?! I can only hope!
Sleep: Still getting up a couple times a night but other than that, I sleep pretty good.
What I miss: I went to a tapas wine bar last Saturday night with a girlfriend and I didn't realize how many items off the menu I could not eat! Obviously, I knew I wouldn't be drinking wine but most all of the items had soft cheeses in them. All my favs, goat cheese, blue cheese, gorgonzola cheese, brie, etc. I guess it was not very smart on my part to suggest the place but I wound up finding a few items on the menu I could order. Needless to say, I am ready for my soft cheeses once my little guy arrives!
Cravings: I still crave fruit and sweets. For some reason, lately I have been obsessed with this strawberry liquorice that I found at Target. They are so soft and yummy! Would definitely recommend. 

Aversions: None
Symptoms: Frequent bathroom breaks, still breaking out, swelling of my hands and feet and my back has really been killing me lately. It usually doesn't really start hurting until the end of the day though. I have been trying to stretch more because I have heard that helps but sometimes I forget.
Best Moment this week: Last Saturday, a total stranger at the Lowe's check out lane asked me when I was due! That is the first time a stranger has asked me that. I feel like my belly is huge but I'm just glad that other people can now start to realize that I am actually pregnant and not one who has just ate too many doughnuts :).
