How far along? 28 Weeks 6 Days
Total weight gain/loss: +24 pounds
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? Some under my boobs
Sleep: I wake up once in the night to pee. Hips still occasionally fall asleep so I just have to rotate throughout the night from one hip to the other.
Best moment this week: Two wonderful things happened:
1. On Friday I found out that I passed my 1 hour glucose test! So thankful and relieved that I didn't have to do the 3 hour test. The 1 hour was torture enough.
2. My husband and I are officially on Spring Break right now. This will probably be the last one he gets for a while since he's graduating from Law school this year. We went to a B&B (his idea! :) for 2 nights & it was so wonderfully relaxing. The B&B was only 1 1/2 hours away from our hometown. It was everything I expected it to be and more. We got the babymoon package which included a dozen red roses, sparkling grape juice, commemorative champagne flutes, a stuffed teddy bear, chocolate covered strawberries, and breakfast delivered to our room. Taking a babymoon was definitely a good idea considering we probably won't have the time/energy/money to go on a trip like that for a while after baby girl arrives. It was so nice to spend some quality time with my hubby.
Have you told family and friends: Yes
Miss Anything? Sleeping on my stomach and back, running, beer, wine, people NOT giving me advice, my old body
Movement: Lots! I've started keeping track on a kick count chart. Over the past few days I've been able to count 10 kicks/feelings of movement in a 10-30 minute period.
Food cravings: I'm eating pretty normally. I still crave oranges and have been drinking light lemonade, homemade orange juliuses, and orange juice. I'm also trying to remember to drink lots of water to keep the swelling in my feet down.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No
Have you started to show yet: Yes
Gender: Girl
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Stretch marks, pelvic pain, heartburn, and minor swelling in my hands and feet
Belly Button in or out? Barely in
Wedding rings on or off? Off :( I've been wearing some of my other, bigger rings to make up for it.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, sprinkled with a little bit of moody. I freaked on my husband the other day because he ate the last of our frozen pretzels. It went down like this - "Did you eat the last frozen pretzel?" "Yes." "Are you kidding me?!" I was completely irrational and it was quite embarrassing. I've also been having these long, drawn-out giggle fits. Something will strike me as funny and I will laugh hysterically, often to the point where tears come down my eyes.
Looking forward to: Meeting with my mom, aunt, cousin, and sister-in-law to help plan my family and friend baby shower. It's going to be one big shower on Sunday, April 21. We're inviting close to 60 people and having it at a shelter house at the same lake where Jimi and I got married.
