How far along? 28 weeks and 3 days
Total weight gain/loss? Up 27.1 pounds. So 2 pounds gained this week. But combine that with the 1.5 pounds LOST last week and I'm only up .5 pounds over the past 2 weeks. So we'll call it a quarter of a pound gained this week. Like my logic?
Maternity clothes? Oh yeah. And I'll be sporting my sexy maternity swim suit over the next few days. Be jealous.
Stretch marks? No new ones. And I found out this week that I've been mistakenly calling my new leg friends varicose veins when they are actually spider veins. (Thanks babycenter.com). And supposedly they'll fade after this little guy is born. Here's hoping.
Sleep? All over the board. Some nights are great, others are awful. I have been waking up with leg craps every other night which is less than relaxing.
Best moment last week? After I picked the little man up from school we were talking in the car and I asked him how his day was. He said good and then said "mommy, how was your day?" It was just so sweet. He also made the jump to big boy undies this week (with diapers at night) - so that was pretty cool too.
Movement? All day. You can now watch my stomach change shape in front of your eyes. It's somewhat freaky.
Food cravings? Back to the chocolate lavender scones from Dulce Vegan and Dunkin Donuts coffee.
Food aversions? Not really.
Gender? I'll be the only lady in the house...
Labor signs? The occasional Braxton Hicks contractions, but otherwise no.
Belly button in/out? Still more in than out.
What I miss: Sleeping/laying on my back. And red wine.
What I am looking forward to: The beach is calling my name.
Milestones: I'm officially in the 3rd trimester according to all pregnancy books/websites/doctors, etc. Woo hoo!
Oh yeah, and his name, it's Julian.
ReplyDeleteHa! Way to throw in his name in a comment!! I sported a SUPER sexy swimsuit last week--felt like I was wearing a leotard, but whatev. Have a great trip! :) Kristin
ReplyDeleteThe comment addition was a throwback to law school days where a professor would ask you something from one of the footnotes...it's all about the details :)
DeleteI LOVE Julian! And love that you posted the name in the comments too. Jealous of you being at the beach this weekend even if you are wearing a maternity suit. Enjoy!
