How far along? 28 Weeks
Gender: Boy
Total weight gain/loss: 28 lbs! Wowie!
Maternity clothes? Bottoms are maternity and tops are a size up! As I mentioned last week, there will definitely be a little shopping spree soon to ensure that I can wear some comfy but cute spring/summer clothes! Helloooo maxi dresses and skirts!
Stretch marks? Nada, thank you very much.
Sleep: I love sleep. So much. It’s going okay…I’m up constantly throughout the night to run to the bathroom, and this little dude seems to think there is a constant after-party when I’m finally relaxed in bed. His little rolls and jabs keep me up a bit, and I find getting in and out of bed has proven to be quite difficult with this belly. I get really tired in the afternoons and I feel as though I could take a nap…with my eyes open.
Best moment this week: My doctor’s appointment on Monday was pretty great! Our little dude is growing at a perfect rate and I passed my glucose test (I’m looking at you cupcakes!) so I am one happy baby mama! Hubs and I received our first baby shower gift in the mail today and it was so wonderful and exciting! I opened it and hubs put it together right away; it is the cutest baby bouncer chair ever–it matches the swing we have for Baby B. You can find the bouncer here.
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? Similar to last week, my energy is missed. Oh, and my mobility–getting in and out of my car has been getting more and more difficult. I totally feel my balance being off because of this big ol’ bump! Also, I would love a nice and cold pint of beer on a patio…while I wear my cute skinny boyfriend jeans.
Movement: Yep!
Food cravings: Milk; which I still find so gross that I love it so much. Literally, I could CHUG it. Fruit smoothies. Kronenberg Blanc with an orange wedge. Hot tamales. Water; I feel like I can’t get enough these days!
Have you started to show yet: OH HELL YES.
Labor Signs: Nope!
Belly Button in or out? Still in…ish. It’s very shallow. It’s the creepiest. Honestly, I can’t look at it for very long. I wonder if it will ever pop? (I hope not!)
Wedding rings on or off? ON!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy but have been feeling really emotional lately…and borderline moody (especially over really petty things).
Looking forward to: My first baby shower this weekend in Ottawa! I am driving our car (eee!) to Ottawa by myself on Friday morning and I am so excited to see my friends and family. I’m most excited to see Miss Aria…sorry, mom.
Have the most lovely weekend!
XO
