28 Weeks
How far along? I'm actually 30 weeks today, but I'm going back in time to do my 28 week update (This picture is from 28 weeks).
Baby Size: About the size of an eggplant.
Total weight gain: 25 lbs. I gained a lot of weight in December but I've started plateauing since then.
Maternity clothes? Almost exclusively. And even they are starting to feel a bit snug! I'm hoping I can make it to the end without having to make any more purchases.
Stretch Marks? None at this point.
Sleep: I'm still sleeping soundly. My husband's work routine has changed and we thankfully no longer have to get up at 5 am, which I have really appreciated.
Best moment this week: Having the crib arrive and setting it up!
Miss Anything? I am starting to miss my pre-pregnancy wardrobe. My maternity wear is limited and I'm looking forward to wearing some of my favorites again.
Movement: Baby is very active, still mostly at night. Luckily, the baby has turned and is now head down, and hopefully will stay that way till birth.
Food cravings: Sugar, sugar, sugar. I hated sugar in the first trimester, but now I crave it all the time.
Gender Prediction: Oddly enough, I'm starting to lean towards girl, for no reason whatsoever!
Symptoms: Lots of creaking from all that relaxin that is in a pregnant lady's system. I feel everything loosening up.
Mood: I find myself having very little patience with people's cautions and/or stories of terrible labors and complications. I am usually very patient and don't take what people say seriously if I don't want to, but I'm finding I now have very little tolerance for all the horror stories people love to tell pregnant women.
Looking forward to: Finishing my sewing projects, like my cloth diaper stash and the sling I plan to make.
