So, I forgot to have Michael take my picture this weekend like I planned. Decided to just take one with my cell phone. Not great quality but better than nothing!
How Far Along: 28 weeks - officially starting the third trimester!
Gender: It's a boy!
Movement: He's still a very active little guy. Always squirming, kicking, pushing... For awhile I swore he never slept & I got a little worried. I'd prefer a newborn that likes to sleep! Maybe he's just an active sleeper... He sometimes likes to push out on one side. It's so weird to look down & be lopsided. He seems to favor my right side. Alex did the same thing.
Sleep: Hit & miss. Work has been pretty busy & stressful so lately it's been hard to go back to sleep after I wake up to use the bathroom. Not fun.
Maternity Clothes: A week after my last post, I found my extra hangers & have been wearing maternity pants since. I'm still wearing some non-maternity shirts but I don't think that will be an option much longer. Baby is growing!
Symptoms: Energy level is ok. I sometimes get out of breath easily & my hands/feet swell if I get overheated. I've also had a little more heartburn with this baby. It might be because I'm bending over more taking care of a toddler. I carry Tums in my purse now. I'm still feeling pretty good overall but I swear I've felt a little more uncomfortable with this baby. I tend to groan a lot when getting up off the couch, bending over or getting in/out of bed. I asked Michael the other day if I was this "groan-y" this early with Alex. He said he he didn't think so. I have a feeling I'll be very ready to have this baby when January rolls around!
Aversions: Nothing really that I wasn't adverse to before.
Cravings: Still lattes (mmm...) but not quite as strongly as when I wrote my last bumpdate. Desserts in general pretty much always sound good. Halloween candy is hard to turn down! Honeycrisp apples are my favorite & are back in season. I could eat 2-3 of those babies a day!
Best Moment This Week: Deciding on a color scheme for the baby's room. And we finally hung some artwork in our house. Our dining room is now decorated! We ended up using a lot of our artwork from our old living room & we both really like it. I love the way the room looks. Now we just have to decorate the rest of the rooms... I can't wait until the whole place looks put together like the dining room. Oh well, one thing at a time.
