28th bumpdate

Its the **~*THIRD TRIMESTER!!!!*~**

How Far Along: 28 weeks, baby!

Size of baby:  Almost 15 inches and just over 2 pounds.  In veggies: a cauliflower!

Weight change: + 26

Maternity Clothes:   I've been living in sweat pants & everything stretchy.  My 'long' shirts that I thought would work forever are becoming too short!

Movement: getting karate chopped all the time now!  Baby likes to 'ride dirty' (as daddy says) by sitting low but every now & then I get a good punch in the ribs or gallbladder.  I've noticed she likes to get real active when I'm trying to sleep or nap, especially when I get up during the wee hours ;)

Sleep: still depends on the day.  Some nights I'm out like a rock, others I lay awake for awhile.

Symptoms: ooooooo my aching back!  Lower back is usz ok unless I do too much walking or sitting wrong (like on a bench or stool.)  My thoracic is in rough shape.  Think the boobies are taking their toll!

Cravings:  I finally gave in to my pink animal cookie craving.  They were ohhh so tasty!

Innie or outie: Yesterday it became apparent my cute, deep innie will no longer be!  I ran around with cousin Lisa here squealing about it.  The thin part is getting thicker & the inside is tender... I say in 2 weeks or less it'll pop!

Favorite Moment This Week:  my belly def looks like a preggo belly!  No mistaking ;)  we finished up Bradley class and are on the search for a doula.

Worst Moment This Week: its getting real!   In 12 weeks or less bambina will be here! !!!  Think we are both starting to feel the pressure.

Looking Forward To: baby shower on Saturday! !

Daddy update: daddy's thinking about selling his beloved jeep to focus on the family.  Whaaat!!
