28 weeks

28 weeks (and 3 days 8/24)

(pretend I wrote this August 25th or so)
Well hello third trimester. It is so nice to see you! I can't believe I am 2/3 of the way done! Actually, the past month or so have seemed to really drag. I have a feeling this last trimester is going to fly by. Especially since I am no where near ready for this little girl, poor thing doesn't even have a name!

So, good news and bad news about my last appointment. Good news is I passed my glucose test, all my other labs looked good, and the baby sounded great. Bad news is my blood type didn't magically change overnight so I had to get a Rhogam shot (ouch). And the worst news... I gained 12 pounds. No, not total. In one month! That is 3 pounds a week!!! I think I am going to go cry now. Kim didn't seem too worried about it. She just said quit eating anything that has no nutritional value. *big sigh* But that is the good stuff! My excuse is I have had a cold for the past couple of weeks and haven't felt like doing any kind of exercising. I know, it's still ridiculous. I have two weeks between appointments (9/2), my goal is to not gain much before then.

Mmmm Tasty!

Worst fortune ever! I obviously don't have a problem with my appetite!

Here is a fun little game I like to call "you know you're getting big when":

The other day I went to the grocery store to grab a few things. I wasn't feeling very good that day so I was moving pretty slow. I get home and Chris tells me he got a text from a previous co-worker who saw me at the store. I must have looked how I felt because he told Chris I shouldn't be going anywhere by myself, I looked like I was ready to have a baby at any second. I made sure Chris told him I had 12 more weeks! I thought it was pretty funny.

                                                  

How far along: 28 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 12 POUNDS!!.  Really it was only 11.4 pounds but at that point you might as well round up. 30 total! Maybe I won't gain much over the next 12 weeks!

Maternity clothes?: Yup.
Stretch marks?: None yet
Sleep:  It could always be better but it's not terrible.
Best moment this week: Spending time at the pool on these hot days
Movement: All the time!
Food cravings: I obviously love sweets!
Gender: Girl!
What I miss: Cooler weather. Not only has it been 90's nearly every day I also have some cute cooler weather maternity clothes that I want to wear.
Milestones: Third trimester!

From BabyCenter:

By this week, your baby weighs 2 1/4 pounds (about the size of a large eggplant) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels.
She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
