{Baby Boy E belly at 28 weeks!! Growing, growing, growing!}
How far along?: 28 weeks (entering the 7th month!!)!! Hello, THIRD TRIMESTER!!! Oh my goodness, I can't believe it!!
{Not letting my toes out of my sight just yet!! ha!}
Maternity clothes?: Yup! Trying to decide what I'm going to wear for showers and maternity pictures! I think I might have it narrowed down! Woohooo!! :)
Total weight gain/loss: According to my nurse and doctor, I didn't gain any weight this month! Not real sure how I managed to pulled that off, because according to pictures, we are growing like crazy!! hahaha. But, the doctor said I'm still on target, so that's good to hear! I fully expected to hear that I gained waaaayyyyyy too much weight this month! I told Mark that it also probably means that at my next appointment, the doctor will say I gained like 15 lbs. for this next month!
Stretch marks?: Not yet! Just waiting for it to happen!
Sleep: Sleep has been pretty great lately! Only a few restless nights with weird and vivid dreams and minor aches! I owe a lot of my great night's of sleep to exercise! I'm still sticking with it - it's not as rigorous as it used to be, but it sure feels like it! Pregnancy exercise is HARD!!!
{One of my regular workouts these days (when I'm not too tired!)!}
Best moment this week: Loving all the signs of Spring and warmer weather! Not so much loving the cold and SNOW today... ugh!!! Crazy Kansas weather!
{Lovin' the Spring blooms!!}
{Received an awesome surprise, in the mail, from my amazing cousin, Kate! She made this precious little football hat for our little man! We love it and can't wait for him to wear it - especially for KSU Wildcat gamedays! Daddy will probably say for KU gamedays! hehehe... Thank you, so much, Kate!!!}
Food cravings: EVERYTHING!! Definitely some healthier cravings lately! I'm also getting to the point where I have to eat smaller portions, which in turn means I'm eating more often! I feel like all I do is eat now! Mark and I get a good laugh out of this... everytime he turns around, I'm saying that I'm starving or I have food in my mouth! Ha!!
{Enough said.}
Have you started to show yet?: ABSOLUTELY!!! So much, in fact, that complete strangers are asking when I'm due - so, it's either super obvious that I'm pregnant or people are just really ballsy (sorry for the language, mom (and little man, if you read this someday!)!)! hahaha.
Labor signs?: No, thank goodness!
Belly button in or out?: Currently it is still in.
Wedding rings on or off?: Still on.
Happy or moody most of the time?: Happy, as long as I'm not exhausted or hungry (or HANGRY!)!
Symptoms: Same as before! Still disliking this heartburn! Also, starting to get more and more uncomfortable at times. But really, so far, I have had such a great pregnancy - I don't have a whole lot to complain about!
What I miss: All the same things that I have been saying up to this point!
What I'm looking forward to: So many things! Maternity pictures (still working on scheduling these!), baby showers, baby classes, new car purchase (yayyyy!!), and continuing to work in the nursery!
Milestones: (Based on a pregnancy app) Your baby still has a lot of growing to do! Your baby's energy is concentrated on gaining subcutaneous fat and muscle tone. Now that your baby can open it's eyes, your baby will also learn to blink this week. The bone structure is strong enough now to support the tiny body, but the bones are still soft and pliable. They will not ossify (harden) completely until around 4 years of age. The joints have not yet completely fused, which ensures that your baby stays flexible for delivery. Believe it or not, sometime during this week - your baby is also developing their first stool. This is called meconium and will stay in the digestive tract until after delivery. Diapers, here we come!! ha!!
Weekly wisdom: Do not procrastinate! I'm trying to stay on top of things and it feels great when I do (and overwhelming when I don't!)! Just my advice for the week! :)
**Still waiting to hear about my Glucose test that I took on Thursday! I'm hoping that no news is good news! :) I'll probably call later today just to check on it!
We love you, so much, Little Man! Keep baking and growing in there! *Big hugs and kisses, from Momma and Daddy!*
