How far along? 28 weeks 5 days
Size of baby: Head of a cauliflower (16 in, 2.5 lbs)
Total weight gain: About 19 lbs.
Maternity clothes: Yes. Just yes. And I'm feeling totally insecure about how I look. In the past two weeks, I've had multiple co-workers comment on my size ("wow you are big!" "oh...you're not due until December?") and my "waddle." This week was just tough.
Sleep: Extremely inconsistent. Some nights I maybe get two hours of sleep, and other nights I don't wake up until my alarm. The baby isn't waking me up-- I just am having a hard time getting to sleep and then staying asleep.
Best moment of the week: When my youngest sister Nicole felt the baby move during church :) She was so surprised and it was so cute!
Movement: Yes- ALL THE TIME! There are moments where the baby is moving so much that I get distracted and just wait til he/she stops:)
Miss anything: Other than Fall beer and drinks-- nope!
Food cravings: Still carbohydrates-- I would definitely choose bread/pasta over meat.
Food aversions: Nope!
Symptoms I have: Tingly hands and feet! I am also starting to get really tired at the end of the school day-- it's hard for me to sit down!
Gender Predictions: Girl :)
Don't worry about your weight and the way you look- you are carrying a miracle inside your body! Also, maternity clothes are not always flattering- and they just accentuate your baby belly--which is something you should show off!! Trust me, you will actually miss it when its gone!
