28 Weeks | Pregnancy Three

Date: 6/22/18

How far along? 28 Weeks and 3 days

Baby Size? almost 15 inches long

Total weight gain: 15.5 pounds from starting weight

Maternity clothes? Maternity shorts for sure and then a mix of maternity and regular tops and dresses.

Miss Anything?  Wine, working out, indulging in sushi – I don’t know whats happened but I have not been working out at all this pregnancy with the exception of a few spin classes.  I really miss it.  Now I’m just trying to fit in some longer walks.

Movement: Yes! Lots of good movement especially when I’m lying down at night.

Symptoms: Some heartburn here and there and shortness of breathe.  Madelyn kills me when she wants to be carried up our stairs.  I’m dying by the time I get to the top!

Belly Button in or out? in

Wedding rings on or off? on

Sleep: Im still sleeping pretty well, but I can feel myself right on the verge of not being able to sleep.  I’m super exhausted come night time and even the afternoons.  I sometimes will have a little coffee in the afternoon to power through the day and I know that is terrible for me come bedtime.  Last night, I was having the craziest leg pains down my right leg.  It was like she was sitting on a nerve that was debilitating my leg.  I pray that doesn’t happen again!

Best moment this week: Entering into the 3rd trimester.  Can’t believe were finally here!  I also passed my Glucose test, Yippee! We had the best week on vacation last week at the beach with friends and family.  I thought it was going to be super hard not being able to drink all week, but it really wasn’t too bad!  The first 16 weeks of my pregnancy went by so slow, but now things seem to be going really fast!  It’s almost July and next week we are celebrating Brody turning FIVE!

Exercise: I have done a few random spin classes here and there on my Peloton.  I keep thinking I will get into a groove of 3 per week or so, but it is totally not happening!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!

Gender Prediction: It’s a GIRL.  We were able to find out at an ultrasound at 16 weeks that we’re having a girl.  

Labor Signs: No

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy most of the time.  A little short tempered or tired some of the time.

Looking forward to: Celebrating Brody’s birthday next week and then we enter into July which happens to be a really busy month for us full of fun stuff!  I keep saying that the next 6 weeks or so are going to fly by and then I feel like once August rolls around, I’m going to be so ready for this baby to be here.

When we were in Rosemary Beach last week, we had family photos taken by Teston Photography, and I snapped a few maternity pictures while we were there!  I never had maternity photos done with my other two babies, so it was fun to snap a couple.  They turned out really cute!
