28 Weeks

How far along? Let's say 28 weeks, despite the previous confusion. Baby is measuring a little less, about 28th percentile.

Total weight gain/loss: Gained FIVE LBS this time! Crazy. So I'm still down 4 since the first app.

Maternity clothes? Same stuff, my T-shirts are tight so I'm conscripting Greg's.

Sleep: Greg spent the last 3 nights on the couch and it was wonderful!!! Never thought we'd resort to this but with me thrashing around trying to get comfortable and not having enough room and then getting up to pee every two hours both of us were starting to lose it from the sleep deprivation. Not sure if we'll keep it up or just take breaks to catch up on sleep.

Best moment this week: When I realized I made it the whole week without throwing up! Still nauseous sometimes but now I can eat regularly and I'm not expecting it every day. I didn't even throw up after the glucose screening!

Movement: Very active, and now I can usually tell what position the baby's in.

Food cravings: Chicken, Honey Bunches of Oats, Mexican food as always.

Gender: I'm thinking girl now. Just because I can't think of one name I like and I have like five perfectly good boy names.

Labor Signs: Contractions when I walk around a lot, but not serious.

Belly Button in or out? Still in.

What I miss: My energy. The ability to lift heavy objects (guilt free).

What I am looking forward to: This is not a baby thing necessarily, but I really can't wait for us to move. I want to nest big time!

Weekly Wisdom: While babies don't technically need lampshade covers on their ceiling lights that coordinate with original wall art, this is how mine will know it's loved :)

Milestones: Viability.
