Pregnancy Questionnaire- 28 (and a half) weeks

How far along? 28.5 weeks  Third Trimester!

How big is baby? 17 inches (head to toes now), 2.9 lbs Though actually he is measuring big so more like 3.5 lbs!

Total weight gain/loss: Holding steady a few pounds down from prepregnancy which means losing as baby grows!

Maternity clothes? Yes

Sleep: Getting harder.  Having to pee in the middle of the night, turn more often as it gets uncomfortable, and adjusting pillows regularly to support my changing body.

Best moment this week: Confirming how big our little man is!

Movement: Super super active.  I don't remember Bella being this active, or strong, this early, but I haven't gone back to check these updates either.  He is actually making it tough to sleep at times since he is so busy.

Food cravings: None

Food Aversions: none

Gender: It's a boy!!!! (Confirmed yet again today!)

Labor Signs: regular contractions, though this will go on for months.  Fun, right?

Pregnancy Symptoms:  I feel huge.  Baby boy is so active, kicking and moving all over.  Hard to be in any position for any amount of time without getting very uncomfortable.  Peeing a lot again (this child seems to like to sit on my bladder a lot more than Bella did).  Can't eat too much without feeling sickeningly full.  Hard to bend over, lift, or do just about anything.  Getting pretty tired again.

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: Just being able to do what I want, when I want.  I am teaching Bella that I often can't pick her up, and that makes me sad, though we make up for it with snuggles and hand holding.  Having any amount of energy.

What I am looking forward to: Finally getting the nursery ready.

Upcoming appointments/events:  prenatal and endocrinologist on Thursday

Weekly Wisdom: pregnancy exaggerates emotions- good, bad and ugly.

Milestones: growth scan

Bump Picture: 28 weeks!

Can you see what this picture is?  It is his head and shoulder profile, and both arms are up.  The one closer to us is out in front of his face, and the one away from us is wrapped up on his head.  I think little boy was napping during our scan today.  This was sadly the best picture we got.
