28 Weeks :: Belly Poppin'

Hi, I'm only 12 weeks away from my due date. Holy shitballs.

I had my first baby shower over the weekend. It was so great. We had family and family friends there and I felt so loved. I have a really hard time with attention, so the fact that it was coed and half of that attention was directed at Tyler made it a little easier on the anxiety-scale. Still not a fan of the whole opening gifts in front of everyone tradition but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Went to the doctor for our last monthly appointment on Monday. Now I have one in 3 weeks and then every two weeks and starting in January, EVERY WEEK. Crazy crazy crazy. Oh, and no gestational diabetes! Woo!

Did you know Baby H has doubled in size over the past month? CRAZY. No wonder everyone keeps looking at me sideways and saying "wow you really popped recently". Thanks, there's a 2.5 pound human in my uterus, probably sitting on my bladder, at the moment. :)

How far along? 28 weeks!
Size of baby: I guess he's STILL an eggplant.
Total weight gain/loss: +12
Stretch marks? Holding strong in this department.
Sleep: Pretty darn good. Only getting up once, maybe twice to pee. Hope this keeps up.
Best moment this week: Oh, the baby shower. I just love seeing my loved ones together in one place. Such a fun time.
Worst moment this week: Well, I only had one emotional breakdown that I can think of. But who knows what the hell it was about.
Movement: All over the place. Baby H can now maneuver his way up to my ribs so that's really pleasant feeling. Ha.
Food cravings: Lots and lots of cereal.
Sex: Baby boy!
Labor Signs: Negative.
Belly Button in or out? In but creeping toward the surface.
What I miss: This week it's feeling like I can breathe properly. Sometimes I literally feel like I just jogged a mile and I'm only laying down.
What I am looking forward to: Friend baby shower on the 20th and finally getting the nursery painted!
Weekly Wisdom: Take pictures of yourself every week. I feel like the biggest idiot doing it but going back and looking at how my belly has grown is really cool.
Milestones: Big belleh!
