Weekly Updates:
How far along: 28 weeks
Baby’s size: Chinese Cabbage – Your baby is equal in weight to a chinese cabbage — about 2.25 pounds. (Length: almost 15 inches, head to heel.)
Sleep: I have still been sleeping fabulously. Once I get to sleep I am not waking up every three hours which is tremendous for me. However, no matter how much sleep I get, I still seem to fight the drowsies all day.
Maternity Clothes: Yep. Even though my stretchy jeans are starting to fit regularly which means I might need another pair before the end.
Food Cravings: I have been craving tons of sweets lately. I just can’t seem to get enough of them. That is possibly why I have put on a little bit of weight in the last month. I will most likely get a scolding from the doctors again. C’est la vie.
Food Aversions: Spicy. I still can’t handle a bit of spice. It is completely opposite of Pixel’s pregnancy.
Symptoms I have: Still have the heartburn on an every-other day basis. I am definitely starting to waddle as Sprout likes to hang out down low. It makes moving after sitting down a little rough.
Doctor’s Appointment: Once again our Midwife had to reschedule, so now our appointment with her is on Thursday (maybe). We were waiting to tell her in person we were leaving, but I finally just texted her because I don’t want her to keep rescheduling until we are gone and we need copies of our charts. *sigh* The upside is we get to see Sprout tomorrow at our MFM ultrasound appointment! I am totally excited. Besides the fact it has been 4 weeks since we have heard Sprout, it has been 6 weeks since we saw baby. Totally loving the ultrasound glimpses.
Movement: Regularly. Sprout likes to kick one side only for the most part. I finally felt a kick on the other side the other day, but it was just a couple kicks and then back to normal. I say “kicks” because I can’t quite distinguish all the body parts yet through my extra insulation. Maybe in a few more weeks I can be more definite in what’s going on.
Belly Button: Level.
Gender: Team Yellow!
What I’m looking forward to: Finishing up the packing and getting this show on the road!
What I miss: I’m not missing much this week. At least not where pregnancy is concerned. I am loving being pregnant and am trying to enjoy every minute of it since I know how fast it can disappear.
