28 Week BumpWatch!

How far along? 28 weeks, 5 days today!

Weight gain/loss: I was excited because I hadn't gained too much from my last appointment until the one I had this Tuesday, but at this point I'm up 26 lbs.

Feeling: It's been way too hot for my liking and so I feel like that's really slowing me down and making me very cranky.  I need a nap...

Maternity clothes? Just got a new shirt from the clearance rack at JcPenney's for $7.  Thanks Mom!

Sleep: It's been rough in that it's hard to flip over and bring the body pillow with me.  And for some reason, Bailey keeps trying to get as close to me as possible.  Maybe she's "nesting"...ha.

Food cravings: Fresh fruit has been amazing and any kind of frozen treat like frozen lemonade or ice cream.

Movement? Not as much as the last time I posted, but he's still moving around every day.

What I miss? My old clothes.  The novelty of getting to wear "new stuff" is over and I wish I could fit into some of my other summer skirts.

Best moment this week: Our doctor's appointment this week on Tuesday went great!  Baby's cysts on his brain have dissolved on their own, he's head down, he's growing right on track for where he should be, the doctor thinks I'll go early again like with Sean, and I got to have a phone consultation with an anesthesiologist who thinks that I can get an epidural during my VBAC, but it will be harder to put in and may take several attempts.

What I'm looking forward to: The weekend Up North with both sides of the family!  The 4th of July holiday!

Next Appointment: I'm on to 2 week appointments now!  So, I go back on Tuesday, July 10th at 9:50am with Dr. Salem

Milestones: Baby Evan weighs roughly 2 and 1/2 lbs. and can blink his eyes open and shut.  He can see the light filter through the womb and moves to react to it.  He's adding lots of body fat this week as well to prepare for life on the outside.  Maybe that's contributing to my total weight gain.  :)
