28 Weeks - Aubrey

I'm now in the 3rd trimester - yay!!  I am already feeling HUGE and I think I'm starting to waddle.  Obviously, I want Aubrey to stay put until she is full-term...but I have to be honest and say that I am so ready to not be pregnant anymore (and to meet her!).






Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 28 weeks, 5 days

Size of baby: weighs about two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. (according to babycenter.com)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I've gained 22.5 lbs total as of my appointment at 27 weeks. So, this means I gained 7 lbs between my 23 and 27 week appointments - yikes.

Maternity Clothes: of course!

Gender: girl - Aubrey Lauren

Movement:  I noticed her moving quite a lot this week, but we were on vacation and things were a little slower...so I had more time to notice!

Sleep:  I did not sleep all that well this week, but I'm pretty sure it was because the bed in our vacation condo was too soft.  Not that I sleep great at home (can't get comfortable and have to pee all the time) but this week was especially difficult. 

Symptoms: of course, still having to pee all.the.time. and lots of aches and pains that do not seem to be going away.  I am afraid it is only going to get worse as I get bigger and bigger.  I've also been having more lower back aches.

What I miss: right now, I am mostly missing being able to sleep on my back and not having the aches and pains!

Cravings: this week it was mostly ice cream!  (and we ate a LOT of ice cream on vacation)

Best moment this week:  our vacation to Panama City Beach - we had a blast!

What I am looking forward to: umm...hopefully picking a paint color for Aubrey's room (no, still haven't done that yet!) and maybe starting to get her room cleaned out (if I can find the energy)
