28 Weeks

Nothing too exciting here lately. I'm having some back pain but not in my lower back, instead it's up towards the middle and top part of my back (like around my shoulder blades). Almost as if I've pulled muscles from leaning over. I find myself constantly leaning back then leaning forward trying to relieve the pain. It's not from bad posture because I focus on my posture a lot (especially now that I'm pregnant) so I'm not sure. Guess it's just one of the things we deal with :)  I sit a lot for my job and of course traveling, etc... so I try to find reasons to get up every so often (even if it's just to stand behind my chair or walk around for a few minutes). I'll be glad when this month is over and I can go back to getting off work at 5 and going straight home and laying on the couch lol!  I definitely need that!!!

Overall though, I'm feeling really good and she's doing great!

How far along? 28 Weeks and 2 days

Size of Baby: According to What to Expect.com, a small cabbage - 17 inches and 3 pounds

Total Weight Gain/Loss: well, I'm not too happy with it but my total weight gain since pre-pregnancy is 18 pounds...I put on 10 in the whole second trimester, none in the first trimester, and 8 in the last 4 weeks!! AHHHH!!!
 

Maternity clothes? of course
 

Stretch marks? one :(

Gender: girl

Belly Button In/Out: still in but very shallow lol!

Wedding rings on or off? On 

Sleep: we are back to the crazy dreams and my sleep hasn't been too great...can't get comfortable (both temp wise and comfort wise)

Movement: all the time!!!

Food cravings: I'm not officially on the sweet kick. I spent the first two trimesters not really caring for sweets and now every time I eat something I feel I need dessert -- could be where the 8 pounds in 4 weeks came from lol!

Best Moment This Week: the dresser for the nursery arrived!!! pretty excited about that

Miss Anything? sleep or couch time

What I am looking forward to: putting the dresser together...hopefully Jared and I will see each other long enough in the next 7 days to get that accomplished!!!


Have you started to show yet? yup!
