Week 28

It has actually been a fairly decent week.. YIPPEE!!! I have felt better and not nearly as emotional the last couple of days which is a huge plus. The first week of the last trimester. That sounds wonderful. Not as wonderful as the last week of the last trimester, but I'll take what I can get. I am going to Whitehorse next week to visit my mom and dad with my sister & Nelson and of course Dan & Jack. It should be a nice reprieve from everyday life. YEAH!

What I love: Feeling the baby move, not having to shave. Getting told I am a cute pregnant lady, even though I couldn't feel less attractive right now. 

What I hate: Hurting when I walk and the skin of a poor and unfortunate teenager. 

What I miss: Being normal, feeling good most of the time and just living a normal non pregnant life. 

 What I’m looking forward to the most:LIFE!!! And a sweet little baby. 

Worries: That I won't have everything ready and have a really long horrible labor.                                

Developments: ITCHY TUMMY!!!! And the line is getting darker. AND SOOO tired!  Wow, this baby must be growing. 

Mood:  Pretty good other then a little snappish once in a while. 

Sleep:Not too bad. I slept through the night two nights in a row without having to get up and pee. 

Movement: Yes and now it's making me have contractions just by moving so much. 

Bra Size: OK, so I gave in and am wearing my stupid C bra. And my nursing bra, because it's so stickin' comfortable. 

The belly (and the button!): Belly is beginning to itch incessantly and I am quit sure it's going to bug the heck out of me. And it's getting darker and very stretched looking. 

Wedding rings on or off: ON! My fingers stopped swelling, so I put the ring back on. 

Weight gain: 161 last time I weighed, but I haven't gotten on the scale this week. Probably around 162

Measurements: Belly: 39" Hips: 40.25" I don't know why my hips are smaller.... whatever... 

Exercise: Well not too bad, I had lots of pain while running a couple of days, but I still got in a couple of days and will probably finish the week off around nine or ten miles and one day working out and one day of prenatal palates. It works. I am still trying to get to 30 weeks and then I won't feel like I can't give up running.  

Eating: So, not so much... I just don't have the energy to track. I don't care any more. I am going to gain weight and I already feel so fat, that it's like it's really not worth the time and effort it takes. I haven't gone hog wild or anything, and I still sort of estimate in my head what I need to eat to not go over, but I just haven't tracked or cared that much. 

The weekly pics: 

This week, the baby is the size of a chinese cabbage and 2.25 pounds, though I wouldn't be surprised if this baby is heavier then that... And it's nearly 15 inches long. 

And here are the belly shots.
