All wrapped up! Weeks 28-30.

My mornings: I still hate mornings. I have never been more aware of my hips and knees before now.

My nights: I can't sleep more than an hour at a time. The pain in my hips is excrutiating sometimes. If I don't have to get up to pee, I have to walk around to get circulation back in my legs.   

How far along: 28 - 30 weeks. Week 31 will be in a separate post.

How big is baby: Baby He-Man is over 3 pounds and over 16 inches.

Weight:

Starting weight: 130

Total weight gain: 29

This week: 159
  

How I’m changing: My goodness the belly is growing fast now.

What I miss: Warm weather and sleep.

Symptoms: Heartburn. More difficulty breathing. Lots of stomach movement.

Cravings: Nothing out of the ordinary right now.

Food Aversions: Nothing.

Highlights this week: DH got the chair rail installed and the dresser is coming along. I have given Dad and DH a deadline for getting it completed. It's going to look so pretty!

 

Maternity clothes: Yep. Couldn't live without them.

Stretch marks: I have them on both butt cheeks but none on my belly.

Sleep: I wish. That's all.

Movement: His movements have slowed down some. Less twitching and little jerking movements but a lot more big punches and feeling arms and legs moving all over.

Gender: We're Team He-Man!

Labor signs: I have had a few Braxton Hicks contractions this week. They're coming at the end of the day after I've been up moving around and haven't rested enough. I keep thinking I still have that 2nd Tri energy and stamina but am quickly realizing that is not true anymore.

Belly button: I thought I would have an outie by now, but the innie is still holding on.

What I am looking forward to: I am looking forward to my next appointment. I want to talk to the docs about labor and what to expect with hospital procedures. 

 

Milestones: I am down to single digit weeks now!!!!
