28 Weeks - Third Trimester!









As you can see I pretty much live in my maternity leggings. I have a few different pair but thought I would share with my pregnant friends the link to my favorite ones. These are thick, great support, and the belly goes up all the way and doesn't show the big indention middle of your belly. For size reference I have a Small.  I think they do run a bit big, so if you have a smaller lower half with your hips/butt, I bet an XS would work.   

HERE is the link for Target!

They might actually be in store, but I'm lazy and didn't want to dig to find them since I got the recommendation offline from someone else! :)


How far along: 28 weeks - 7 Months

Size of baby:  Head of Cauliflower (16in, 2.5lbs)
Sleep:  Hm, that would be awful! ha Between constant bathroom breaks, insane vivid dreams ALL night, and broken hips.. not happening. I have reached the point of extreme, extreme pain when laying down.  This is definitely the point I actually prefer the crazy newborn wakeup nights over painful  nonexistent sleep!
Symptoms:  The worst is definitely the hip, back pain I mentioned above.  This belly grows by the minute is seems.  Anything like putting on shoes or socks, painting my toenails, etc is a whole ordeal.  Lance came into the bedroom Saturday and I was on the floor so out of breath and he asked what happened.. oh ya know, just trying to get my socks on! lol The one plus about being big in the spring/summer last time was I lived in maxi dresses and flip flops.  The heartburn is also here and can be INTENSE.  Tums are my new best friend.
Miss anything:  My body!
Movement:   He moves mostly in the morning and at night.  He is still pretty calm during the day which isn't good.. that baby needs to get his days and nights figured out NOW. Yea, right.  A girl can dream. 
Food cravings:  Still loving carbs and sweets here.  No specific food as always. One thing I do really enjoy that is the same as Tilly's pregnancy is the Hershey's white chocolate peppermint bars that come out for Christmas. Yum!

Best moment this month/looking forward to:  Just getting closer and closer to meeting this baby and feeling human again! I have my 28 week apt on Friday, which is the glucose test. Fingers crossed all goes well and I pass the first time around like I did before.  We are also getting everything all ready for Christmas and then I'll be having my baby shower for this sweet boy early next month.  Can't believe it's all coming together so fast. The holidays will definitely make the next month or so fly by and then it'll be SO CLOSE! ah!
