28 Weeks!

HEEEEEEEEY Y'ALL! Happy Toosdee! Hope everyone's weeks are off to a great start. Guys, I really think that Spring is here to stay. Isn't that enough to make everyone smile?!

Silly selfies.

Not much to report this week, honestly. Still chipping away the nursery, still busily trying to entertain my gal on a limited reserve of energy, still feeling less than myself. BUT! Getting so, so, so excited that the big day is literally on the horizon. A little over TEN WEEKS. How is that even possible?! Do I say that too often?!?!?! Don't answer that.

Reading with nana in the new nursery!

Sampling smoothies at the grocery store...

Pig tails!!!! I was overly excited if you can't tell!

Out to dinner with Nana and Pops!

Before naps, must destroy something...

Train at the library (mama's attempt to wear me out)!

So, let's move right along to this big ole SEVEN MONTH bump!

I look stoked, don't I?

How far along?  28 weeks + 2 days!

Clothing? Have nearly given up caring about appearance because there's not enough time to care. Ei keeps me moving, nothing cute fits, that's just life...right?! (RIGHT!)

Stretch marks? Taking this question out next time, I think. The answer will probs forever be YES.

Sleep? Ugh, not great. Last night I woke up at 2 AM to pee and I was in so much pain...IDK if I was sleeping funny or if baby had been throttling me in my sleep, but my stomach was SO sore. Hoping I can catch up a bit this week, but probably not.

Best moment of this week? Special date FINALLY with T this weekend, watching Eileen REALLY WALK for the first time, and feeling countless kicks from my little one!!!

Worst moment of this week? Not feeling great but=standard.

Miss anything? I mean sure, but, super content with where we're at.

Movement? YES. This baby and Ei are like night and day, I tell ya. I remember constantly worrying about her, and while I've had a few quiet periods with sunny, they have been few and far between. He (we're gonna say he for now) is almost ALWAYS MOVING, and nowadays, kicking me HARD to the point where I'm actually quite sore. But I asked for that, didn't I?! I'll take that over worrying about kicks any days!

Symptoms? This week, nausea is back. I thought it was due to my glucose test (no results yet) but it has persisted now for a day and a half, not sure why. Sharp pains in my side when I pick up Ei sometimes, definitely asking the doc about that tomorrow. Sore tummy and ribs from hard kicks. Major hunger and thirst. Lots of unpleasant digestive and digestive-related issues. Oh, and major chubbiness. HA!

Food cravings? JUICE. Reeses easter eggs. Pasta.

Gender? I am super feeling boy all of the sudden.

Labor Signs? Nope.

Belly button in or out? Outoutout.

Mood? Getting to that funny weepy phase where I cry about everything. Starting to get SUPER sentimental about my remaining weeks with just Ei (mamas, any tips for managing this madness?!). But very happy, and very very very excited.

Milestones? Baby is regulating her own body temperature more and more, which is super cool. We are into the the third trimester, also super cool. Oh, and not Sunny related, but Eileen is ACTUALLY OFFICIALLY WALKING! WOOOOAH!

Looking forward to? My 28-week appt. (tomorrow), mine & T's 5 year anniversary of our first date on the 19th (cheesy?!), Easter, MORE SPRING WEATHER, and, duh...May 31!!!!

This week's pregnancy-small-talk-gems (aka things other people say to pregnant ladies without thinking): My mom's cleaning lady asked me if I was having twins. Honestly, if I were, don't you think I would find a way to let you know? Please, please, please. Don't ask!!!

And, in case you're interested, a bonus video of my toddler toddling...what a big girl. (And no, I cannot stop crying about it!)

Have a great and blessed week, all!
