28 Weeks.

How far along? 28 weeks + 1 day.
Total weight gain: About 13 lbs.
Maternity clothes? I'm trying to use the power of positive thinking to bring some warmer weather this way! I bought two very spring-y dresses this week and while neither are from the maternity section, they are soft, flowy and STRETCHY so I think I'll be able to make them work till the end!
Stretch marks? Still none! 
Sleep: Definitely on the decline. I've heard that sleep tends to disappear once you hit the third trimester so I guess that's what's going on! I probably don't say this often enough, but I am incredibly lucky that I'm able to be a stay at home (almost) mama so I have the opportunity to nap during the day if I need to! 
Best moment this week: I ordered baby girl's first bows the other day!! I've been waiting to do this since we found out what we are having and I can't wait to see them when they get here :)
Miss Anything? My hubby!! :(
Movement: Allllllll the time. Her favorite thing to do lately (especially in the evenings) is ball up on my right side and send out little jabs from there!
Food cravings: Sweets on sweets on sweets. And buffalo chicken pizza. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope, feeling good!
Labor Signs: Still nothing. Now that I'm getting closer to the end, I'll have to start keeping an eye out for these, but hopefully I won't experience any for a few more weeks!
Symptoms: I got hit with the WORST headaches two different days this week. Headaches that I haven't experienced since wayyy back in the first trimester. Hopefully it was just random and not something I'm going to be dealing with for the next twelve weeks! Other than that, I've noticed that my knees are super sore  :( My back and hips are feeling a bit better though and I think it has a lot to do with THIS support band I ordered! I wear it when I walk the dog/run errands/spend a lot of time on my feet and I really have noticed a big difference in my comfort level!
Belly Button in or out?  Kind of half in and half flat? I'm interested to see how it looks by the end!
Wedding ring on or off? On, but a little tight sometimes!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! But definitely a little extra emotional. Remind me not to look at birth photos online, especially not photos of dads seeing their babies for the first time! Hello tears!
Looking forward to: My appointment on Wednesday (minus the icky glucose drink) and then my dad's arrival on Friday! :)

This week I dealt with one of the less pleasant parts of military life and I said "see you soon" to one of my very best friends :(
I met Maggie just before our husbands deployed together last year, and while the guys were gone we became basically inseparable. She and her family are headed to California for her husband's next duty assignment and I can't even tell you how much I'll miss my favorite shopping partner, fellow Sam Hunt fanatic, and pizza & beer loving bestie. Love you Mags!

On a more positive note, I am so excited to see the sun out today! It drizzled freezing rain ALL day yesterday and nothing makes the day drag on more than being stuck inside! I know I'm not the only one excited about some outside time today... 
So on that note, have a wonderful weekend! :)
