Other than that, I've been mostly relaxing since our visitors left. I made a lot of progress on my sewing projects this weekend and I will have some photos to show you all soon. I need to make a list of all the things I still need before Sprout gets here, and I'm afraid it might be a long list. I'd like to get everything done in the next couple of weeks just to be prepared.
Sprout is pretty much developed at this point and most of the rest of the time, s/he will just be filling out and getting bigger. The lungs are developed enough that if s/he was born today, s/he would probably survive! Aren't you curious to see what Sprout will look like?
How far along? 28 weeks
Total weight gain? I was doing great until this past doctor's appointment. Now I'm at about 23 lbs. I am sooooo excited to start working out again soon!
Maternity clothes? Mostly no. It's been so grossly humid here that I don't feel like wearing clothes at all.
Stretch marks? Eh, nothing new, but the ones on the underside of my boobs look worse than they did last week. I'm still slathering on cocoa butter like whoa.
Sleep? Weird. I'm really tired at night but I wake up after a couple of hours and can't get back to sleep until it starts to get light out. It's frustrating!
Best moment of the week? Passing my second glucose test. Seriously, that and the HIV test are the only ones I've passed so far.
Miss anything? Bending over without grunting, haha!
Movement? Lots and lots of movement that is pretty strong! Sometimes I can feel something round poking against my stomach but I can't tell if it's a head or a butt.
Food craving? I've been eyeing my basil plants out in the yard because as soon as there's enough, I'm making some pesto and feasting.
Anything make you sick or queasy? I think Belle has an ear infection again. Poor little gross dog.
Gender? It's been quite a challenge to keep the quilt neutral!
Labor signs? Nope. All good here.
Symptoms? My heartburn is getting worse. The sleeplessness is a problem and I get backaches after too much physical activity.
Belly button in or out? Neither? It looks so weird.
Wedding rings on or off? They're on, even though the humidity really tightens them up sometimes.
Happy or moody most of the time? I was totally moody before getting the results of my second glucose test. It didn't make me upset, it made me really angry! Seriously, I don't sit around eating Twinkies and drinking Mountain Dew. I don't like dessert and even prefer vegetables to fruit! How could this even be an issue?
Looking forward to? A chance to hang out with my favorite jet-setter! And I really need to get to the DMV this week.
Yay, an update...my new addition to my Monday checklist! I hope you keep this up after Sprout is born! You will have soooo much material to write about, and I really enjoy reading it.
ReplyDeleteUgh...I know how you feel about these tests. "Getting really good at failing tests," ha! Seriously, I know how you feel. When I was in the hospital for two weeks before the twins were born, they'd run some kind of test on me every day, and the results would always throw the nurses into a big tizzy and all of a sudden there'd be all this commotion in my room. And nothing was ever wrong. It does get annoying, but good to be cautious. That glucose test is not fun. At least you passed that, ultimately!
And yeah, you need to post some of the stuff that you've been making. Never in a million years would I have pictured you as a sewer. Ew, that's an ugly spelling. I mean, a sew-er. Seamstress. Whatever. Where'd you get that skill? Somehow I don't picture your mom teaching you?
I HATE to sew, so I'm super impressed!
Stay cool! You look beautiful! The bump suits you. :)
