28 Weeks

WOW! 28 Weeks...aka I've officially started the THIRD and final trimester! I'm now SEVEN months pregnant...I've been saying this a lot lately but seriously, where did the time go?! I feel like I just found out I was pregnant and now I'm a whopping seven months?! AH! And the due date countdown is now at 84 days. HOLY COW! Moment to minorly freak out please...I just cannot believe that she will be joining the world that soon! I am still coping with the exit plan, hopefully in the next 84 days I will come to terms with the inevitable. I'm sure by the time her due date rolls around I will be so excited to meet her it won't matter...I hope. ;-)

How Far Along: 28 Weeks

Size of Baby: 2.25 pounds and about 14.8 inches tall!


Total Weight Gain: 13lbs

Maternity Clothes: Yes!

Gender: Sweet little GIRL!

Movement: Still a ton of movement. I do get a little freaked out when I can tell I'm feeling a foot/elbow/butt (not sure which I am ever feeling...but I know it's hard!). Movement now is just so different from the first little flutters! I also LOVE watching my belly at night. She literally rolls around and it's the neatest thing to watch. She has also started kicking and moving enough that I can see her movement through my shirt.

What I miss: Other than the Hubster, not too much. :-( Countdown: 25 days!!!!!

Cravings: Chick-fil-a...but who doesn't LOVE Chick-fil-a?! Grapes, Doritos (that's a new one), and kettle corn (convenient that we're still SO far away from fall! ha!)

Symptoms: My belly is feeling SO tight lately. I just don't know where she's going to go these next several months! I feel like I'm running out of room already! ha! Check back in with me at 39 weeks and see how I'm doing then compared to now ;-)

Best Moment of The Week: Spending time with my best friend Rachel and working on nursery projects with my Mom and Dad! We (I use that term loosely, my Mom has done almost ALL of the work! She's awesome!) have been working on an old dresser that we found at a local resale shop that will also be the changing table in the nursery! Look for a post about this soon, it's not quite done yet! We are also right in the middle of finishing up the rocking chair for the nursery! It's the flea market rocking chair that I wrote about HERE. It is DARLING! I can't wait to share! I also have a "new" antique low dresser thanks to my wonderful dad! I seriously have the BEST dad EVER! He was my personal carpenter all weekend helping fix up and repair both dressers! One literally had to be completely re-built! Look for a bunch of fun furniture posts to come soon!

What I'm looking forward to: Finishing up baby projects with my parents and my baby shower next weekend!

Baby Bump


I'll leave you with a few pictures of one of my little darlings being extra cute...


Uh huh...she completely shredded an entire paper towel right at my feet! Little stinker! She even looks guilty!

honestly, child birth is a breeze. Don't listen to people's horror stories! They're just being dramatic :)

I had two very dramatic deliveries, but even after needing medical interventions for both, I can assure you that it's not as bad as you are anticipating! Don't worry about it! It's going to be a beautiful experience!

Ahhh! You're such a cute lil preggo! I was as big as a house, so I'm jealous! :)
And you're right...by the end you're just gonna want that little bundle OUT!!

The exit plan was what scared me the most with my first! Once I was on the operating table I was begging the dr to just get the baby out, knock me out, do whatever but I could not do vaginal OR Csection but I was ready to have the baby out. Unfortunately, he told me it was one or the other! haha Nice, thanks doc!
You still look adorable! ;)
And your dog is cute! Be glad the little stinker didn't attack an entire ROLL of papertowels! Been there, done that. ha
