How far along? 28 weeks
Total weight gain: Up 2 pounds total as of my last appointment.
Maternity clothes? Yes.
Sleep: I’m sick. And I have to pee a lot. And my kid crawls into bed with us at some point. So I wake up about 15 times a night. We’ve had family visiting and now that they’re gone, I plan on napping a lot and going to bed early.
Food cravings: Meh. Nothing jumps out at me.
Best moment this week: Passing my 1 hour glucose test by 1 whole point. Woo!
Movement: Yes. Not quite as active as usual, but he goes through quiet times every now and then.
Gender: Boy.
Labor Signs: None.
Belly Button in or out? Flattish and poking out.
What I miss: Just the physical stuff. Like being able to get off the couch or bed without help. Putting on my shoes without planning and grunting. The usual.
What I am looking forward to: Our 3D ultrasound.
Weekly Wisdom: Don’t get sick. It sucks and sucks more since there is very little you can take that actually works.
Milestones: Third Trimester! And 28 weeks sounds like a big deal. I think my next big deal week is 30. No reason. Just what my head tells me.
I would normally add a bunch of stuff about how 2009 was so great and reflect on how my life has improved and how 2010 will be so much better, but really? No. Can’t. Just can’t. I feel like ever-loving crap and have for a week or so. My entire face is leaking all over the place and my head feels like someone stuffed cotton in it. I’m constantly coughing this scratchy, painful, make you throw up hacking cough. And I’m pregnant, so not a damn thing I can do about it. I’ve had family here for a couple days and I’ve had to fake every second, including Chuck E Cheese for my nephew’s 1st birthday today. So just not gonna happen this year. I’ll try to eventually get around to a year in review type post with some resolutions tossed in for good measure, but it’s going to be late.
And we’re all just going to have to be ok with that.
