Bump Update: 28 Weeks - 3rd Trimester!!!

Can I just say that there are a million things to consider when having a baby??  lol.  Seriously though.  And what is super frustrating is that the more educated I become, the more choices and decisions present themselves.  I don't feel like I can make so many decisions in just the 3 months that we have left (less than that really).  But I am confident that all will work out well.  God is watching over all 3 of us and has our best interest at heart.  He is all we need.

Belly!!!

Can't believe how much she is growing!
Growing, growing, growing!  Just 4 weeks ago I was NOT this big.  hehe.  Can't wait to see 4 more weeks.....


This week, baby is the size of a: Either one of my apps is ahead or the other is behind because one said cauliflower last week and the other said cauliflower this week.  Hmmmm....

Next appointment: Just had an appointment today.  Now that we are in our 3rd trimester, we go every two weeks instead of four.  So only two more weeks until I hear the pitter-patter of that precious little heart!


Total Weight Gain/Loss:  Slowly but surely.  No concerns from the doc so all is good!


Exercise: Walking and painting for the most part.  And we've started my Bradley Method exercises...which are basically just tailoring things I already do, like sitting or bending over.  Hoping to have a post all about this soon so I won't go into too much detail here.  :)

Maternity Clothes:  I still have those lucky couple pair of shorts (stretch material) that fit.  But other than that - maternity it is.  I've even started wearing maternity tops just so they aren't too short.  :P  

Sleep: Going well.  The only thing I can complain about is that if I wake up, even for a half of a second, I have to go to the bathroom.  There is no "holding it" until I fall back asleep these days.  If I have to go, I have to go.  This makes for about 4 or 5 trips to the bathroom every night (if not more).  Fun!  But the good news is I don't seem to have any trouble falling back asleep so that's nice.

Food Cravings/Aversions: Nope.


Movement: Oh boy!  Depends on the day but yesterday was insane!  Pretty sure it was because of the sugar drink for my glucose test...but wow!  If I was sitting, she was moving...everywhere!

What I Miss: Being able to fall back asleep without having to get up and go.  ;)


What I'm Loving: Preparing Sprout's room. Now that the paint is on the walls I feel like it is her room now.  And I just got a few bags of clothes from a friend and LOVED going through all those little outfits.  Can't wait to get them taken care of in their proper spots.  :)      


What I'm Looking Forward To: Being able to share this little one's name with the world...which won't be until her Birthday, but I am so in love with our name choice.  It is beautiful - meaning and all!    


Best Moment This Week: Sitting and feeling her move during lunch yesterday.  It was so unreal how much she was moving and how much I could feel.  What a miracle!


Milestones: THIRD TRIMESTER!!!!  Need I say more??


Goals: Get caught up in our garden with weeding and fertilizing (organically of course).  Finish painting boards for the ceiling in our room and Baby Girl's room.  Touch up nursery trim.
