Week 28 Pregnancy Update

By -

How Far Along? 28 weeks
Weight Gain? 13 pounds
Maternity Clothes? I can't find any cute extra large maternity shirts at Ross and I'm starting to get desperate. I've been mostly wearing Josh's shirts this week because they actually cover my tummy. The shirt in this picture barely covers it!
Stretch Marks? I've found a couple new ones behind my knees and on my upper thighs.
Best Moment This Week? Finding out today that Josh is gonna bring me home a sweet snack since I've been craving something sweet for three days straight.
Movement? Tons! Weeks 26, 27 and 28 are supposed to be the busiest weeks for baby during pregnancy and he is definitely doing a good job of validating that!
Food Cravings: Chocolate peanut butter stuff and buttered toast.
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Nope! I can pretty much stomach whatever I want!
Gender? Boy
Labor Signs? Braxton Hicks happen a bunch at night and occasionally during the day.
Symptoms? My gums have been swelling still and my acne has flared up over the last week.
Happy or Moody? Moody. My hormones have been a bit on the fritz, making me more emotional over silly things.
Belly Button, In or Out? Out
Wedding Ring, On or Off? My real ring is too small and my fake one is too big, so I don't really wear a ring unless I leave the house right now.
Looking Forward To? Josh's day off this week! I've been nesting like crazy so Josh agreed to go through our odds and ends boxes to try and clean out the storage room.

Thanks for reading!

I tried something new with my hair. What do you think? How Far Along? 36 weeks Total Weight Gain: 23 pounds Maternity Clothes? Yep! It's kinda sad though, Josh's shirts can hardly cover my tummy anymore! Stretch Marks? Tons! Although they're already starting to fade quite a bit. Sleep:  My sleep has been pretty good so far this week. Best Moment This Week: Going out to Costa Vida for our date night! Miss Anything? Nothing that I haven't already mentioned. Movement: Lots! He really hasn't slowed down since his peak at 28 weeks. My doc said he should slow down soon but I have a feeling he's just going to keep on kickin'. I think this might mean that I'm going to have a wild child on my hands further down the road. Food Cravings: Chili's bacon ranch quesadillas and their cookie brownie with ice cream on top. Yum yum yum! Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Fish, eggs, and peppermint Gender: Boy Labor Signs: None yet! I think Lincoln i...

Lincoln 7 Week Update

I just wanted to write a quick update on how my little peanut is doing! Lincoln is getting stronger every day! He held his head up for a whole two minutes a few days ago and his stepping reflex is working like crazy whenever I try to make him bear weight on his legs. I've got a little body builder baby! He's starting to become more aware of what's going on around him. I'll walk around with him and he's always trying to look at everything, especially our bookcases. He just loves it! He's starting to hold onto toys! I put his baby keys in his hand and he held onto them for dear life! He's starting to get interested in different sounds, he's even turning toward them! As you can see, he's smiling now! He'll smile a lot when you talk to him in a baby voice and when you make cooing noises at him. He's making more cooing sounds himself! I think he's realizing that he has a voice.  Lincoln loves his daddy so mu...

Something Terrible Happened

By -
I'm not sure exactly how to start this post, but I know it needs to be written. I don't want to forget this experience even though it feels so painful. Last week, I was a little over 4 weeks along and my prenatal vitamins came in the mail. I was diligently making a pregnancy test chart to compare the darkness of the test lines from the day before. I was feeling so much better than I did before our pregnancy loss last year (the second line was visible for a day and then the line disappeared and my cycle started soon after) since the test line was clearly visible, even from an arms length away. The day after I started my vitamins, I noticed that my nausea had basically gone away, something I was thrilled about since I hate feeling sick like that. My skin started breaking out worse than it had all week and I chalked it up to pregnancy hormones. We had my in-laws over for Mother's Day and just before we started cooking up S'mores, I felt a wave of depression hit me. I ...
