28 weeks

I am 28 weeks today. I saw my midwife this morning. They performed my glucose test and I am hoping to hear nothing back from them. No news is good news! Some thoughts (that I took from another friend's site):

  • How far along? 28 weeks 0 days
  • Total weight gain? I have no idea. Honestly, I don't. I don't think I had lost much from Kaedmon's pregnancy so I think I am at about a 10 pounds gain.
  • How big is baby? The last I heard: 2 lbs. 6 ounces. That was a week ago so my guess now is between around 2 lbs. 12 oz.
  • Maternity clothes? Pants, yes. Shirts, not so much. I try to buy non-maternity shirts that are extra long. They are cheaper and I can wear them post-baby.
  • Stretch marks? None that are new. Just the same tiny ones at the very bottom of my tummy that seem to fade after the baby is born.
  • Sleep? Joke. I can't sleep. It's been a few years since I slept through the night so I am not even referring to a lack of sleep. It's the quality I speak of. I haven't gone one single night of the past few months without vivid dreams and restlessness. I sleep sitting straight up most of the time or on one side. She kicks half the night and when she isn't kicking, I am peeing. If I am not peeing, another child is awake. I figure I'll sleep again when I'm 50.
  • Movement? I don't think she ever stops.
  • Food cravings? Soda. French fries. Nothing good for me.
  • Labor signs? I hope not! Just the same achiness, pressure, and infrequent contractions. This pregnancy is very similar to my pregnancy with Sammy.
  • Belly button in or out? Depends on her position, how much I am eating, and the position I am in.
  • What I am looking forward to? Seeing what a King girl looks like.
  • Milestone: For the first time in 5 pregnancies, I have varicose veins on the back of my knee. OUCH!!!!! I also begin my 3rd trimester today!!!
