Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 28 weeks 2 days
Size of Baby: Over 2 pounds.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 18 lbs
Maternity Clothes: I had a rotation of about 5 outfits that I was quickly getting sick of until yesterday, when I received a care package from Helen with a whole fresh wardrobe of maternity clothes. I was actually excited to get out of my pajamas today!
Movement: She’s an active little one! Movements are frequent and powerful- I feel like I can almost grab an arm or foot at times. She seems to respond a lot to chocolate and Brice’s voice. Those are two things I can definitely guarantee in our house! And in abundance!
Symptoms: I am really still feeling great, but I’m getting more uncomfortable (back and feet especially) and tire easily. I am nearly out of breath just walking up the stairs. Who am I kidding, I am out of breath just getting dressed or rolling from one side to the other in bed! After running several errands on Sunday, I was so wiped out and came to terms with the fact that I really need to slow down my pace and not try to do so much.
What I Miss: Moving and thinking quickly.
Health/Exercise: Spinning, running/walking and yoga continue, and Helen also sent some prenatal workout DVDs that I will start trying as well.
Belly button In or Out: It’s a flattie right now. It’s kind of fascinating.
Cravings: Tangerines, Indian food, Thai food, Ethiopian food, and as always, sweets
Accomplishments: I signed up for Amazon Mom and ordered our first box of 84 Newborn diapers to have on hand…. Which I then found out will last us less than a week!!!
My favorite products: I ADORE my Kindle. I can’t believe I held out all this time before getting one. I am reading so much more now and take it everywhere with me. During my sleepless nights, I can read for awhile without getting out of bed or disturbing Brice. I’ve just finished Cutting for Stone (which explains the Ethiopian food craving above).
Best Moment This Week: Getting a whole new maternity wardrobe
