Hello Third Trimester!!!
Yay! Today marks 28 weeks - the official start of the third trimester! Things have been going considerably well since I last updated.
Size of baby: Baby boy weighs about 2.5 pounds and is around 16 inches long.
Symptoms: Still feeling pretty good. I have some back pain that comes and goes in the middle of my back, right underneath the left shoulder blade. I also have a little bit of lower back pain that sends some shooting pains down my butt. I seem to feel these the most after a long day at work. I'm also surprised to see that my ankles have started to swell (especially on warm days). I don't have an ankle bone by the end of the day - hello cankles!
Weight Gain: +29 lbs (since 11 weeks) Am I worried about my weight gain? NOT ONE BIT! I've waited so long to be pregnant, I could care less about the extra pounds. My mom loves teasing me about my new chubby cheeks. :)
Cravings: Fruit smoothies for breakfast & barbecue chips to complement my sandwich for lunch. NO cravings whatsoever for dinner.
Aversions: Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing, Caprese salads, and Lobster Bisque.
Sleep: Still trying hard to stay sleeping on my sides. I'm waking up to pee 2-3 times a night. I'm liking a pillow in between my legs more than my body pillow.
Maternity Clothes: New favorite maternity shop - Preggers Maternity in Chicago. I found my shower dress there! The weather is really starting to warm up here so next thing on the shopping list is SHORTS and SKIRTS.
What I Miss: This one will not change - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
What I'm Looking Forward To: The month of JUNE! Work Shower on June 6th, Birthing Classes that start June 7th, Maternity photos June 18th, and Family/Friends Shower on June 23rd.
Special Pregnancy Moments: I passed my glucose test! I love how my little girls at school talk to the baby. He gets MANY hugs every day - so cute!
Bump Update: This isn't your traditional bump pic, but all I have for 28 weeks. This was taken Mother's Day of me relaxing at the pool after my spa treatment. :)
