28 Weeks Pregnancy Update
4:52 PM28 Weeks
How far along: 28 Weeks...and just like that, I am officially in my THIRD (and final) trimester and entering the 7th month of pregnancy. Wow!
Size of Baby: The size of a coconut or a head of cauliflower !
Weighing about 1kg already!
Gender: Not going to find out :)! Praying for a healthy, full term baby.( Still feeling boy though)
Movement: I love feeling him or her move. This baby is so very
active. It melts my heart when I first wake up in the morning and say
something and then a few short seconds later the baby moves. We can see the baby move every night and he/she is
doing full on acrobatic movements, I swear! Watching my belly roll is
pretty crazy.
Sleep: I get very tired at night, accompanied by a night of me
tossing and turning on repeat. Waking up for bathroom breaks. Then more
tossing and turning. All worth it, of course! I just feel so bad for Jacques that has to go to work after enduring an entire night of me keeping him awake while I'm home and can always take a nap if the day gets to much.
Workouts: I do a series of stretches every morning (I fail over weekends though). I also so some pelvic floor strengthening exercises as well as some basic all round body exercises.
Symptoms: Sometimes a sore lower back, still having some random cramp like
feelings, and fatigue. Other that that I feel absolutely great. Honestly I can say that I am blessed to be Having quite an "easy" pregnancy.
Cravings/Aversions: My aversion for mushrooms is finally gone and to celebrate, I made a mushroom and caramelized onion potato bake. Way Yummy!
Nursery: To be honest we have done absolutely nothing. We have some plans and should probably start getting things ready but as of yet, we still have to start...EEEEK!
Can't Wait For: Being only 12 weeks away, I really cannot wait
for November and knowing that in such a short time, I will I hold this little one
in my arms. The love I have for this baby is unlike any love I could
ever describe. My life's dream is to be a Mommy and I cannot wait to
meet this life my husband and I created. Our baby is my greatest joy, I
cannot wait to know and care for him or her outside of my body.
