28 Weeks: What I Know Now

28weeks

  1. I am deathly sick with a cold in this picture… if I looked at the camera, you would have thought I was dead.
  2. We’re officially in our third trimester. I am starting to feel like this takes f o r e v e r.
  3. I’m noticing the extra weight making its way to the bottom half of my body. It certainly puts my feelings about my pre-pregnant body in perspective.
  4. I feel great most of the time. My least favorite times of the day are getting into bed, getting out of bed, putting my shoes on, and sneezing {ouch!}
  5. I am T minus 2 weeks away from permanently misplacing my belly button.
  6. I have indigestion every day. Not a big deal, I just have to eat smaller meals and keep Tums handy.
  7. I’ve finally found the skin routine that seems to be working: prescription wash in the morning, witch hazel at night, turning my pillow over every other night, and changing my pillowcase every four nights.
  8. My husband and I used to sit in the hot tub often. Even though I can’t get in the hot tub anymore, I still love sitting on the edge, putting my feet in and chatting with my husband. It’s still one of my favorite times of the day.
  9. My husband and I have settled on a name. The problem is, the name he has settled on is different than the name I have settled on.
  10. When my husband talks, the baby kicks.
  11. As we’ve gotten more physically prepared, I’ve gotten more mentally ready to have a baby in the house.
  12. Several times now I’ve woken up in the middle of the night to severe hip pain. I guess my hips are widening {as if that’s necessary}.
  13. I think I’m ready for the next size up in maternity jeans. You don’t stay in one size for too long before you move into the next!
  14. My go-to maternity clothes are my H&M maternity jeans, H&M black pants {not available online}, Old Navy Hoodie, and my sweats!
  15. That little red and white onesy in the background of the picture was the outfit I was supposed to come home from the hospital in when my mom thought I was going to be a boy. My name was going to be Ryan.
