28 Weeks - Start of my 3rd Trimester!!

How far along?  28 Weeks – The beginning of my 3^rd Trimester

Baby size?  A 2 – 2.5 pound eggplant

Maternity clothes?  YES, I’m thinking I’m going to need a pair of jeans; I have one pair of skinny maternity jeans however they are getting less and less comfortable. 

Stretch marks?  None yet, thanks to Burt’s Bee’s Belly Balm

Sleep? Some nights I don’t even have to get up, how amazing is that

Foods I am loving?  Fried Chicken, Baked Crispy Chicken and Subs

Foods I am hating?  None

Best moment of the week?  Standing up from a meeting and having the lady across get so excited saying “Oh my you are pregnant, how exciting”

Movement?  I can really feel her now, the movement is stronger and Jonathun can feel her too

Symptoms? OMG leg cramps at 5 AM, it hurt so bad that I woke Jonathun up AND Heartburn, which has also hit at 2 AM.  So some nights are better than others.

What I'm looking forward to?  My Mom, Sister-In-Law Terri, and nieces Juliana and Claire are coming to visit for the weekend. 

I can’t believe I only have 85 days to GO, that’s exciting and scary at the same time.  I have so much to do still, find a pediatrician, take a birthing class, take a breastfeeding class, organize the house, and buy Christmas presents…. I’ll start all of this next week and enjoy my weekend with my family but then it’s game time.

Nesting

My nesting has begun.  I cleaned out my pantry this week which felt awesome.  It is so organized, I love it.    Next up my closet and dresser.  Then I'll move onto the closets upstairs, the hope chest full of pictures, then the ATTIC.  The attic is a mess, we organized it at the beginning of this year but have been throwing stuff up there as we have been moving things around.  Jonathun has a hard time getting rid of things so I'm going to have to work on him or do some of this when he is not around :).  I also have the urge to change around my kitchen; however I know this will turn into a huge mess so I'll have to wait till I have more time and a game plan.  Tonight I am cleaning out our refrigerator and I plan on throwing away some of the condiments we never use.  Also I am going to vacuum our screened porch, this is to get ready for my Mom, Terri and nieces Juliana and Claire's visit.  They get here either late tomorrow night or first thing Friday morning, I can't wait.  Work has been super busy and it's going to get busier in the next month.  I just keep telling myself I need to get through the next three months then I will have a much needed break from Concentra.  I plan on having the entire house organized before the baby comes, let's see if I can make that happen....
