Pregnancy Highlights:
How far along: 28 weeks
Maternity clothes: None of my outfit today is maternity! This never would have been possible when I was pregnant with Bryce. Most days I've been wearing everything maternity.
Gender: It's a girl. Jason has been coming up with all sorts of names. This week he likes Haley, Riley, and Darla. Darla has quite the story behind it, ha! I'm not sure I want to name a child after a Little Rascals character.
Movement: This little girl is a night owl. Hopefully she will quickly/easily adjust her sleep/wake periods when she arrives! Last night I thought she was throwing a party in my belly she was moving so much. Maybe she was enjoying the sugar high from my glucose test yesterday! I'm thinking I will hear the results tomorrow since I didn't hear anything today.
Sleep: Sleeping like a champ! Just an occasional bathroom break around 4, which gives me just a little more time to sleep before the alarm goes off.
Cravings: FOOD! Candy, ice cream, hot chocolate, snacks, you name it! I'm not necessarily indulging in all of the cravings though.
Symptoms: Growing belly. My belly always feels like it's stretching and growing.
Total weight gain: 14.5 pounds (that half a pound is a big deal because I didn't gain a whole pound this week!). I ate really well for two days to ensure good results on the glucose test (even though I really wasn't worried), so I'm sure I will be back to a pound a week this week.
What I miss: After reading another blog yesterday, I'm really going to miss champagne and brie at my annual fourth grade Christmas party!
Best moment of the week: hearing a strong heartbeat at the doctor yesterday and getting a good report. I was really excited when the doctor measured me and said I was right on track and I was all baby. I was all fat with Bryce, ha!
What I'm looking forward to: I got an email today with UPS shipment confirmation on the nursery bedding. It should be here by Friday. Then I will be able to pick a paint color and put my mom to work!

yes, champagne/wine and brie will be missed but think about all the thanksgiving dinner and christmas sweets we get to eat with zero guilt since we're "eating for two" =) haha Bring it.
