28

How far along?  28 weeks, only 12 left!  I am in my 7th month of pregnancy, and find myself wondering, ¨Where the hell has the time gone?!¨  This week, Baby Lorenz is the size of a large eggplant, or according to PregnantChicken.com, he pretty close to the size of a chihuahua!
 
Total weight gain/loss: I'm not sure where I am at now, but I suspect that I am gaining about a pound a week, so I'm guessing close to being up 18 lbs?

Maternity clothes?  Yes.
 
Stretch marks? Nope

Symptoms: I cant eat as much, and when I do eat too much and bend over, I feel it start to come back up.  Time to start eating while reclined!  My hips and lower back become fatigued more quickly.

Sleep: I'm still loving my snoogle, though now I am getting to the point where no matter how much sleep I get, I wake up several times during the night to flip over or adjust the dogs, so it's not a very restful sleep.  I feel almost as tired as I did during the beginning of the 1st trimester.

Best moment this week: My mom gave me my first Mother's Day gift this year.  I wasn't expecting anything, since I don't really consider myself a mom until this kid is on the outside, but it was definitely nice to be thought of.  Here's my haul of baby clothes:

Newborn Onesies

Sweet little bibs

Smartwool Baby Booties!

The most adorable sleeper.  Ever.

Have you told family and friends: Everyone knows.

Miss Anything? My smaller boobs.  These new ones keep getting in the way!

Movement: He starting to kick higher up near my ribs.  If I am sitting in a slouched position, he loves to remind me that I am taking up some of his space by giving me a big kick when I'm in his way.  His movements also make me think that he's attempting to break out.  He's getting so strong in there!

Food cravings: I'm the most boring pregnant lady.  I still don't have any cravings and I'm into my 3rd trimester!

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Plain chicken still sounds gross.

Have you started to show yet: He must be getting more obvious, because after last week, people definitely have more confidence to ask me about my pregnancy, whether or not they know me.

Baby is a: BOY

Belly Button in or out? Still in.

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy.

Looking forward to: My first baby shower is this weekend!  Mary is hosting a small get together for me, and I'm really looking forward to it.
