I think I'm going to do this one a little differently. A list with bullets of all the new things.
- ribs hurt
- especially the right side where she is constantly
- feeling confined just sitting so now have to lean back to take pressure off ribs
- baby still right side up - having daily talks to get her to turn upside down
- nothing says welcome to the end of pregnancy like having to pee more than one time during the night again
- bought more maternity clothes because my wardrobe is tight and depressing
- all clothes came from gap and I love them, they are amazing - but the jeans were expensive (didn't want to spend my birthday money on baby clothes for mommy... but had to anyway)
- still have enough birthday money to get me my sewing machine - just need to figure out which one
- feeling sick regularly because of the squished organs, I think
- took baby floating down a river/stream/canal thing for over 2 hours - we both liked it quite a bit
- had first baby shower and I really enjoyed it (thanks to those who were able to make it and for those who brought a gift when they couldn't make it :)
- noticed my face is chubby enough that my double chin can't be hidden in pictures - it's inevitably there
- belly got quite a bit bigger - my father liked to point this out multiple times the last day I was home in Washington
- Lindsey said it looks rounder and more "full" than pokey outey - kinda like it is wider.
- belly feels much larger so I agree with all of it
- walking is harder
- out of breath much more regularly
- belly cramps more while walking
- legs are harder to propel forward
- paid 29 bucks for a mani/pedi that was horribly botched - bff Chelsi redid all of it for me. Bless her heart.
- getting more tired (already!!!)
- nervous for upcoming long drive to Lake Tahoe this week
- excited about reunion in Tahoe
- baby girl is 2.55 pounds
- This Morning:
- --doc appointment
- --drank glucose drink, not as bad as I thought it was going to be
- --blood pressure is 126, makes me nervous, but I guess it's normal for now
- --somehow gained 6 pounds in 2 weeks; i'm exhausted with trying to keep it off since it just keeps coming no matter what I do. I exercise, I don't overeat, I eat well.
- --weight is a great source of my moodiness - wish it wasn't, trying hard to get over it
- --had both of her hands and feet in front of her face today - what is she hiding?!
- --3rd check; still a girl
- --was told to sleep on my left side in the hopes gravity will take it's toll and make her venture somewhere other than my right side
- I love her oh so much already and am just praying I go into labor by myself and don't have a huge baby (or a c section)
- telling her to stay in until she is fully developed, but I wouldn't mind her developing fully sooner than later.28 Weeks:big belly and big baby!And new jeans that fit! And stretch and have room to grow. And I love Gap for having their sizes run big so I don't feel so huge.
