28 Weeks

How far along? 28 weeks...well, hello third trimester. I didn't see you coming!

Total weight gain: ?

Symptoms: I had heartburn so bad last week that I thought I either had a broken rib or I was having a heart attack. It hurt to breathe. Not cool.

Sleep: toss, turn, pee...the usual


Best moment this week: Hayden's dedication at church on Sunday

Movement: the sumo wrestling continues

Food cravings: just hungry, always hungry

Gender: No, Mom...I really don't know! But the lady at the register at Chick-fil-A told me I was having a boy last night.

Belly Button in or out? It is poking out. I'm seriously going to have to do something about that.

What I miss: just trying to enjoy the moment

What I am looking forward to: GOING TO VISIT THE FAMILY FOR A WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!

Weekly Wisdom:  Pregnant women at a healthy weight really only need to eat an extra 300 calories per day. This amount is roughly equivalent to a serving of yogurt and half of a bagel. That is just not fair.


Milestones: We have reached the third trimester and all of the lovely things that come along with it.

Confessions of a Working Mom: I had good intentions of making something homemade and cute for Hayden's Christmas party tomorrow, but with all of the laundry and packing and wrapping....H-E-B it is!
