Let's see, I celebrated my first almost-Mother's Day yesterday. Around about 2 pm yesterday I had received mother's day wishes from several people except my husband. I said, you know who I haven't heard anything from? Um, you. He commenced to hand me a card he had snuck in the buggy on Friday night at Walmart. He had forgotten to give it to me. It was a very sweet card. :)
I go to the Dr on Wednesday for my one hour glucose test. If I pass it, great. If not, I have to take the 3 hour test. So hopefully I pass. Not looking forward to drinking that stuff, though. I need to remember to charge my ipod so I can take it with me.
I woke up this morning with what was apparently a migraine. I'm feeling better now, but it was weird! I have only ever had a migraine once before and I didn't even think about it being that until after I had spoken to the dr. It wasn't too bad, though. I know some people have it so much worse. I was just worried about my blood pressure.
I have some kind of pinched nerve in my butt. I know that sounds weird, but every once in a while it gets aggravated and I can hardly walk. Well, it got aggravated recently so I've been having issues with that. Not really anything you can do about it, I'm sure.
I sound like an old woman, listing out my ailments. :)
Other than that, we're trying to decide if we want to get the 3D ultrasound done. It's $150 and you get, like, 4 pictures and it lasts, like, 20 minutes. We're still a little paranoid that Cole is going to come out a girl and want a little reassurance. I keep looking at my previous ultrasound pics and thinking there's no way that's NOT a little boy. I also want to see what his little face looks like, but I also kind of want to be surprised when he's born. I don't know what to do.
I will get to see him in less than 12 weeks though. HOLY CRAP!
How far along? 28 weeks THIRD TRIMESTER
Total weight gain/loss: up about 15 lbs (I think) Guess we’ll see what Dr. Shaffer’s scale from Hell says on Wednesday. It will probably say I’ve gained like 30 pounds in the past month. Or maybe it’s the nurse that’s skewing my weight. I can’t decide.
Maternity clothes? I swear, if I outgrow another shirt I’m going to SCREAM! Looks like I’ll be wearing the same 5 dresses every day until I outgrow them, too.
Stretch marks? Not yet...I put some vitamin E on last night. Who knows if it will really help. It’s kinda greasy so I’m not sure how long I’ll keep it up.
Sleep: It’s okay. I’ve pretty much adjusted to peeing 3 times a night. If I can just keep making it to the bathroom without tripping I’ll be doing good.
Best moment this week: I finally felt a body part I could identify. I felt an elbow. It was sharp!
Movement: Little Cole is very active these days. He is getting so strong.
Food cravings: Unfortunately sweets. Except Saturday I was craving all kinds of fried food.
Gender: boy!
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? In-barely...The top part has started popping out a little bit.
What I miss: clothes that fit
What I am looking forward to: meeting our little guy
Weekly Wisdom: stay as stress-free as possible
Milestones: Elbow thing mentioned above, and he has started balling up in different spots.
