28 weeks


Not much new to discuss, so I thought I'd fill out a little survey that I see floating around the pregnancy blogs now and again.

How far along are you?  28weeks. This doesn't translate into 7 months, btw.

How much weight have you gained?  between 17-22lbs

Any weird cravings? Nope! I went through a salad phase, does that count? Every once and a while I'll say something like "I could really go for some goat cheese" and because my husband is awesome he'll go buy it for me.  But really, its been easy to eat pretty healthy. Plus, I'm trying to make sure I eat a variety of foods, particularly spicy or bitter foods, because they say that the baby can taste the flavors in the amniotic fluid.  This could make them more likely to actually enjoy those difficult flavors later in life. Worth a shot! 

Are you in maternity clothes? I've been in maternity pants for months  now, but I've officially made the transition into maternity shirts. I don't have that many so be prepared to see a lot of the same outfits!

How are you feeling? Pretty lousy :(  I shouldn't complain because I know I've had it pretty easy, but the "insomnia" is really getting to me and the back aches are debilitating some days.  Getting exercise really does help with the aches and pains, but it just adds to the exhaustion. I just want to be able to lay on my back again.

Are you "eating for two"? No, actually. My appetite has really shrunk recently. I have to start getting some of those protein shakes to make up the calories

What scares you the most about pregnancy? I'm not too scared of labor and delivery. I have a pretty high pain threshold and women give birth all the time. I'm more scared of what to do with the baby when it comes home!

What are you most excited for? My husband to hold the baby.

  2. haha, I don't think they will Leah! I think they'll continue until the baby is born then sleep will be a luxury!

    I hope you have a few months of good sleep still!

  3. This is true. I guess we should enjoy the amount of sleep we're getting. :-)
