28 Weeks! ♥

As crazy as it sounds, I think I've grown/rounded out even more than last week! She's starting to gain weight and pack on the fat, so she's definitely taking up more room than she used to. I officially cannot see my feet if I'm standing straight and my jeans that have always fit now have to have a hair tie, but barely! lol

It's so amazing and blows my mind how much she's grown in a month! She must've had a growth spurt in the past week or two because these jeans could button last week and now they need a hair tie, barely. lol This is 24 weeks vs. 28 weeks.

How far along: 28 weeks!
Size of the baby: acorn squash
Total weight gain: 10 lbs (but it fluctuates b/c Sunday my scale showed less than 9 lbs gained)
Maternity clothes: not really. I'm still in my regular clothes but my mom bought me some clothes that are Petite XS & S and elastic size 4 pants that I can wear for *hopefully* the remainder of the pregnancy.
Stretch marks: nope
Sleep: still good
Best moment of this week: I passed my glucose test!! And enjoying a long-deserved night out at the ballet & dinner at IHOP!
Miss anything: being thin, but I know it's worth it & hoping I'll quickly go back to my old size & weight once she's here.
Movement: every day! ♥
Food cravings: not really
Anything making you queasy or sick: nope
Have you started to show yet: even moreso now!
Gender: baby girl!
Labor signs: nope
Belly button in or out: in
Wedding rings on or off: on
Happy or moody most of the time: happy :)
Looking forward to: a great weekend with my love

27 Weeks! ♥

The other day I noticed she has decided to pop out a little more. I've also rounded out a bit more since last week. It still amazes me how much she's grown already & will continue to grow over the next 13 weeks. I'm officially in the 3rd trimester and it's crazy how fast time has gone. Before I know it she'll be here! After this week she'll have a 95% survival rate if born premature.

How far along: 27 weeks!
Size of the baby: eggplant
Total weight gain: 8 lbs
Maternity clothes: not yet

26 Weeks! ♥

I don't know how a 14", almost 2lb baby is in there! It's so amazing and crazy to feel her move/kick both sides of my abdomen simultaneously. I can't believe I'm at the end of the 2nd trimester already. Time is flying by. Her eyes are no longer fused shut so she can open her eyes. If for some reason she were to arrive between 27 and 32 weeks, her survival rate is 80-95%! The other day we officially hit double digits until her due date and reality hit a little, that's a little over 3 months! We still have SO much to get done. A house to thoroughly clean, we need to figure out what we're doing with the nursery furniture-wise & get stuff moved out of it, paint the walls, etc. I hope to get everything done by the end of April just in case she comes early.

How far along: 26 weeks!
Size of the baby: rutabaga
