Baby Bump | 7 Months

Hello, 3rd Trimester!

// Let the countdown begin // 

How far along: 28 Weeks / 7 months

Due Date: December 4, 2015

Baby Size: Approx. 14.8 inches! / 2.25 lbs. / The size of a chinese cabbage - W.T.Heck. is that?

Weight Gain: Since last week I have gained 4 lbs. I guess it's from the pumpkin spice latte, donuts and candy that's come out since FALL has officially arrived in the stores! 

Gender: GIRL

Sleep: Sleeping has been a challenge lately. My baby bump is definitely growing bigger by the day, or so it seems, and I cannot get comfortable for the life of me! I use a pillow under my belly for support at night and usually if I can fall asleep before Dan's snoring takes over I sleep like a baby! Just praying that as belly gets bigger and adds more pressure it doesn't affect my hips too much and I can sleep! 

I am feeling: I am feeling a lot of stretching in my stomach, growing pains, a lot of random urges to pee, and sharp pain in the pelvic region. It sucks taking a deep breath, it either makes me have to pee or hurts because it feels like I am trying to life an elephant off my chest. All of that pain just means that baby is growing so I guess I can't complain (too much)! Other than that... which is a lot... I am feeling good. I am rocking the prenatal workouts daily, loving how they make me feel ready for the day with tons of energy! 

Cravings: My most favorite things in the world right now are... STILL spicy foods, sriracha on absolutely everything, and I am slowly getting back into loving sugar. Cider donuts... MMMM!!! I went to Leaman's today and I wanted so badly to drink the entire cider slush Lennon had. SO MAD that they aren't pasteurized. 

Currently loving: I am loving that it's finally FALL weather! I can wear my leggings that I absolutely love and highly recommend to any preggo - Liz Lange Maternity Leggings. SO SO SO comfy! 

Currently hating: I hate the smell of BBQ sauce, again unless it's from McD's! I am not loving meat of any kind lately. I can't stand the taste, texture... etc. I had chicken nuggets yesterday (from McD's... Gross, I know!) and surprisingly I ate them and loved them but that's probably because they're fake and gross to most people. LOL!

Anxious for: I was so anxious for the 3rd trimester to start and now that it has I am so excited! I can't wait to make our final purchases for diapers, baby clothes, my Solly Wrap, etc. I am just anxious to hold her, name her, snuggle her and kiss her and never let go! :)

Update:

At my 28th week we were scheduled to go in for an ultrasound with the specialist again to check baby girls heart. Great news is that there are no holes in the heart and it's beating like crazy (around 133 BPM)! She is healthy, flexible, sucking her thumb, moving like crazy, measuring 2lbs. 12oz., in the 45th percentile, head is down (such good news, let's hope it stays down!) and measuring almost a week ahead EDD is now 11/30 but they're not officially changing my due date (I'll ask about it at my regular OB appointment this week).
