Week 28 1/2

Today I had a check up today which included the Glucola screen. I'll find out the results later today. Dr. says everyting looks great and on track. She did not seem as concerned as me that I gained 15lbs in a month. In fact she was happy about it. She also said that I am measuring a little ahead of schedule, but considering the size of my last child, she is also not concerned about that.

How far along: 28 Weeks
Total weight gain: 18 lbs
Maternity clothes: Most def. But since I don't leave the house, most days it's PJ pants and Tank Tops.
Stretch marks: Nope
Sleep: I started getting headaches again and waking up stiff so i now need to shove a pillow under my belly for support so it doesn't put strain on my back. Still sleeping through the night for the most part though
Best moment of this week:Baby girl got the hiccups. Dani would get them every day multiple times a day so it was a nice connection. I watch a little boy during the week. He is 9 months and Dani is in LOVE with everything to do with him. It has opened a whole new world of baby play for her. She watches everything I do with him and then she copies it with her babies. She puts her babies in the highchair and gets the baby spoons and feeds them. Yesterday she pulled out her bean bag chair and sat across from Timmy and sang him songs. So excited for her to have a little sister of her own
Miss anything: Being able to get up off the floor without making awful noises. Being able to take ibuprofen for headaches.
Movement: She is very twitchy. The movements always feel like full body spasms. We also get into little battles as she tries to nestle up under my ribs and I try and push her back down so I can breathe.
Food cravings:Bagels. Milkshakes, Milk, Sugar, 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really
Have you started to show yet: I feel like I should be bigger than I am with how I feel at the moment
Gender: Girl! 
Labor signs: Sometimes when I go from sitting to standing I'll feel some tightening but nothing consistent
Belly button in or out: getting shallower, I can see the bottom
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy
Looking forward to: Delivery Day. I'm weird and I love the whole labor process.
