28 Weeks...Third Trimester, yippee!!

How far along? 28 weeks
getting Liv's room ready.
Rocky busting out his manly skills...
Total weight gain? 22 lbs...4 lbs in the last month which I felt great about considering I'd gained 10 the month before! Of course, I'm still on JUST INSIDE the outer limit of what "they say" I should have gained up to this point. 
Maternity clothes? Same ole same ole. Living in the same 2-3 pieces of clothing :)
 Sleep? Pretty decent...or maybe I've just gotten used to not sleeping so well. Either way, it's all good.

Goofing off on our "babymoon"
in Savannah...what a fun time!
Best moment this week? Since I last posted, we've had some great times. Had a little "babymoon" in Savannah which was spontaneous (thanks to flight issues caused by the NE storms) and full of great food, fun and bonding!

Miss anything? Having room for my lungs and stomach!
Movement? I've read weeks 24-28 are the babiest most agile due to her still being relatively small (about 2.5 lbs) and having lots of rooms to wiggle. Well, I believe it! I love, love, love feeling Olivia move...it's like she's communicating with me (well, that's my interpretation). But, I must admit, it's sometimes just weird feeling! She's up in my ribs one sec, kicking my pelvis the next then completely flipping over the next! I think the coolest thing is being able to differentiate different parts of her body...a foot here, the cute bootie there, etc. I can almost grab her foot sometimes! I can't wait to meet her!
Food cravings? Getting harder and harder to eat large meals so I quite happy to not be craving anything in particular.
Anything making you queasy or sick? No just stuffed and uncomfortable.
28 Week belly!
Symptoms? Party in my belly, body transforming, heart burn, pee, pee, pee and several things I probably shouldn't mention on a blog ;)
Have you started to show yet? I must really look pregnant now because it's not uncommon for an acquaintance to ask how far along I am or the such. I guess they're not longer afraid I'm just gaining weight!
Labor signs? No, but I have been having Braxton Hicks contractions since about 20 weeks. They've gotten more and more frequent (some days they seem constant!) but I've been told over and over that it's nothing to worry about. Still, they worry me a good bit and aren't the greatest feeling things in the world.
Belly button in or out? Steadily getting flatter and flatter and changes from day to day along with the size of my belly.
Wedding ring on or off? On.
Happy or moody most of the time? Back to moody...I can tell there are days or periods that I'm just short-tempered.
Name possibilities? Olivia...not ready to commit to middle name but I'm pretty sure we know what it is.
Looking forward to? Spring time!! Especially May!
