| Baby's face at 28 Weeks, 2 Days |
Week 28 was a great one. We found out that both of the cyst's that were on baby's brain are completely gone!!! We also got an ADORABLE 4D pic of his face (see above). And my gluclose test results came back normal! Aside from getting large, and uncomfortable, the rest of pregnancy should be smooth sailing! This week the rib pain I had been experiencing got significantly worse. To the point where for 2 days in a row, I'd come home from work, and immediately be in the bed for the rest of the night. On Thursday, I spent much of the morning on my feet vs. sitting at my desk. This made such a huge difference! I had hardly any rib pain at all. I did this as well on Friday, and the same thing Saturday, and had almost no rib pain. I'll be making a habit of being on my feet in the AM from now on. I've also developed varicose veins on my left leg behind the knee, and going down part of the calf. Why this is only on one leg, not both is beyond me. These are common in pregnancy, but not everyone gets them. I'm just special I guess. Grrr. Either way, they should go away within a few weeks/ months after the baby comes, and my Dr has me wearing circulation socks now to help. I've only had the socks for 3 days, and I really can't tell a difference. I thought they'd be really tight around the calf, but they feel like normal crew socks. I'm going to give it a shot, and if there's no change by my next appointment in 2 weeks, the Dr said she'll send me to get fitted for a really good pair. That's been the only noticeable issue. I pee pretty much ever 30 mins, especially during the day as I make myself drink a ton of water. My digestive system is working normally, no heart burn, I'm sleeping great, and no headaches. Hoping to continue this way:-)
How far along? 29 weeks today
Total weight gain/loss? 20 lbs..... My goal was to be on the lower end of the typical pregnancy weight gain scale which is at 25 lbs. It's going to be close, but we'll see what happens these last 11 weeks.
Maternity clothes? I'm living in fleece leggings, sweater dresses, and flat boots. I pretty much rotate the same 5-8 outfits, and have no shame!
Stretch marks? None thankfully.
Sleep? Sleeping like a rock
Best moment this week? Seeing our baby in 4D again, and hearing that the cysts are gone. We probably won't have another ultrasound before he's born so this one was special.
Miss Anything? Rare Steak
Movement? Getting stronger every day, but it's still not painful.
Food/Drink cravings? Nothing in particular this week
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
Have you started to show yet? The only thing that hides it now is a sweatshirt!
Gender? It's a BOY!
Labor Signs? Nope
Belly Button in or out? It's not an outie yet, but it's making its way there.....
Happy or Moody most of the time? Very Happy
Looking forward to? Being in NC with Clay & my family for Christmas!!!!
