28 Weeks

I'm in the third & final trimester!
12 More weeks to go (give or take)

28 Weeks

Baby's size: - My little eggplant haha

Sleep: Not too bad this week w/ lots of pillows :) - still waking up early to go to the bathroom.

Mama's Growth: I lost 2 pounds (Maybe not eating at restaurants for every meal w/ desserts?) My measurements are the same as 2 weeks ago even though I feel bigger.

Food cravings: None. I made a yummy 16 bean soup this week and it was perfect with the fall weather. That was one of my favorites this week.

Symptoms I have: Back pain which was getting less severe when I went to the gym the last couple of weeks but with all the house renovations there's so much to do here that I haven't used my childless time to go there. Hopefully I'll be back next week as the the house gets back to normal.

Doctor’s Appointments:

Glucose Test - Everything came back good so I don't need to retake it! Yay!!! My appointment went fast because I called ahead and scheduled a time instead of just walking in. I got there a little early and was seen right away. I made sure I didn't eat after dinner the night before or breakfast when I woke up. Drinking the drink was okay. I'm such a big water drinker and don't drink many other things besides so it was a little difficult. I had to keep breathing and mentally telling myself to get it over with but I think I did it faster than when I was pregnant with any of my other boys. I waited the hour and a different person drew my blood because the original person was still working on someone else & they wanted to make sure I got it done within the time. The new technician asked if this was my third & last one and I asked "third what?" And she said "blood test" so I said "no I didn't even get one" She realized she had the wrong chart because there was another woman in there getting her 3 hour test. So glad that was caught before hand so I didn't have to do it over.

Dr. Foehr - Next appointment 10/9

Sono - 10/30

Movement: Tim has been feeling him a lot more & certain times he can even see my stomach move

Gender: Baby BOY!!! :)

Names: Noelan Chase

What I’m looking forward to: Continuing to get everything in it's place and doing some more de-cluttering. Finding colors to add to the living room because it feels so bland right now - clean but bland :)

What I miss: Been too busy to think about missing anything really

Events of the week: I met Evan's teacher and she seemed nice too. She was encouraging because she said she lives in the school district, she raised all her kids through our district and they each went to college. She also said if you're not happy with the way things are going, say something because it's our kids' education & future. Although I have no issues with this teacher it made me think of Joshua's school this year.

We had such a busy week with mostly the flooring and painting. I'm so glad it's pretty much done. We still have to paint the hallway but that can wait. Jonathan & Peter helped Tim lay the floor and they worked from about 9:30 in the morning to 8:00 at night with a lunch break. What a long day. So thankful for them all!!
