28 Week Bumpdate

28 Week Bumpdate

size of the baby: Eggplant – about 14.8 inches, and over 2.5 pounds!

total weight gain: about 18 pounds (I’m about the same as I was with Brooke)

gender: Little Man

clothes: I was primarily still at home during the 28th week, which meant lots of comfy clothes and leggings. But, I know I will be back to jeans more since I am back to work.

movement: This guy constantly moves around. He got up in my ribs on NYE which made me VERY uncomfortable all night long.

sleep: I haven’t been sleeping as good anymore. I have been waking up a lot and can’t seem to get comfortable. I think sleep is over for now until this babe gets here and learns to sleep through the night.

missing: my normal body and feel comfortable.

craving: I had a strong Ice Cream craving over the weekend and thankfully, me and Kevin got to go get Ice Cream on Sunday night.

symptoms: Normal pregnancy discomfort, knotting at my injection site and redness. After talking with my doctor at our appointment, we are pretty sure that I am allergic to the oil base of the shot. We are working with the pharmacy to get my oil base changed for the last 5 shots. Hopefully it works! The countdown is on.. 5 more to go!

kevin is: working on understanding my “nesting” outbursts lol. I had some pretty strong nesting instincts kick in this week and I was on an organizing frenzy. I feel like I was way more organized and prepared for Brooke, and while we have a plan for KC, I just don’t feel the same. I am trying to work through it and focus on relaxing.

looking forward to: These last few weeks as a family of three. I am trying to soak up as much time as I can with Brooke and focusing on her. I know we have such a short time left with her as an only child. In some aspects, my heart hurts thinking of that, and in some ways I am so incredibly excited. It is such a strange emotion.

best moments: Getting to spend NYE with Kevin’s family and having them in town for a few days! We were very blessed to have all of our family come to us this holiday season. It made things a lot easier not having to travel with being so pregnant.

medical update: At our doctor’s appointment on Monday, everything went pretty normal. I lost a little weight (which my doctor wasn’t concerned with) and his heartbeat was good. Its time for my TDAP shot so I will be getting that soon. We talked over trying to switch up my shot base to reduce the reaction and we will be doing a Fetal Fibronectin Test toward the end of the month.

  • For the past four years, I’ve shared about @WorldVisionUSA and the impact they make around the world as a global Christian humanitarian organization.

I’ve seen first hand how they embody LOVING GOD and LOVING THEIR NEIGHBORS through difficult times.

In Sudan, 7 million children have been displaced. Many are going days without food and water, access to shelter or healthcare.

But YOU can help change that. Click my link in bio to donate and be a part of the solution to the crisis in Sudan. #WorldVisionPartner
