28 weeks, 1 day

Okay here we go...better late than never. (Man I say that a lot on this blog)!!
28 weeks 1 day.  Less (maybe more) than 12 weeks to go!  I can't believe it really.  12 weeks seems like it'll fly, but June seems so far away.  I'm thinking once the weather gets nice they'll defiantly fly.
I'm still feeling really good.  I started going to the chiropractor at around 20ish weeks after a few weeks of horrible tailbone pain.  Since then, I go in weekly for adjustments and have had minimal pain, especially these past few weeks!  I'm trying to stay as active as possible doing some running, walking, and weight lifting a few days a week.  I find this pregnancy I'm much more irritable (Don can attest to that) and getting back up after being on the floor with Kenz, has become tricky.  Its so hard to say...Is this pregnancy different?  Or is it different because I have Kenz to take care of this time around.  I also feel much bigger.  I don't know if its because I'm wearing tighter clothes this time around?  I'm trying to embrace this pregnancy since this is most likely the last one for us.  Luckily I've had some precious souls that tell me I'm quite small for 7 months.  Bless their heart!
I had a Dr's appointment and ultrasound a few weeks ago.  Placenta has now moved out of the way.  YAY!  She also tried to get some 3D pics of baby but it was being a little stubborn and covering its face.  Also baby was breech.  Eeek!  Makes me a little nervous because I have been feeling most of my kicks down realllly low, so I'm hoping its not getting too comfortable.  Get flippin baby!  I also had my glucose tolerance test and passed that with no problem!

How Many Weeks: 28 weeks,1 day--Around 83 to go!

How Big Is The Baby This Week: Baby Burch is as big as a small cabbage, and inching towards 3lbs.  

Weight gain: About 19lbs.  This is about 5lbs more than where I was this time with Kenz.

Sleep? Since New Years I've had 3 colds/sinus infections.  For someone who gets sick once or twice a year, this was awful.  Sleeping was bad, breathing was bad, and I was miserable.  I finally had to breakdown and get a Rx, but since, I've been feeling much better, and hopefully that'll be it for sickies.  So now I'm sleeping good at night.  I can even go all night without a bathroom break!  I do get really tired right after lunch, but usually a quick 15min snooze will do the trick.  

Cravings? Hmmmm for a few days I did want a Dairy Queen PB blizzard, and finally downed all 740 calories of one a few nights ago.  Also from the beginning, I can't get enough salad and fruit.  

Aches and pains? Just besides the babe beating me up from the inside.  

Signs of labor? Oh heavens no

What I miss? We just went out to dinner with our friends Kelly and Dustin last night, and on the drive to dessert we saw a lovely Mexican restaurant which Kelly shared had the best margaritas!  With warmer weather hopefully coming, I'd love a frozen margarita.  

Reaching Milestones: Last weekend I did go through baby clothes and pulled out any gender neutral clothes we had.  Though I think I was pretty minimal about baby clothes, I couldn't believe the amount of girl clothes we had.
