28 Weeks

How far along? 28 weeks

Total weight gain:16 pounds

Maternity clothes? Mostly maternity.  I did squeeze into some non-maternity shorts this weekend and held them up with the bella band.  It was so nice to be able to wear shorts and feel semi-normal.

Stretch marks? None yet

Sleep: Sleep?  What's that?  Baby O'Connor is preparing me for his or her arrival by keeping me up all the time. 

Best moment this week: Discovering that the stroller/carrier we wanted was available at Cullens!

Miss Anything? Being able to breathe through my nose.

Movement: Baby O'Connor is moving all the time.  He or she has started moving to one side and creating a large bulge in my stomach then moving back in and doing it all over again.  It is entertaining to watch, but not entertaining to feel from the inside. 

Food cravings: Crawfish and Abita Strawberry.

Food aversions: I've been good, but I think I've finally learned to stay away from eggs and peanut butter completely.  

Gender:No clue. 

Labor Signs: Does Braxton Hicks count? because that started this week. 

Symptoms: Back pain, headaches, peeing all the time...I'll stop for now.

Belly Button in or out? Still in for now, but there is no way it will last 12 more weeks.

Wedding rings on or off? On. 

Looking forward to?  Meeting Baby Roth...it will really happen this week!

The weekly belly picture.  These pictures were a little rough looking.  Today was the Mardi Gras parade at school and I'm exhausted and Sperry didn't want to cooperate either.
