28 weeks!

THIRD TRIMESTER!!! exciting, comforting and a bit scary all at the same time!

how far along? 28 weeks

sleeping: not great (but of course better than when i have a newborn, i know!) between the heartburn and not being able to get comfortable on my stomach (i'm still trying!) i'm often not asleep until well after 1am.

total weight gain? 19lbs.

movement: lots of it! she is especially active at night and around lunchtime.

food craving: blueberry scones. i love the ones from starbucks and have been trying out a few recipes of my own.

what I miss: being able to sleep on my stomach easily!

milestones: third trimester! passed my 1-hr glucose tolerance test...got to take it with jelly beans this time. i thought it would be easy to eat 18 jelly beans in 5 minutes, but there is such a thing as too many jelly beans. though much better than drinking the orange drink! blood test showed i am still anemic (no big surprise) so i just need to keep taking the iron i've been on and we'll go from there.

how i'm feeling: pretty good. i've been keeping up with my exercising, though it has now slowed down to walking only (i had been jogging) and some light weight lifting. i am going to be walking in a 5K at the end of this month and am looking forward to it. i am REALLY looking forward to the warmer weather and dresses and skirts. i feel so much more comfortable in those type of clothes and am ready to ditch the jeans. so come on spring!
