How far along: 28 weeks. [28 with Ezra, 28 with Isaac]
How big is baby: Head of Chinese
cabbage 14.8 inches and 2.25 pounds.
Weight gain/loss: For the third week, I’m
holding out at 18lbs.
Stretch marks: After two
pregnancies, I somehow still don't have any.
Sleep: Again, the issues are
primarily with the boys, opposed to a pregnant mama. Ezra is having a really
hard time staying down and we’re having a really hard time getting him down
without him coming to bed.
Diet/Cravings/Aversions: Over the weekend I
made a paleo-ish pizza and I’m mildly obsessed with them right now. I used goat
cheese and all purpose gluten free flour, so while it’s friendly enough, it’s
barely considered paleo. I’ll still take it though over the pig out and
heartburn that would happen with regular pizza.
Movement: I’m feeling hourly
movement now.
What I'm loving: That I’m actually
starting to wrap my mind around the fact that we’ll be a family of 5, including
a daughter.
Symptoms: I developed a linea
negra again! So odd. With Isaac it started around 22w, but with Ezra I never
got one. It’s faint, but it’s there! It never really bothered me, but I’m
wondering with it only showing up later with this pregnancy if it will get as
dark as it did with Isaac.
What I'm looking
forward to:
Gina dropped the M word on me. Maternity session, Saturday. This girl hasn’t
even thought about clothes, so we’ll
see how this pans out.
Best moment of the
week:
So far, finding out that I passed my 1 hour glucose test! With Ezra I failed
and had to do the 3 hour, which was quite awful.
How I'm feeling: I’m doing a lot
better. With a little more conscious thought, I’ve been able to put a lot, and
I do mean a lot, of good food in my
body. Additionally, I’ve been walking more and doing the stairs at work. Walking has
the additional benefit of getting Shopkick points at Target and Macy’s, so it’s
really a win/win. I like myself a lot more when I’m taking care of my body,
pregnant or not and I just need to remember that.

Obviously those healthy food choices are working out because you look fab. I dropped the ball this pregnancy and strayed so far from my usual diet that I don't know if I'll ever make it back :)
