-------------------------------------------------------
How far along? 28 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: + 11kgs. (yup I've put on a fair bit since week 21. especially from week 26 onwards)
Stretch marks? Not yet! Although when I was in Perth at 26/27 weeks, I thought I saw (and felt) a red mark appear on the side. Could be due to dehydration - it's gone now. Still applying lots of Clarins oil at night and the ocassional cream in the day/after shower. I think it helps.
Symptoms: No headaches. It's been smooth for the past few weeks (week 24-28). I suppose if I were to mention a symptom, it would be stretching pains the past 2 weeks? Round ligament pains? Also a huge growth spurt (for me) between week 26-28. Possibly due to the amount of food consumed in Perth and in Canberra for Easter (the mothers spoil me way too much)! My hair and nails are fabulous - Finally benefitting from the hormones. Pimples seem to have stopped too - I don't know if it's the new organic exfoliant or the hormones are giving me a break. I know I glow. I can see it when I take pictures.
Sleep: Still the best sleep of my life. I've never looked forward to going to bed everyday. This is even with the 2-3 trips I make to the toilet in the middle of my sleep! Although I am beginning to get the odd night or two where I feel restless.
Best moment this week: Getting keys to the new place. Let the nesting begin!
Have you told family and friends: Yes. I've also uploaded pictures on fb, though not "publishing" to the wider audience. My tummy has popped too - so it is pretty obvious I'm about to become a mummy.
Miss Anything? Sashimi! Twitchy made the best tuna sushi over the weekend. Best ever! Given the circumstances. I love my husband - the things he did for me.
Movement: Baby is back to being active. She slowed down a little during 26-27 week, but still kicking when I lay down at night. Oh and I can feel where baby is, she is getting much bigger! The movements are a lot different too. Hiccups, vibrations and slow movement from left to right.... It's move obvious when she changes position - and we sometimes can feel parts of her the body on my tummy. She moves when we give it a pat/rub!
Food cravings: Not really. I have to say I got Twitchy to make me eggs on toast at 4am last Saturday. I was just feeling.....hungry! Twitchy ended up making himself eggs on toast too...
Anything making you queasy or sick: The smell of meat being cooked - Still! or the smell of raw meat. Yuck!
Have you started to show yet: Yes! Pretty obvious I am. In fact I had a growth spurt from week 26-28. My tummy is getting bigger and I am getting clumsier. Bumped the tummy into things as I keep underestimating my size/agility.
Baby is a: GIRL!
Belly Button in or out? In. Getting shallower. I have a feeling it will pop soon.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! but stressed. Moving homes, work (so hectic) and the urgent need to nest and yet trying to save money for a rainy day. Let's face it. There will be lots of rainy days coming up.
Looking forward to: My 28 week check up on Friday. Went for my GTT blood test last week - the one where I have to drink think sugary/lemonade drink and wait (yes literally wait) for an hour before I get my blood tested. I'd know of results this Friday when I see the OBGYN......and Baby shower/house warming party in May.
