28 Weeks, Hello Third Trimester!!!

Well I let a few weeks go past without blogging. We've been super busy and to be honest, I haven't had time to do a bump photo til today. We had a couple of busy weekends with family and last weekend we painted Hudson's room and had the Diabetes Walk. I had a really great time a few weekends ago with my brother and his family as well as my Nana, Aunt Ruth, Cousin Holly, Aunt Gretta and Uncle Sam. Thanks to everyone who traveled here to see/meet our babies.

Anyway, I'm 28 weeks and 4 days pregnant. Only 80 days til my due date. September flew bye so I'm hoping October will do the same. I'm not quite ready for this baby to be here, but by the end of November I'm sure I will be done being pregnant.  I did wake up Saturday and decided I was pregnant. The aches and pains of the third trimester have kicked in for sure ;). Yesterday I went to the doctor for a checkup. Baby's heart rate was at 145bpm. I also had to do the dreaded gestational diabetes test. I'm all good. They drew blood and gave me a shot because I'm RH Negative. Overall it was a good appointment. I go back every two weeks now til the end of November and then every week after that til the baby's born.

Here’s what’s happening in Week 28:

Weight Loss/Gain? I have gained more than I thought. 23lbs total. I guess my body just likes to gain weight in the second trimester. 

Cravings: Salads, sandwiches, Mexican food, fish, fruit, cheese, banana peppers, pickles, and chocolate :)

Aversions: None. Thank goodness that's over.

Miss Anything? Not much. Maybe sleep and red wine.
 
Gender: BOY!!! Hudson Jacob Hughes

Favorite Moment this Week: Getting Hudson's room started

Sleeping: Sleep is better some nights more than others.

Stretch Marks? None.

Workout: Have been walking only about 1 day a week. I walked the Diabetes Walk on Saturday and about died.

Clothes: Clothes don't fit the same. I'm finding it hard to fit into my pants anymore. Wish it would cool off so I can have some different options.

Baby Movement: He moves like crazy. Rolling and flipping. It's pretty cool.

Most looking forward to: Working on Hudson's room some more and cooler fall weather.
