Belly bump week #28

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart...
Jeremiah 1:5



Ootd: old navy maternity tunic. Nonmaternity tights from the Philippines (my grandma got me this pair). Belt: old navy. Capiz shell earrings also from the Philippines.

How far along are you?
Finished 28 weeks gestation. Started my third trimester
Best Moment this week?
--5:30p June 28th when I said goodbye to inpatient work until 2014!
--My weekend off spent with my hubs and kids
Prayer requests?
Healthy kids and healthy pregnancy
Baby's growth?
Baby D3 weighs 2 1/4 pounds and measures 14 inches from the top of the head to the heels (babycenter)
Symptoms?
Sleep is disrupted... I have frequent awakenings and it takes me a long time now to go back to sleep which was not a problem for me before.
And the usual: tiredness, reflux.
Amazing enough no constipation.
Medical Stuff?
I passed my glucose test. My level was 124 with cut off at 140.
I'm on the every 2-week OB visit now.
Weight gain (or loss)?
+29 at my OB visit. Up 2 from 4 weeks ago
Exercise?
Walked a lot at the hospital
And over the weekend, I started a new nonpregnant exercise dvd by reebok and Gaiam using my soft weighted ball.
Cravings? Food Aversions?
White chocolate mocha (1/2 caff to reduce palpitations and increased heart rate)
Sleep?
Not so good :(
Maternity Clothes?
Yup, yup, yup
Gender?
Surprise! We don't know.
Movement?
Kicks, nudges, hiccups
I let the kids feel the belly but they still haven't felt the kicks or movements.
What I miss....
Steady weight (ha!)
What I'm looking forward to....
Better sleep
About the rest of the family...
--I blogged about my pregnancies during residency.
-- Isabel is out of the crib and sleeping on her big girl twin bed
-- Daniel got his first library card





Linking up: babies and beyond at proverbs and pacifiers and beauty in the mess.

  1. The sleep disruption is so hard! I'm sorry. I had that with babies #2 and #3. I don't know why it didn't happen with #4. I kept waiting for it and it never came! Do you have names picked out for either gender?
