28 weeks...third trimester already?!

How far along? 28 weeks, 6 days 

Total weight gain/measurements: 23 lbs, but the true test will be tomorrow at my midwife appointment! 

Maternity clothes: All the lularoe, all the time! So comfy and cozy. 

Sleep: Sleep has been okay. Still needing a nap every day. Struggling a little bit with middle of the night insomnia. 

Best moment this week: Nesting with mom! We got so much done. Baby boy's closet is all cleaned out, the hall closet is reorganized, and we got the lularoom all set up. 

Miss anything? Sweets. I failed my gestational diabetes test. WAH. Actually, if I eat on time, I don't crave sweets as much. So I guess that's a bonus. 

Movement: So during the day he moves like crazy and it's so fast. Then I lay down to do kick counts and he's like MEH MOM I DON"T WANNA and it takes forever. This would have made me terrified with Evelyn but now I know/accept he's just a stubborn Rausch. 

Food cravings: I really want a cupcake. But not really other than that. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? I threw up EVERYWHERE after my glucose test. Like, a lot after. I finished my three hour test at noon and then threw up around 6:30 pm. In the front yard. Then in the guest bathroom. Then in the shower. It was ridiculous. I've felt fine other than that, though LOL. 

Gender: Baby boy

Labor signs: No! 

Symptoms: Big belly, constantly needing a nap, my itchy hands are coming back, but not as bad.  

Belly button in or out? The top lip is sticking out!! 

Wedding rings on or off? Off, though the other day I thought my fingers looked less swollen and thought I should try it out. 

Happy or moody most of the time: I spent like 20 minutes crying the other night because Mike said I looked nice but I wanted to look pretty so ...... yeah. 

Looking forward to: My midwife appointment tomorrow! We're down to every two weeks now, which is crazy! Also, meeting with Jen this week to discuss possibly birth photos?! And this weekend we are going to Tyler to mom and dad's timeshare. This will probably be my last chance to get away before baby comes, so we are taking E to the water park and to play mini-golf and enjoying a lazy weekend. 

Guys, I really can't believe I'm already in the third trimester! The first trimester went so slow and the second trimester went so fast!! Help! What do I need to do before baby boy gets here? We are willing him out early like we did with Evelyn, so I feel this intense need to GET ALL THE THINGS DONE. (I never felt this way with Evelyn so I am super overwhelmed.) Hit me with your best "do this before the baby comes" advice! 

25/26/27 weeks....whoops

How far along? 27 weeks, 5 days (luckily it looks like last pregnancy I also dropped the blogging ball around this time!) 

Total weight gain/measurements: 23 lbs as of last Tuesday.

Maternity clothes: Still mostly LuLaRoe. I don't see that changing. But I did buy some skinny maternity jeans and I like mixing and matching my lula with jeans! 

Sleep: If I let Evelyn sleep with me all night, we sleep great. If we put her in her crib, she wakes me up between 1-2 am and it's usually creepy and keeps me awake. I'm so torn. I want her in her own bed but I also want sleep. UGH. 

Best moment this week: Last week we went to check on baby boy and Evelyn got to help find his heartbeat. She was so excited and felt like such a big helper. It was sooo cute. We went to JBF a few weeks ago and got some great stuff for brother - a swing, a new diaper dekor for dirty diapers, and a cute hamper. Also lots of hangers. Oh and mom and I got Evelyn's room all cleaned up and moved some of the playroom toys into her room. Next we are taking on the hall closet so I can clean out the closet in baby boy's room. I'm nesting this time! It's so different from Evelyn. 

Miss anything? Frozen margaritas. Also, last week I found out I failed my one hour gestational diabetes test so I've been trying to eat low carb and make healthy choices. I hate it. I really miss sugar and sweets and carbs. 

Movement: I asked Lissa if she thought he would be bigger than Evelyn because of how obvious his movements are and she suspects he will be about 8 lbs. (For the record, Evelyn was 6 lbs 15 oz) I can't really remember when I started seeing Evelyn move, but his movements have been SO obvious for a long time. It's crazy! 

Food cravings: Anything sweet. OMG. Literally would just eat straight up sugar right now. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not really, thankfully! 

Gender: Baby boy

Labor signs: No! 

Symptoms: Big belly, achy muscles, still taking a daily nap. 

Belly button in or out? I really think we're going to get an outie this time!!  

Wedding rings on or off? Off.

Happy or moody most of the time: Still very moody. Thanks, baby. 

Looking forward to: I take my gestational diabetes test on Wednesday. I'm not really looking forward to this - I'm super dreading it - but I am looking forward to knowing whether or not I actually have it, instead of living in this weird limbo. Also, Friday is "breakfast with someone special" at Evelyn's preschool and mom and I are going to have breakfast with her, then mom is going to help me take my inventory photographs for LuLaRoe, which is way overdue!!
