Week 28 and a nursery sneak peek

I bet you thought we forgot about this blog. Life got in the way. Seriously in the way. 

How far along? 28 weeks, 6 days

Total weight gain/measurements: 21 lbs. After gaining that 10 lbs in a month, I was so worried about this weigh in. Luckily, I only gained 3 lbs this past month. Whew! 

Maternity clothes: Bought some tank tops (like the one in this picture) last week. I couldn't deal with sleeves any longer. 

Stretch marks? This is depressing. I'm deleting this question. I don't even have that many, and they don't bother me when I look at them, but this question always makes me sad lol. 

Sleep: Yes please. I sleep all night, then I take two hour naps after summer school. It's AWESOME. Apparently last night Mike played some music for Evelyn but I slept through all of it. This third trimester thing is no joke.  

Best moment this week: It's been so long...so many good moments. We got to see Evelyn last week at our doctor's appointment. She looks like a real baby! We could see her lips! It was adorable. Also, she's been moving a lot and that always makes me happy. 

Miss anything? I still really want a mango margarita. :( :( :( And to not feel like a stranded turtle. But otherwise, no. I even sometimes like the turtle thing. ;) 

Movement: She was moving so much yesterday I didn't even bother with kick counts because I couldn't have kept up. Some days are lazier than that, but right now I think she's enjoying the ice cream we ate after dinner because it's a kick fest up in there. 

Food cravings:  Tonight, meat. I ate part of Mike's slim jim and was like I NEED MORE but instead we got ice cream. Idk. I still really like tacos too. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? I get so sick to my stomach every week at birth class. I don't know why. I'm hoping that now that school is out, I won't be quite so worn down and I will start feeling better on Friday nights. 

Gender: Baby girl. 

Labour signs: I am pretty sure I had my first Braxton Hicks the other day. I drank some water and walked around, and it went away. Who knows! 

Symptoms: My feet are starting to swell. :( I had a hard time taking off my shoes today and they're the shoes I need for Trisha's wedding, so I need them to fit for five more days!!! 

Belly button in or out? Looks and feels like the tied end of a balloon, but still in. 

Wedding rings on or off? Still on, though they're a little tight too. 

Happy or moody most of the time: I've been a lot less weepy. I think because I'm too busy sleeping to cry. I would probably say I've been happier, mostly because school is out!! 

Looking forward to: Our Babymoon starts on Sunday!!! We will be traveling to Destin, FL for Trisha's wedding. Conveniently, it will be our last trip - especially long distance - before Miss E comes...and probably for a while afterward too. We'll be there Sunday to Tuesday and I am so looking forward to the sun and the beach...and I don't even normally like the beach! 


Also: FYI, this title is total click bait. The only sneak peek I have is this... 

It looks a little less salmon-y in person, but it's paint! I don't have a roller brush, so the fact that I painted this much should impress you. So excited to have a little girl so I can have pink walls! Is that shallow? 

To make up for the click bait, here's a picture of Evelyn Grace. Look at that nose! Her lips! Adorable!
