28 weeks!

28 weeks

How far along? 28 weeks and 6 days
Total weight gain/loss: 18 (eep) pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight at my last appointment.
Maternity clothes? Yes and wearing the same combination of clothes every week is getting reeeeallly old.
Sleep: School stress is keeping me up, and its getting more difficult to find a comfortable position.
Best moment this past week: Finding out I passed my 3 hour glucose test! YAY!
Movement: Still waiting for him to be regularly kicking me hard enough to see on the outside.
Food cravings: Carrot sticks. NOT baby carrots, or carrot chips. Carrot STICKS. Thats right from publix, they must be in stick form or I want nothing to do with them.
Gender: Boy, John "Jake" Aaron.
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? We are still "in" here!
What I miss: Being able to comfortable bend over and pick something up (or put socks on, or tie shoes).
What I am looking forward to: Our 3D ultrasound is Monday!
Weekly Wisdom: Dont have a baby and try to finish your Masters program at the same time. Seriously, just don't. **REPEAT THIS 12X**
Milestones: Getting closer to 30 weeks all the time!

The baby:

Baby's lungs are mature enough that, if born right now, he has a pretty good chance of surviving (with help from medical technology). Her skin is still pretty wrinkly (one byproduct of living in amniotic fluid) but will smoothen as fat continues to deposit.

**Stay tuned for more nursery pictures as we get things done on Monday!**
