Baby Bump {Week 28}

I now know why people say due dates are a joke. See when I was pregnant with LB I had my due date change twice due to his size. And now with little miss my "due date" also keeps changing. LB came about 2 weeks earlier than his first due date but only 3 days earlier than his final one. Little miss is currently measuring 3 whole weeks earlier than her July 1st due date. Which will land her to be born 1 day after LB turns 2. Hilarious. I am choosing this time not to change the official date because I want all the time I can to get her to come naturally and on her own. We will see how that goes though. Here is my latest bump picture. Sorry for the grainness I took it on my phone in a bathroom mirror while standing on a stool. But I wanted to make sure to get an up to date photo and this was my best attempt. 

How far along? 28 weeks

Measuring at? 31 weeks

Food cravings/aversions: oh goodness what do I not want to eat? I pretty much eat everything in front of me. The only thing I have a hard time drinking is coffee it gives me awful heartburn and sometimes just the smell makes me nauseous. It really is quite sad because I have a bag of 100% kona coffee sitting on my counter-top that hardly ever gets drank.

Sleeping: Holy leg cramps! I seriously do not remember them being this bad last time around. I wake up in the middle of the night flailing because they hurt so much. The worse is when I have to pee and my leg is cramping so I'm hobbling to the bathroom trying not to trip over myself and not pee everywhere. Maybe its time to install a camera along my path so we all can laugh at the scene I make ;)

Milestones: Baby can now blink. Cute huh? I just imagine her in there squinting her little eyes everytime big brother comes at her for his daily kiss fest. Also, I begin my every 2 week appointments! I couldn't believe it when the doctor told me last week. I can't believe we are already to that point.

Interesting things that happened this past week/anticdotes: LB got to feel lil miss dancing about. It was the best thing watching his face as his little sister said hello. He sat there so patiently waiting to feel her and after she gave him a little bump he went back for more. Melts my heart to see how sweet that little boy already is to his sister. I wish I could count the number of times he comes up and kisses her or sings to her everyday, I am sure it is more than 20. He is definitely fascinated with this growing, moving belly of mine.

Differences this time around: My doctor asked me if I feel bigger this time around. It threw me off a little because I hadn't really thought about it. I mean I was huge with LB gaining a whooping 65 pounds and this time I am barely at the 25 pound mark. But once I thought about it I realized I do feel bigger. She may not be making mama gain as much weight but she is surely taking up her fair share of room in there. I am already having to grab her feet out of my rib cages and some of her jabs have me stopping in my tracks. That didnt happen with LB until after the 34 week mark. So I think little miss might actually arrive bigger than her big brother. We shall see though.

In other news the doctor is not very concerned about her blood pools, praise the Lord. Since little miss is growing so well inside me they appear to be no issue at this point but we will do another ultrasound in a few weeks just to make sure all is well in there.

Any questions?
