Week 28 survey

How far along: 28 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I was so shocked by the numbers on the scale this morning that I can't even answer the question this week. I just can't...
Maternity clothes: Yes. Wore my special maternity tights for the first time this week under a dress. They are amazingly comfortable - which can't always be said about pantyhose in general!
Stretch marks: Nope
Sleep: Just fine - although on some days, not getting enough of it. I've started sleeping with my belly resting on a little pillow for support. I was surprised at what a difference that can make!
Best moment in the last week: I actually felt a little appendage (foot?) moving from one area to another Wednesday night instead of just random, quick nudges
Movement: Still really haven't determined baby's active & sleeping periods, but I'm loving the movements any time I feel them. Baby is still being super nice to me - the kicks are still pretty gentle, and baby hasn't found my rib cage yet. ;)
Gender: Boy outvotes by 1 still
Food Cravings: This week: frozen bananas. I loved them before pregnancy, but can't get enough of them this week. At least they're better for us than candy!
Belly Button in or out: Still in but getting wider. I honestly think I even had a growth spurt just last night! It felt like my entire stomach was stretching, and this morning, my belly button looked different again.
What I miss: Not complaining, but I did just come across some pictures that I took this summer in a bikini. I was pretty close to my ideal weight when I got pregnant. It will be good (or depressing - hehe) to have those pictures as a goal in a few months.
What I am looking forward to: Finishing the wallpaper in baby's room and starting to look for furniture.
Weekly Wisdom: Bellys really do come in ALL shapes and sizes, which I have now personally been able to observe in my birth preparation classes. :)
Milestones: Baby should weigh about 2 pounds now and has eyelashes (which s/he can blink!). Guenni & I have also possibly decided on a name! The amazing thing is: We didn't even open a baby name book or check any lists online. We have a few more weeks to go though, so we'll see...
Baby Brain Moment of the Week: Friday night, I went to bed around 11:00, slept in on Saturday, had breakfast, and when I was getting ready to take my shower, I noticed my glasses AND contact case in the bathroom. It wasn't until then that I realized I had slept in my contacts and that they were still in! My eyes weren't irritated or anything, though. Oops. Monday morning, I took out cottage cheese and yogurt to take to work. I left them sitting right on the counter next to the fridge and didn't realize it until I got to work.
Belly-button ring Status: Out
Labor Signs: Braxton-Hicks occasionally
Weekly Belly Pic: Ok, seriously...should I be this huge already?!?

(I swear that I don't have a ball under my sweater!!!)


(New haircut! Not so photogenic, unfortunately)

* One of the other girls in my class commented that I have such a nice belly. I have to agree that I love it too! ;)
