Week 28

How far along? 28 weeks

Baby Hart is the size of: An eggplant.

Total weight gain/loss:  Quite the growth spurt this week - 3 more pounds!  17 pounds total gained.

Maternity clothes? Yes.

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: My hubby was gone most of this week for his job, so sleep was pretty horrible!  By the time I got used to it and felt braver he was back;)

Best moment this week:   When my hubby came back home:)

Miss anything? My husband :D

Movement: Has been amazing!   Love feeling the lil body parts and stretches!  It's fun to try to interact with him too- I'll find an elbow or knee or who-knows-what and poke in on it.  He'll retreat such body part and respond with a full-fledged kick/punch.  Awww wrestling with my son already!:):)

Food cravings: Ice cream.

Symptoms:  Quite ironically I think I've forgotten to mention sooner the symptom of pregnancy brain that has been plaguing me!!!  

Showing?  Indeedy fruity.

Gender:  Baby Hart is a boy:)

Belly button in or out? Still both;)
Wedding rings on or off? On.

Adjustments?  Being home alone all week required a LOT of adjusting!  I really noticed all the little things I desperately need Jason for around here- especially being pregnant!

Emotions: Been a lil' more overwhelmed feeling- prolly because of said husband's absence;)

Learned this week:  That I can't imagine going through pregnancy without my hubby!  

So thankful for:  My husband!  Lol!  Can you tell my common theme of this week??:)

Looking forward to:  Taking our first birth/parenting class next week!

Other highlights:  Not to beat a dead horse (what a nasty phrase that is... never typed it out before...lol!), but I have such a new respect for single moms!  Not only all they go through once the child is born and in raising the child, but throughout the pregnancy too!  I cannot imagine how hard that would be!
