How far along: 28 Weeks

Total weight gain: + 17 pounds

Sleep: Same pattern where I’ll have one good night, one bad night, etc. I read that the tiredness returns during the 3rd trimester, and I’m definitely noticing it! I’m hoping to make it to bed earlier than usual during the week nights this week.

Best moments: Nothing big happened with the baby this week, but I have received a few compliments about how great I look for bring 6 months pregnant! That is really nice to hear (especially when I don’t feel like I look so great)!

Movement: If his activity level while I’m trying to sleep has any foreshadowing for after he is born, I am in trouble!

Symptoms: Little bit of heartburn still, but it is worth it for my Mexican cravings :) I’ve started getting some leg cramps in the middle of the night…that is no fun!

Maternity clothes: Still wearing it, but could always use more ;)

Food cravings: Easter candy…hehe!

Food aversions: Nope.

What I'm eating: According to my brother, I am not eating much different than I did pre-pregnancy, which I guess is pretty much true! We all know I am not the most adventurous eater. But I do enjoy what I eat, so that is good! Same as usual, with a couple Mexican restaurants over the weekend, plus a Dixie Stampede dinner eaten by hand! Easter dinner was delicious too—fried chicken, mostacholi, green beans, cheesy potatoes, salad, and my sister’s amazing carrot cake!

Exercise: We were in Branson this weekend (which explains the Dixie Stampede) with Steve's mom, dad, David, Heather and some friends. We went to Silver Dollar City as well. It was a great day full of lots of walking, sitting and WAITING! Being 6 months pregnant I obviously didn’t go on any rides. I was actually going to get to do something at the end of the day but because it started lightning, the cave tour closed down :( We also were able to take the dogs (we brought Mario and Steve’s parents brought Teddy) out for walks on the Landing. Friday the weather was GORGEOUS (too bad Mario was distracted during this picture)!!
Gender: If I keep eating Mexican food as much as I have…it will be a ¼ American, ¼ Chinese, ½ Mexican baby boy! LOL!

What I miss: Not that I am a huge amusement park ride person, but I did miss getting to go on a couple rides. He’s totally worth it though! Plus, I stayed dry while everyone else got wet and cold on the water rides!

What I am looking forward to: This weekend is Cardinals Opening Day! I actually found a maternity Cardinals shirt that I “blinged” up a bit during the drive this past weekend. And I know it is still 2 weeks away, but I am getting really excited for my first shower!!

Milestones: Didn’t do much this past week, but overall I have been feeling pretty good, so that has got to be a milestone!
