28 Weeks

Photobucket
How far along? 28 weeks….we are officially in the 3rd trimester! Or was that last week? Every site has a different start date.
Maternity clothes? I’m still mixing maternity with some of my old stuff. Most non-maternity maxi dresses and long tops fit perfectly but I can’t wear any of my old pants. So far Target, Gap, Old Navy, and Motherhood Maternity have served me well. I discovered that our Macy’s sells Motherhood Maternity stuff….so I can avoid that tiny cramped store!
Stretch marks? Nope. 
Sleep: I’m sleeping alright these days…it is getting a little more difficult to change positions though!
Best moment this week:  Getting some projects started around the house. We are trying to maximize storage as well as baby proof.
Miss Anything? The only thing I really miss is sleeping on my stomach.
Movement: Still tons of movement. Especially during the night and after I’ve walked Wrigley.
Food cravings: Cheerios and raspberries for sure. And frozen yogurt.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No. 
Gender: Baby boy.
Labor Signs: None.
Symptoms: My only symptom is a big belly! I sort of love being pregnant!
Belly Button in or out? In, but it’s getting more shallow. 
Wedding rings on or off? On
Mood: Happy
Looking forward to: Picking out fabric for the bedding and curtains….and finally ordering some artwork for the nursery walls this week!

    I actually loved being pregnant too and missed feeling each little one moving around in my tummy. But there are new feelings to look forward to as you gaze into your son's face and sit in amazement that you are holding your own little miracle!

#sponsored Our first real snow! Thankfully our Sco #sponsored Our first real snow! Thankfully our Scout Elf, Spike, showed up this morning with an @elfontheshelf official Scout Elf Carrier and an Elf Pets Official Carrier for our reindeer too! Now our North Pole pals can safely travel with us wherever we go! The kids had so much fun taking their pals on a winter walk to enjoy the snow! And see that cute little stowaway in Belle’s arms? Meet the Bogie – a brand new friend from the North Pole who is ready for some love and adventures! I just love enjoying all of these magical moments with my kids. It really does not get any better than this! #elfontheshelf #elfpets
#ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure yo #ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure your child is up to date on their well-child visits and vaccines! As the chief advocate for my kids, I always want to make decisions that are the best for them and for our family. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for these little loves of mine, and I know all of you can relate! That is why I vaccinate my kids. Vaccinating your child is one of the safest and most effective things you can do to protect them against serious preventable diseases. If you live in Michigan like we do, it’s time to schedule that well-child visit and make sure your kids are up to date on their vaccinations! I’ve done a lot of research and talked to our pediatrician at length about what is best for my family and I would encourage you to do so too. It’s normal to have questions—it makes you a good parent! But make sure you are getting answers from credible sources. Remember, vaccines are safe, effective, and help protect everyone. Ultimately I decided to vaccinate my children because not doing so puts them at risk of contracting a potentially deadly disease. I want the best for my kids. If you have questions or need a reliable resource, check out @IVaccinateMI for information and tools based on real medical science and research to help Michigan parents protect their kids from vaccine-preventable diseases.
