What I'm Loving Wednesday

I thought I'd play along this week with Jamie's "What I'm Loving Wednesday".




* I'm loving that I start the 3rd and final trimester of my pregnancy today. Only about 12 weeks or less to go before I get to meet my sweet baby Jackson! I can't wait.


* I'm loving that I should be getting some of the furniture for Jackson's room delivered today! Can't wait to paint his room on Saturday! I picked up the blue paint yesterday and cleaned out our spare bedroom to get it ready to become the nursery.


* I'm loving my favorite show, So You Think You Can Dance. They are down to just 8 contestants now.


* And last but not lease, I'm loving my sweet and adorable doggies and my wonderful husband.

28 Weeks ~ 3rd Trimester!!

Pregnancy Highlights


How Far Along: 28 Weeks. I start the 3rd trimester today! Time is flying by!

Size of Baby: The baby weighs 2 1/4 pounds now (like a chinese cabbage) and is about 14.8 inches from head to heal.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: At my 24 week Dr. appt. I had gained 18 pounds total. The baby was also measuring 2 weeks ahead. I have my 28 week appt. on Friday, so I'll find out my actual weight gain then.


Maternity Clothes: Yes, all maternity clothes.


Gender: Its a BOY!! Jackson Thomas Smith


Movement: Yes, he's moving around A LOT now, and I love it.


Food Cravings: Pasta and sweets.


What I miss: Sleeping well.



Sleep: Still not sleeping very well these days. Just can't seem to get comfortable. Tossing and turning a lot.

Symptoms: I'm still having this pain under my right ribs and around to my back. The chiropractor seems to think its the ligaments pulling, due to my ever expanding uterus or I guess it could be the baby on a nerve.


Best Moment this week: Ordering all the furniture for Jackson's nursery! I can't wait to get it all put together in his room.

What I am looking forward to: Getting Jackson's room ready, my baby shower on Sept. 10th and getting to meet Jackson in Oct.
