Weight Gain: 14.5lb’s (I guess it fluctuates a lot week-to-week?
Stretch Marks: Just the old white ones from Elijah
Maternity Clothes: Totally
Symptoms: Easily winded, stuffy nose, tiredness, occasional heart palpitations, backache
Sleep: Can not get enough of it!
Best Moment of the Week: Today, hitting 28 weeks. Also, swimming yesterday morning at Dave and Farrah's.
Movement: It's just started to become the rolls and rippling rather than the staccato-like jabs. Fun!
Food cravings: Milk, french fries
Gender: A girl!
What I Miss: Chocolate
What I’m Looking Forward To: My next appointment in 2 weeks. I know it was a good idea for my psyche to make it 4 weeks rather than 2 between these two appointments, because time would be dragging that much more right now, but seriously, it feels like it's taking forever to get to my next one. I'm also looking forward to just being in the 30's.
Milestones: Third trimester, no doubt about it! Some people say 26.6 weeks along, others say 27 weeks, others still 28 weeks. I'm of the camp that it's 28 weeks, and haven't felt like I'm truly 3rd tri until now. And so, to commemorate being in the home stretch, I woke up this morning with a backache that would not let me fall back asleep.
Emotions: Irritated and overwhelmed. I feel like there is so much to deal with right now, and I'm afraid I've been rather short with Matthew lately. We're going away this weekend, and while I'm looking forward to being up north, I'm really not looking forward to going up north. A part of me can't help but feel a little irritated as to the timing of it all, too. We wanted to go up when my sister and her husband were going, and I would have liked to go on the civic holiday in a couple weeks, but Matt's going away to Games Day then, which bothers me, but not enough to not let him go. I know it's important for him to go, but now there's all this drama about taking Friday and Monday off work, in addition to the fact that I need to go one morning next week to do the GD 3-hour test, and I wanted to go out another day next week at 3:30 or so to spend some time with Julia and Tiffany, as Julia is visiting from Calgary for the next 4 weeks. Anyway, I don't mean to whine. It probably doesn't help that Elijah woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, and is walking around whining. Bleh! I'm hoping the day gets better!
I'll do an update photo later, as I need to hop in the shower in a few minutes, so I have to make the rest of this quick.
**Post edit - here's the photo**
We have Elijah's appointment with the speech pathologist this morning at 10:30, and I'm rather anxious about it. I'm still so worried that he'll never speak. He's now 17.5 months old, and still no first word! I'm worried about what the SLP will say, how guilty they'll try to make me feel, how much more overwhelmed I'll potentially be, leaving today. I'm just hoping and praying it goes well.
Aaaaand on that happy note, I must finish this! Sorry to be a downer, I guess I'm not feeling very puppies and rainbows this morning.
