Bumpdate: 28 Weeks

How many weeks: 28 - officially in the third trimester. Whoa.

Symptoms: Sleep is getting rougher, but can't complain because overall I feel pretty great still!
I have to roll out of bed or off the couch because my stomach muscles are pretty much gone.
Feeling her kick all the time now. And kicks/movement are definitely getting stronger too.

Baby Bump: Getting bigger every day!

Food Cravings/Aversions: Nope

What else is going on: Passed my glucose test - yay!
We put the crib together, so the nursery is slowly coming together. Hoping to share our inspo for it soon.
Admiral is starting to learn to cuddle with the bump, and not climb on top of it. He also likes snuggling with my pregnancy pillow (pics below).
Getting excited for the nursery to come together and then to meet this little girl in less than three months!

Bumpdate: 26 Weeks

How many weeks: 26

Symptoms: Getting more uncomfortable, but still feeling pretty good, overall. Sleep isn't great, back aches sometimes, swollen feet/ankles when it's really hot and humid. But feeling thankful that I still feel good.

Baby Bump: Getting bigger every day.

Food Cravings/Aversions: None...wondering if I'll even get any cravings if I haven't yet?

What else is going on: Doing my glucose test this week, so keeping my fingers crossed for good results.
We had another ultrasound last week...and she's still a girl! Kevin's friend told him that at their first ultrasound they were told it was a girl, and then at the next one they found out it was actually a boy, so Kevin wanted to make sure they double checked at this one :)
We registered at Buy Buy Baby and Target last weekend and oh my word was that overwhelming! I had asked advice from other parents and made a list and we were still totally overwhelmed. So many things!
Kevin's brother and mom came and painted the nursery for us this week. Can't wait to start getting some furniture in there so we can start decorating!
