How far along: 28 weeks - only 12 left! I know I've been saying it for a while, but I can hardly believe I'm this far along already!
Weight gain/loss: A lot. =P Let's just leave it at that.
Body changes: Not so much lately...other than the growing belly, of course. =)

Gender: It's a girl!
Movement: Lots of it on and off throughout the day. She's getting bigger and running out of room, so I feel her a lot more now which I'm totally fine with. =) She's not super active, but she does have her moments.
Sleep: It's been okay for the most part since we got back from the mainland. I still get up a couple times a night, but I'm used to that now. What I'm not used to is being met with heartburn when I get up at night. Grrr.
What I'm looking forward to: Hearing her heartbeat at the doctor tomorrow, finishing a quilt I'm working on for her and getting her room ready!
What I miss: Not having heartburn all the time and sleeping on my stomach.
Cravings: Still just craving sweet stuff. I rarely have specific cravings.
Symptoms: HEARTBURN. It's absolutely awful. For the past 3 days, I've been eating Tums like they're candy. We will be addressing this at my appointment tomorrow. =) Then there's the hip and back pain which is becoming more common, but it doesn't happen all the time. Oh, and swelling... My closed-toed shoes {which I rarely wear anyway} are getting tight and I'm almost to the point where my rings won't come off.
Best moment this week: Setting her crib up, rearranging the room and ordering prints to hang up!
And because I can...
Worst moment this week:
1) Finding out my aunt isn't expected to live much longer. Please keep her, my uncle, cousins and the rest of our family in your prayers...
2)"Failing" the glucose test. =( I really wanted to cry. I'm only 9 points over, but they're making me do the 3 hour test. I am so upset about this... I was kind of worried about it, but told myself that I'm fine and it would come back normal. So wrong. And I'm curious if I really should fast before the test. The nurse I spoke with before and after today's test said that I should, but I'm hearing from others that I should eat toast and peanut butter beforehand. Thoughts? Suggestions?
