Alternate title: 28ish weeks
Time is flying and also going so slow. I can hardly believe that there's only 12 weeks (give or take) before we meet our little guy! But on the other hand, it's like COME ON how am I supposed to wait 12 more weeks?
Things are still going pretty good. I've been getting heartburn more often at night, so I am working on not eating too late, and not going to bed right after eating. Our little guy is moving a lot these days. Last night, he gave a couple of really good, strong kicks that Adam got to feel, and I said to Adam, "if he's kicking that hard now and he only weighs just over 2 pounds, how hard is he going to kick and elbow me later??" :-D
My only other complaint/issue is a stuffy nose that has gotten worse since Monday night. I've had a stuffy nose off and on since I got pregnant, but Tuesday I went through at least 40 tissues throughout the day at work. I even took my temperature, just to make sure I wasn't actually "sick," and I was at 98.2. So no worries about a fever, but goodness gracious my nose has been bothering me. I wish I could just take a deep breath through my nose!! We moved the humidifier into our room (we've been keeping the door closed for house-heating purposes) and I think that has been helping, because the last two nights I've actually been able to breathe enough through my nose to sleep! The days before that I literally had to breathe through my mouth to get enough oxygen, which made my throat really dry.
Other than that... things are going well! Took 28 weeks pictures on Wednesday, and I think I look bigger in the pictures than in real life... I guess that's what they mean when they say the camera adds 10 pounds or whatever? I mean, don't get me wrong, I know I'm big - I'm growing a human, after all. But I see myself in the mirror, and I don't think I'm as big as I look in the pictures. Whatever - all that really matters is that Baby and I are healthy, and that he's growing and developing as he needs to!!
