28 Week Update!

supposed to be me "steppin"

Steppin into the 3rd Trimester people!  It is crazy to say that--time really does go by quite fast.
 
These days I go from pretty exhausted/tired to energized/super motivated.  Some days/hours I'm just pooped and other days/hours I'm up and goin!
 
Sleeping is the worst.  I rotate between cuddling a full body pillow and using a normal sized pillow between my knees.  I get tired of both. Between peeing a couple times a night and my sides going numb from sleeping on them too long, each night is an adventure. My last few weeks of sleep might end up being in our recliner.
 
Haven't really had any crazy or weird cravings. Although, I was wanting cheesecake real bad and our friends were serving it for desert on Sunday.....AWESOME! Happy pregnant lady!

I had my 28 week checkup yesterday and we're both doing great! Belly is measuring exactly 28 cm and babygirl has a healthy heartbeat :) From here on out we have bi-monthlyl appointments. This is getting real folks!

As you've probably already gathered, I'm seeing a midwife instead of an OB and will deliver @ their birth center instead of the hospital.  If you want to learn more you can check them out here. I've been beyond happy with the midwives and am soooooooo excited to be under their care.  I feel way at peace and comfortable with their approach to prenatal care, labor, and delivery--exactly what I was looking for.
 
Work. ohhhhhh work...I really have to hand it to the women who work all the way through their pregnancy and even up to the point of going into labor--it is not the easiest thing in the world!  The more time goes on, the less capacity I have to handle things. The emotions are high usually and getting overwelmed doesn't take too much--gotta love those hormones right?
