Last week, I did end up going to see the chiropractor. He found the injury in my back from work, and adjusted me. I felt so much better afterwards! After going every few days since then, I've felt a little sore and achy, but not too bad. I did get snow tires on my car finally, which turns my car into a champ driving around in the bad weather here in Maine! I had another busy and tough week at work, but made it through! Really looking forward to after the holidays! We had a crazy ice storm come in last weekend - here are a few pictures:
We met with our doula on Saturday morning, and we're really excited about her! She's still in training to be a doula, but we definitely felt comfortable with her, and we're really looking forward to having her around for the Zane's birth. Her role will mostly be in supporting Steve during the birth, that way if he needs a break or to step away for a minute, he can do that without feeling like he's abandoning me. She'll also help with explaining medical procedures and pain relief options, without deciding for us.
Zane should be measuring just under 15 inches this week, and weigh about 2 1/4 pounds. He's putting on more fat, which is smoothing out his skin and making him less wrinkly. His eyes are continuing to develop, and his brain is developing millions of neurons! His lungs are also most likely mature enough by now that he could be born with less complications.
Here's me at 28 weeks:
How far along? 28 Weeks
Maternity clothes? Pretty much all I wear, my normal shirts only cover about 2/3 of my belly lol
Total Weight Gain: Gained 2 pounds this week, still leaving me down 2 pounds from pre-pregnancy
Sleep: Some legs cramps keep me up, but if I have some milk and bananas before bed, it's better. My hips have started to hurt at night too, so I have to constantly switch sides that I'm sleeping on.
Best moment this week: I've enjoyed Christmas shopping with Steve this week, and looking forward to next year, when we'll have a little one to buy for :)
Miss Anything? Man I wish I could have a cold turkey sandwich - that's all I want for lunch some days, but the listeria risk isn't worth it :(
Movement: He's a very active little boy! Sometimes kicking me so hard that it really startles me!
Food cravings: I've still been craving milk a lot!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Just random smells that bother me
Any other symptoms? Heartburn, though not too bad this week, and fatigue - I've been napping a lot this week - I barely have enough energy to make it through work, and after that, all I want to do is sleep!
Have you started to show yet: Getting a little bit bigger :)
Gender prediction: It's a boy!
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On, no swelling yet
Happy or Moody most of the time: Pretty tired, but staying positive :)
Looking forward to: All of the next week - it's Christmastime!!!
