28 Weeks

I have made it to the 3rd trimester. Definetely feeling like I am in the 3rd because I just feel like I am getting big everywhere. The last 8 weeks have been the very different than the first 20 because I actually look and feel pregnant. Baby boy is growing straight out and not on the sides so I feel like I am carrying this big basketball. I feel like I have eaten more in the last 4 weeks than I have throughout my whole pregnancy and I think it shows. I have to be careful to not eat too much otherwise I get full and my stomach is very uncomfortable. My eyes are way bigger than my stomach (literal stomach). :)

Tomorrow is my doc appt. and my glucose screening so I will probably have more to report then. I am nervous for my screening since I have blood sugar issues and hope that I don't have gestational diabetes. Also baby boy was measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule last time so we will see if he is still big.

Changes to note-

• I can eat anything now including steak and chicken but don't have any weird cravings
• Must eat dessert every night
• Thirsty a lot more
• My stomach itches when baby grows for a couple of days
• I pee a million times a day, way more than before
• Baby boy kicks a lot in the lower stomach or top right side (I think his head is under my right rib right now)
• My hair and nails are growing like crazy
• Skin is amazing
• I wake up with butt cramps from laying on my sides
• My veins are MUCH more noticable in the stomach area and it creeps me out
• Have lots of energy at work and home and not really all that tired

I took some more pictures but my photographer seems to have trouble capturing the actual belly. I think these will do and that you can see some changes from 4 weeks ago.
