Bumpdates: Baby 2: Week 28

How Far Along:
28 Weeks, Hello third trimester!

Size of baby:
an eggplant

Total Weight Gain:
9lbs

Stretch Marks: 

Nothing that wasn't Addison induced

Maternity Clothes:
yes...the belly taketh over.

Gender:
It's a BOY!

Movement:
oh yes, I think he's a jumping bean

Sleep:
I NEED more, as in I'm seriously starting to lose it and I know my lack of proper sleep is 90% of the cause.  But not being able to go to bed till after 9pm (which is usually damn near 11pm or later) and waking up by 4:30 is my ONLY option so yippie.

What I miss:
My sanity, I knew work after a short week would be brutal but good god this week is killing me.  Tired, stressed too much to do not nearly enough hours to accomplish it all. BLAH.

Food Cravings:    

So hungry all the time. Nothing in particular this week, just want my candy.  

Food Aversions: 
notta

Symptoms:
over emotional, over stressed, on the verge of murder.....I mean really I've wanted to kill people this week.  Lots of being kicked to the point of pain inducing!  Kid is already violent like his momma.

Best Moment This Week:

My mom took Addison for two nights over the weekend so as much as I hate giving up my kid on my free days to spend with her, her threenage attitude lately has had me needing a SERIOUS break.  Unfortunately my free time didn't involve much extra "FUN" for me but I did get some things accomplished at home that I have a hard time doing with a three year old running the house!

What I’m looking forward to: 

Maternity Leave.  So close, yet SO SO far away!!!

Addison's 2013 Chrismas Wish List

I figured since this is the first year that Addison really is getting the whole idea of Christmas and making wish lists I should document the biggest/most talked about ideas on her Christmas Wish List.  It is the most hilarious thing in the world to hand her a toy catalog right now because she will "ohh, ooh I need this, I want that" over everything whether she needs/wants/knows what it is or not.  SO FUNNY!

tops on her list are:

iPad:  (really you are three!!! THREE!!!!  This came about randomly one day when out of the blue she shouted "I know what I want for Christmas!  I want a phone just like you guys!  No!  I want and iPad!"  and now she's stuck on it.  #1 on her list

Doc McStuffin's Doctor Kit:

and this Talking Tom toy:

The rest of her ideas aren't permanent and change from day to day.  Anything Doc McStuffins, Octonauts, Team Umizoomi makes the list.

Bumpdates: Baby 2: Week 27

400th post, this here little blog's been around a while considering before I was pregnant I was having a hard time sitting down to type anything!

How Far Along:
27 Weeks

Size of baby:
A rutabaga

Total Weight Gain:
8.5lbs

Stretch Marks: 

Nothing that wasn't Addison induced

Maternity Clothes:
yes...the belly taketh over.

Gender:
It's a BOY!

Movement:
lots!

Sleep:
not much of a problem this week, waking up more from laying in an uncomfortable position for too long but nothing that I'm losing sleep over yet.

What I miss:
walking for miles without feeling like I need a support belt to hold my belly up!

Food Cravings:    

I've never looked like more of a stereotypical pregnant lady than I did at the Meijer check out this week after work one day.  A bag of oranges, a couple of ribeye steaks, a bag of jelly beans (oh how I love my jelly beans) and parsnips.  Why parsnips?  Because Food Network mentioned them on one of their shows and my pregnant brain just HAD to have them NOW.  (They were delicious by the way!)

Food Aversions: 
nothing in particular but it does have to "sound good" at the time for me to want to eat it!

Symptoms:
nothing too awful this week, lots of low abdomen pain when I walk around/bend over too much throughout the day.  

Best Moment This Week:

having a shortened work week!  Even if it only was 1 day shorter.

What I’m looking forward to: 

Since I was slow on posting this week I was looking forward to Thanksgiving and possible black Friday shopping.
