Hello Third Trimester

STATS

How far along: 28 weeks.  I can still see my feet but getting big.

How big is baby: She is approx 2.5 lbs and the size of a large eggplant

Weight gain: Honestly, not sure.  Last Monday I weighed 147 but then Tues night I got the flu.  When I weighed myself Friday I had lost 4 lbs.  I have not weighed myself since b/c I don't want to see the number since all I have been eating is carbs.  So I am sure I have put back on the weight and then some.

Sleep: Knock on wood, my sleeping has been better since being sick.  Fri and Sat I slept entirely through the night not even waking to pee.  Sun was a different story but had a good night again last night.

Best moment of the week:  Waking up Saturday morning finally feeling better.  My appetite was back so I asked my husband to take me to my favorite breakfast spot.  I am supposed to be on a high protein diet since the Dr. is concerned about my weight gain but that has gone out the window.  My first day back feeling good and I consumed banana fosters french toast for breakfast, bagel bites for lunch, and pork with noodles for dinner.  What can I say, I am addicted to carbs!  They just taste better!!!

Symptoms:  Boy oh boy has restless leg syndrome kicked in hard.  I use to only experience it in bed occasionally while trying to fall asleep.   But this week I have been suffering while sitting on the couch after dinner.  So much so that I was doing hot laps around my house last night to try and will it away. 

What I missed: I had to miss out on our Girls Annual Holiday Dinner at Melting Pot.  I was looking forward to it so much and already had dinner planned in my head from the first course - dessert.  However, I did teach myself to crochet in order to make a blanket for my girlfriends new little boy and another girlfriend of mine picked it up so it could be hand delivered.  Watch out as I get the hang of this crocheting thing, everyone might be getting crocheted gifts during the next year. 

Not to shabby for a first timer.
