28 weeks

Of course I was going to post week 27, and then that didn't happen, but here is week 28!

 

 

 

How far along? 28 weeks (7 months) Third Trimester!!

Total weight gain/measurements: 7lbs! Woah, were did all this weight come from all of a sudden? I guess I shouldn't complain. Some people have gained a lot more than 7lbs by now. But I'm healthy and so is the baby, so that is all that matters!

Size Of Baby: About 2 1/4lbs and 14.8 inches long. No wonder I gained some weight!

Sleep: I'm sleeping a little bit better now. I wake up about 2 times a night to pee. Sometimes more, depending on how much I drank before bed.

Maternity clothes: I have A pair of XS maternity pants and XS maternity shorts that I wear. Other than that, I use my belly band. I have a few maternity tops I bought on clearance, but I mostly wear regular shirts. Or fitted t-shirts that I got a size bigger.

Stretch marks? No pregnancy stretch marks yet.

Best moment this week: More people finally noticing I'm pregnant. They aren't always sure when they ask, but its nice to be asked!

 

Miss anything? Lunch meat. Seeing my feet sometimes. Energy Drinks!

 

Movement: Constantly! This child doesn't stop moving! She is definitely her daddy's child.

Cravings?: Fruit, Chocolate, lunch meat, wine, and meatball subs! (I indulged in the chocolate, fruit, and sub lol).

Anything making you queasy or sick? Hamburger meat. I used to love it, but I cant eat it now.

Gender: She is a girl!

Labour signs: I haven't had any, which is a good thing!

Symptoms: Peeing, back pain, cramping, discharge, my pelvic area has been really sore. 

Belly button in or out? In.

Happy or moody most of the time: I'm always pretty happy. Unless I'm exhausted or starving

Baby related purchases?: Nothing new. We did our registry though!

Looking forward to: Another Ultrasound! Decorating the Nursery! Having her! I dreamed about having her and now I'm impatient! I want her!

Scary

*Warning post might be TMI*
On Monday, I had the day off so my mom and I decided to do some shopping for our little girl. We didn't stay out too long, and I made sure I ate, kept hydrated, and rested when I could. By the time I got home, I was a little crampy and just felt crappy. I decided to take a Tylenol and go to bed early. I went to sleep around 10, and other than getting up at 7am to pee, I slept in until 11am! It felt good.

The scary thing was when I got up at 11 and went to the bathroom, I noticed pink on the toilet paper. The water in the toilet was also red tinged. I called the Dr.s office and they said to go to the hospital. I peed a few more times before I left (I still had to change and get a few things to take to the hospital since I had literally just woken up). Every time, it seemed like things were getting worse. I started to get little ity bitty clots. I was getting cramps and getting scared more and more by the minute.

By the time we got to the hospital, I was taken straight up to labor and delivery. I had to undress and pee in a cup. When I went to pee in a cup, the whole thing was red. Not yellow like pee should be, but a dark red. I also had more clots. I completely lost it. I started freaking out and crying. Luckily my mom was there. I just started yelling for her. The nurse was trying to help my mom calm me down long enough to get undressed so I could be hooked up to the monitors. My mom managed to help me and I got hooked up to hear baby girl's strong and steady heartbeat. She was also moving like crazy.

They did so many tests to try to make sure I wasn't dilated and that I didn't have any infections or anything else. The Dr. had thought my water might have partially broken and started leaking and then caused an infection. The nurse thought maybe a UTI, but I didn't have a single symptom for it other than the blood. I spent a good 5 hours in the hospital. I was released with antibiotics and was told to follow up with a dr. in a few days, as long as nothing got worse. They still weren't able to tell me what was wrong by the time I left, so hopefully the medicine helps. So far I am doing better, but I still will have fresh blood or tiny clots here and there.

So Im sorry I haven't posted, but I have a few posts for you guys since I was behind. I have my 25 week update and some pictures from my shopping spree!
