30 weeks


How far along? 30 weeks 3 days
Total weight gain/loss: about 25 pounds 
Maternity clothes? Maternity clothes mixed with some normal clothes. This is a maternity dress, but could totally be used afterwards
Stretch marks? My hips arent't hangin in there, but my stomach is still good
Sleep: Pretty good. Everyone always says sleep on your left side, but when I try to be on my left side baby girl nails me in the ribs. So as long as I am on my right side I'm good.
Best moment this week: Birthday shenanigans 
Worse moment this week: Finding out I definitely have gestational diabetes. ): No more yummy food and lots of finger pricking from now on. It really stinks but I am hanging in there. As I've mentioned before it runs in my family so there is nothing I could have done to prevent it.
Have you told family and friends: Everyone knows
Miss Anything? Not much, just wanting to feel normal again.
Movement: Lots of movement, feeling little body parts poking out and moving around :D
Food cravings: Peppermint, *sugar free* cookies, and milk
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing is really making me sick.
Gender: Pretty princess!
Symptoms: Not being able to hang while walking around stores
Labor Signs: Hopefully not for a while longer.
Belly Button in or out? Still getting more and more shallow.
Wedding rings on or off? On  
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!!
Looking forward to: Christmas, and nesting.

28 weeks


How far along? 28 weeks 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: about 23 pounds >.< 
Maternity clothes? Maternity clothes mixed with some normal clothes.
Stretch marks? Found a couple under my breasts, but my stomach is still doing well!
Sleep: Not so bad this week. Only waking up 2-3 times in the night and can fall back asleep pretty easily. The cold weather has helped.
Best moment this week: Spending lots of time with family for the holidays. School semester is starting to come to an end, which means baby girl is getting closer and closer to coming!
Worse moment this week: Finding out I failed my 1 hour glucose test. GD runs in my family so it's not too surprising, but I am really hoping I pass the 3 hour.
Have you told family and friends: Everyone knows
Miss Anything? Eating normal food and feeling normal in general. I missed being able to sip on some wine with my thanksgiving meal, but its totally worth it. 
Movement: Lots of movement, something new is instead of big kicks I can feel her just wiggling around it there. I swear sometimes I can feel a little hand or foot softly push against my stomach. 
Food cravings: Peppermint has been a big one lately.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Still not a fan of meats...but I'm trying to introduce them back slowly.
Have you started to show yet: I would say yes for sure.
Gender: Pretty princess!
Symptoms: Back pain as always, heart burn got worse to the point I decided to get medicine for it, started to feel some rib pain as she gets bigger.
Labor Signs: Hopefully not for a while longer.
Belly Button in or out? Still getting more and more shallow.
Wedding rings on or off? On  
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!!
Looking forward to: My birthday, CHRISTMAS, and finishing school so I can start to nest and prepare for my baby!
