28 Weeks: What I Know Now

- I absolutely loathe heartburn. I cannot believe how bad it is already. And I still feel like I have forever and ever to go.

- I just want to say how much I love our doctor. (Dr. Judd). He delivered alot of my siblings, Jord & alot of his siblings. He's been an OBGYN for over 40 years... which means he knows what he's doing. I just feel like our "chemistry" works with him. He always spends as much time with us as we need. He answers all of my questions. I just really like him alot.

- Baby Girl has found a very uncomfortable resting place for her feet in my right ribs.. just like her big sister. Some of those kicks reeealllllyyyyy hurt and make my whole body jolt. Not fun.

- I've gained 15 lbs so far. Still doing pretty good about working out.

- I'm starting to lose more and more sleep. There are alot of reasons. But the main one is that my hips THROB at night. I have to switch to the other side, what feels like, every hour. I seriously can't believe how much, and how easy, they hurt. 

- I have these weird "episodes" where I all-of-a-sudden feel like i'm going to pass out. It's hard to find relief unless I can immediately lay down on a flat surface. I think that i've figured out it's just a really bad combination of pregnancy, bad circulation, and heat. But it's no fun.

- I have become horribly addicted to shopping for this baby girl. Because she will be born in the opposite season as rowan, we really had to start over with the clothes (minus the jammies). I mean, i'm not complaining or anything. ha ha!

- I am losing energy quickly. We have been quite busy lately, but I still feel like I lack a ton of energy these days.

- My back is killing me. Especially when im really active and moving one day, I almost have to crawl around my house the next day it's so bad. I really didn't ever experience this with rowan. My doctor just keeps telling me, "each pregnancy gets harder and harder on your body." yay. ; /

- I'm happy to be in the third and final trimester, wahoo!
