Hi 3rd tri! 28 weeks!

How far along:  28 weeks

Size of baby: Eggplant. DeeJ makes an awesome Eggplant Parmesan.

What's going on in my belly: She's moving alot. I can feel her rolling around and watching my stomach move up and down is strange looking but fascinating.

Maternity Clothes: Combo again. Definitely maternity bottoms, but managed to squeeze into regular shirts.

Stretch Marks: Nope

Sleep: Still grrr... I'll explain below.

Symptoms: Tired, tired, and more tired. I'm not getting any sleep. I can deal with getting up every 2-3 hours to pee, but the hip pain is borderline unbearable. I can fall asleep, but halfway through the night, whichever side I'm laying on, my hip just starts hurting. So I switch to the other side and about an hour later, that side starts hurting too. I spend all night turning back and forth and by morning, both sides of my hips feel sore and tender. My pillows aren't working anymore. DeeJ suggested a heating pad, but I get so hot at night so that's not an option either.

Best Moment of the Week: We have a two-fer! I went to see a chiropractor and got my first prenatal massage! Both were AWESOME. They both noted my hip problem and basically there's not much I can do except to keep blood circulating using an exercise ball and make sure that I stand and sit with my legs at least hip width apart.

Miss Anything: High heel shoes. Hell, I miss my shoes in general. I've been wearing flats but even those don't last through the day. At work, my feet are swollen by noon. One day this week, I just wore sneakers. It was so comfy and quite frankly, they were so hard to tie that I couldn't see myself bending over to do that again.

Cravings/Aversions: Still cheese.

Showing Yet: Hell yeah.

Mood: I'm good! I'm sure the massage played a big part in that.

What I am Looking Forward to: My glucose test. Well, sort of. I'm not looking forward to drinking that orange stuff, but am looking forward to getting it over with. I hope I pass. I hope I pass.
