week 28 1/2 (2nd ed.)
So I'm late. No, not that kind of late. Well, actually, that kind of late as well. Very, very late in that regard. Anyway, I'm closer to Week 29 than 28 now but the picture belongs to 28 1/2 so we'll stick with that. Total weight gain: About 21 pounds (confirmed by doctor's scale last Wednesday). One pound more than where I was last time. Feeling quite big already. Movement: More of the same--still very active. He's big enough to hurt me now, which is fun. Gotta love it when you're talking and then sound crazy as you're disciplining someone who isn't even visible. Or, you know, able to be disciplined. Cravings: Ho hum. Sweets. But trying to avoid them. Similarities: Crazy dreams, baby brain, forgetfulness, lots of waking in the middle of the night, general discomfort. Differences: Freakin' ridiculous sciatica. This started around Week 26 and was REALLY bad from Week 27-28.5. Luckily, it has since gotten slightly better.
