3rd Trimester!! 28 Weeks!

So here we are! In the 3rd and FINAL TRIMESTER!! Not much going on this past week- went to the doctors on monday morning and they did not resolve anything I was going for... All they wanted to do was give me Tylenol with Codine and I declined... but I see my OB on Thursday for my 28wk checkup, glucose screening and also for our big 3D ultrasound!! So hopefully they will have some answers for me as to what I should do about this horrible pain! So not much else going on, just doing some much needed winter cleaning- We still need to get the queen size bed out of the nursery and put a futon in there to expand our space so we can sort some things out- also going to take the desk out of there (not sure where to put it though?) but that will leave us with enough room to fit everything we need in there!! I have been feeling baby girl hiccup A LOT lately, and she loves just rolling around in there like a little goober!
Lucas treated me to a MUCH NEEDED pedicure the other night, so of course that was great for me!! However I went to bed in the worst amount of pain from my sciatica, and woke up with it this morning so I'm trying to take it easy and make the best of it until I speak to my doctor on Thursday! I took a few extra pictures today because I was so late with last weeks post and I didn't have much of a "belly pic" so without further ado, here are the pics from this week! & last week
Enjoy and I will have en extra post in here on Thursday night with our 3D pictures of our princess!!!

 

Your Baby in Week 28 of Pregnancy

Your baby is settling into the proper position for birth, with his head facing downward (toward your body's nearest exit!). Your little work in progress is now about 2.5 pounds and almost 16 inches long. He's busy adding new skills such as blinking to an already impressive repertoire of tricks like coughing, sucking, hiccuping, and taking practice breaths. Your baby's sleep now includes the REM (rapid eye movement) phase — and that means he could be dreaming already (what do you suppose he's dreaming about?).

Your Body in Week 28 of Pregnancy

While it's good news that your baby is settling into the right position for childbirth (since you're now entering the third trimester), the potentially painful news is his head — plus the weight of your uterus — may now be sitting on your sciatic nerve, which runs through the lower part of your back, buttocks, and legs. This common condition (called sciatica) can cause sharp, shooting pain and/or tingling or numbness, starting in your rear end and radiating down the backs of your legs. The best thing to do for sciatica (and the rest of your week 28 aches and woes)? Take it easy — and hope your baby changes position sooner rather than later.
