28 Weeks

and I might still have one more spin class left in me...

So, it's begun. Really, it began a little while ago, but now the comments for sure come full force:

"When are you due?" When I say April, their eyes get all big, and it's usually followed by this comment, "You look like you're going to pop!" or this comment, "How many do you have in there????"

My belly is officially in my lap. My upper thighs bump my belly during spin class. Mallary comes to sit on my lap and sits on my belly. My jeans are getting smaller. I have already gained more weight than I have gained with either of my other pregnancies, and I still have until April... What's so funny is that in both of my other pregnancies I never exercised, and this pregnancy I started out weighing less than the other one's too. I did realize, however, that I'm drinking a lot of my calories. One night, at dinnertime, I finished the last drop of my THIRD glass of milk, and then it hit me - I just drank well over 300 calories! Yikes! Plus my dinner!!!! A serving size of milk is 1/2 cup! So, yes. I've got milk.

My favorite item this pregnancy has been this style of jeans: (not necessarily the Gap brand where this image is from, but this full panel style of jeans)

I will never buy another type of jeans again when I'm pregnant! When I was pregnant with Trevan they didn't make this style the same. They came half way up the belly with drawstrings. I basically thought that style of jeans were equivalent to granny panties. Now, they are heaven sent. Also, with Trevan I was able to wear my regular jeans a lot longer, with just the hair band through the button hole trick. But, now I get bigger so much lower anything around that part of my belly is TOTALLY annoying, and very uncomfortable. Plus, you end up showing your crack to everyone when you bend over, I never have to worry about that with these jeans. This style of jeans are wonderful! Plus, they create better lines. You don't have love handle type things hanging over the side of your lower elastic waisted maternity jeans. Luckily, now most all stores carry some type of these. But, if the kind you have has a wider waistband, and you can't tell if it's tacked down anywhere, sew it down yourself, or the elastic twists underneath the material, and you've lost your smooth, clean lines. FYI: Most Old Navy and Liz Lange jeans you have to do that to. They should really know better...

My baby is having fun practicing gymnastics, or soccer, whatever it is, but "it" is super active and crazy. A sign of things to come???

At my appointment on Tuesday, when the Doctor said, "We'll see you in two weeks," I was like, "What?" He replied, "you're in your third trimester now." Where has this pregnancy gone?????

People apologize to me after they make a comment about how big I am, (because really, it's hard to control that thought when you look at me), but I tell them, it's okay. It doesn't bother me. I am what I am. I really could care less. I could even care less when people touch my belly, unlike when I was pregnant with Trevan. It really is strange that strangers just want to touch your belly. But, now I get it. You feel the need to touch things, when you aren't sure if something is real or not. Like they can't believe their eyes or something... Ha Ha!

Like, last night I was walking in the grocery store, and I heard someone yell my name. I turned around and I saw one of my friends laughing. She said, "I didn't even see your face. I just saw your belly and knew it was you!"

Like I said, I am what I am.

I'm a little worried, this baby is coming too fast!!! It's going to be here before I know it!!
