How far along:
28 weeks! 3rd trimester already! I guess as much as I need things to slow down this time around that won't be happening...the countdown begins.
Total weight gain:
I was just doing my preview and realized I didn't answer this question...and the thought about walking downstairs to weigh myself and then back up here to finish this post crossed my mind...but my body said "nope!" I think I have gained 3 or 4 pounds since last time though.
Size and growth of the baby:
About the size of a large eggplant. 2 and 1/4 pounds and between 14 and 15 inches long!
I think he is bigger than that though...he just seems really big to me.

Sex:
BOY!
Yes. Give me all things comfy.
Sleep:
Pretty good. I think due to the chaos and just sheer exhaustion.
Best moment(s) of the week:
Best moment(s) of the week:
So many showings! Our house has been on the market less than a week and I think we have had 8 now. Matt was pretty concerned with if it would sell or not, but our realtors are feeling pretty confident with the amount of action we are getting. So hopefully that means we will hear something next week!
We also went house shopping up north for the first time yesterday. There aren't a whole lot of options up there, which has had me so discouraged lately...but it was nice to actually get into a few houses and look around and talk with our agent more.

Movement:

He is seeming to be just as active as his older brother was.

Give me all the junk food!
And also apples.
Morning sickness:

Symptoms:
Symptoms:
Finally off my darn heart monitor!
My hips have started hurting lately. I really feel like this baby is big.
And pelvic pain has started already! I think because he feels so big and heavy...but it already feels like my pelvis is being torn in two. All I can think is...don't let this baby come yet! Our life is chaos right now and he needs to cook as long as possible!

Labor signs :
A lot of contractions.
Belly button in or out:
Out! I had forgotten the bellybutton pain that came along with it from when I had Reagan, but it is back. I feel so dumb when I say "ugh...my bellybutton hurts!" Any other commiserating mamas?
What I miss:
My home. Is it possible to do that already?
I NEVER imagined being torn when an opportunity came to move up north, but there are so many unknowns and things are happening so fast and it is ridiculous the amount of times I have cried. I keep telling people as long as I don't think about it I am fine. If I have a task like "clean this room, or pack these boxes" I am fine, but if I think about WHY I am doing that then I lose it.
We have spent so much time and energy making this house or home...and I love it so much. This is where we brought Reagan home and where he rolled over for the first time and learned to walk. This is where I had imagined bringing the next baby home. I am just really going to miss this house.
What I'm looking forward to:

What I'm looking forward to:
I am looking forward to my next appt. I feel like there are so many things I need to go over with my doctor...including if I should try to get a new doctor up north or keep him through the end of the pregnancy. I feel like I need his opinion!
I'm looking forward to looking at more houses next week. Praying that more come on the market in the next few days!
