3rd Trimester - 28 Weeks!

I've officially hit the 3rd trimester!  I'm feeling pretty good and getting to the gym regularly for elliptical, treadmill, and weights.  I was definitely kidding myself thinking I could do classes while pregnant, but my routine is working well for now!  I passed my gestational diabetes test but they did find I have low hemoglobin/platelets, so I'm on extra iron and vitamin C.  I also got a prescription for better heartburn medication since the Pepcid wasn't cutting it!  Other than that, things seem good! 

How far along?: 28 weeks
Total weight gain: 18lbs.  Now that Thanksgiving/Christmas is over I'm hoping to stay on track to end up around 30lbs again.  I need to get ride of the 60 second microwave cinnamon rolls Nick bought though.....
How big is baby?: About 16 inches and 2.5 pounds
Maternity clothes?: Oh yes. 
Stretch marks? Nope, hoping this last baby doesn't do me in!
Sleep?: Sleeping well lately!
Best moment this week?: Washing all the newborn girl stuff!  I washed all the old newborn girl clothes, changing pad covers, Boppy cover, and burp clothes.  I got everything folded and sorted out...now we just need a dresser to put it in.
Movement?:  Quite a bit of movement, but mostly it's weird kicks or movement toward my back or something.  Not tons of big kicks right up front.  I do think I felt the first elbow or foot stretch and poke out for a couple of seconds though.  
Food cravings?: Geez, this girl is killing me with wanting cinnamon rolls, pancakes and syrup, and chocolate.  I don't eat too much of that stuff but definitely more than before. 
Labor signs?: Getting Braxton Hicks contractions pretty regularly, but it's all good.
Belly button in or out? Poking out/getting a little flatter every day.
What I miss: Not minding dirt or clutter.  Either my old age or this pregnancy (or a combo of both) really makes me crazy when the house is messy or dirty.  It drives me crazy!
What I'm looking forward to: I guess still painting baby girl's room.  Oops!  Didn't get to that yet.  Now that the holiday's are over, it's crunch time to focus on baby girl over the next two months to have things ready before my last month gets here.    

28 weeks!
