How far along: 28 weeks!
 
Baby is the size of an: eggplant

Total weight gain:  12 ish lbs
 
Maternity clothes: Yes, had to buy some maternity undies this week too.
 
Stretch marks: Just a couple, none on my belly though
 
Sleep: I can't seem to get enough!  It's like the first few weeks all over again. 
 
Best moment of this week: Finally picking out a theme for the nursery, get some Christmas shopping done, and some frozen meal planning done
 
Miss anything: being able to put my socks on standing up.  I have to sit down to put on my compression socks.  I also miss taking a nice super hot soak.  I know that I can take a bath, but I'm too nervous to do so.
 
Movement: Yes!  Between 8pm-12am there is a party in my uterus.  I get to watch my abdomen jump and dance and I know you're in there having a grand ole time!
 
Food cravings: Not really, I seem to have lost my appetite again.  Nothing really sounds good except water and Mt. Dew
 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Having an empty stomach
 
Have you started to show yet: Yes, it's fairly obvious now.  I had my first patient ask if I was pregnant last week.
 
Gender: It's a secret
 
Labor signs: Thankfully, no.
 
Belly button in or out: In
 
Wedding rings on or off: Still off
 
Happy or moody most of the time: Pretty happy with the occasional moody day thrown in there.
 
Looking forward to: Getting my hair done next week and getting a massage and pedicure the week after
