28 Weeks!

How far along? 28 Weeks
Total weight gain: I just gave up counting...

Sleep: Still not sleeping past 6:30, but my naps are getting longer and more frequent.
Best moment this week:  We had our first shower this past weekend with our Supper Club group. I am so blessed that we have found a group of friends that are fun and have growing families too. I told Josh the other night that it warms my heart to know Maddie will have a group of friends to grow up with that are close in age. 
Miss Anything? Clothes! Nothing fits, looks good, or feels right. I also miss working out! Yes I said it; I miss working out. It made me feel so good afterwards and there's nothing more I can do now except for a short walk.

Looking forward to: Josh and I go to birthing class this weekend. I can't wait to see Josh's face when he watches the video. I will be sure to blog about our adventure!

My Saving Grace during Pregnancy!

So the other day someone asked me what have been the essentials since I've been pregnant. There have been 3 things that every pregnant woman should have during this time.


The first thing you HAVE to have is Antacids!! Yes, these things taste like chalk, but they work! I have a bottle of these in my purse, in my desk at school, and by my bedside table. Get some, you'll thank yourself when it's midnight and it feels like your insides are on fire!!

I have a friend who told me about this product. She was later on into her pregnancy and was talking about how much trouble she was having putting lotion on her legs, until she found this. Like sunscreen in a spray can this is lotion. Spray it on, and there you go. You really don't even have to rub it in. This has been a lifesaver for me because 1: It's hard to bend over and rub lotion in, and 2: I was already lazy about putting lotion on and now that I'm pregnant it's gotten worse.

And of course this lotion is great for stretch marks. The same friend who told me about the spray lotion gave me my first tub of Udderly Smooth . I put it on after I get out of the shower and so far, no stretch marks! I've seen this product in Big Lots before, but a Farmer's Co-Op store sells it for sure! 

Hope this can help some pregnant woman out.
