28 Week Bumpdate

How far along? 28 weeks - THIRD TRIMESTER AHHHH!
Size of baby? A tropical coconut! It sure looks like I have a coconut in under my belly!
Pregnancy Symptoms?
Sleep? Sleep has been alright for me but the really exciting thing about sleep this week is not so much for me… but for baby! I learned that she might be starting to dream at this point! How cool is that??
Cravings? I had the strongest craving for cottage cheese with peaches this week! I ate some every single day and looooved it.
Anything making you queasy? Not much! I’ve even been chowing down on some leftover chocolate Halloween candy! (Btw, if you haven’t tried the Reese’s cups stuffed with Reese's Pieces, you NEED to!)
Name? This had to be mentioned this week! So… the name is and will remain a secret. BUT we MIGHT have come up with a game changer. This whole time, we have been pretty set on a certain name (one we’ve talked about since before we were even engaged). But we went to the movies over the weekend and there was one character whose name stood out to me. The entire movie I just kept thinking of this name and liking it more and more. When we came out, I mentioned the name to Kendal and he really liked it to! It just has such a pretty ring to it :) So… while I still LOVE our first idea (and the thought of not using it makes me feel kind of sad/ like I am cheating on it) there will be some competition once she has made her official arrival and we can decide which suits her more!
Baby movement? Always! She’s a strong little missy :)
Best moment this week? I’ve started swimming laps at the pool and it is freaking amaaazing. It feels so good to be in the water and I feel like it gives me more energy throughout the day! I just really love everything about it and I’m really not sure why I didn’t start doing it sooner?!
Weird pregnancy moment? Weird things really aren’t that weird to me at this point. I’ve just accepted that I have little to no control over what my body does at this point haha!
What I’m looking forward to? I’m really looking forward to the baby shower my angel Mother-in-law and aunt are throwing for me! It’s made me realize how many amazing people I have in my life. With my own mom in India, it’s comforting to know there are so many people here who love and support me! Also, I’ve held off buying A LOT of stuff and when the third tri officially hit, I got super anxious thinking about everything we still need to get and do before baby comes. But I’m so thankful there are so many women in my corner who will help me and give me advice on all things baby!
