I've been so busy lately that I forgot about my one year blogiversary that was April 22! It's hard to imagine that I've been blogging for a year since it feels like it's only been a month or two. Thank you to everyone and anyone who reads my blog :-) For those of you that read and/or comment, I truly appreciate all of your kindness.
On to the update:
I learned at my last appointment that my due date may be pushed a week earlier so I may actually be 28 1/2 weeks. My baby shower is tomorrow! I can't wait to see loved ones and celebrate little Lucas :-)
The last time I did an update was at 21 weeks and my oh my have things changed and progressed...
Weight Gain?: I've gained a total of about 15 pounds.
Maternity Clothes?: Same maternity clothes and, unfortunately, pre-pregnancy tops are no longer fitting well.
Symptoms?: Lots of swelling so I'm cutting down on salt. I have tons of rib pain which makes it hard to sleep. More thirsty than ever. I was having horrible tooth pain around 25 weeks. I thought it was because of the pregnancy because I had gone to the dentist in October and no cavities were found. Well, turns out I needed a root canal. Having a root canal done at 6 months, with little to no pain medication and numbness was awful. Luckily, I didn't experience too much pain and it was more uncomfortable than painful afterwards.

Sleep?: I'm only getting up once or twice but rib pain keeps me up.
Do I miss anything?: Nope.
Movement?: YES!!!! He kicks allllllllllll the time! I had to laugh to myself the other day because I was at a court hearing and he kicked from start to finish. It was awesome :-)
Anything making you sick or queasy?: I still can't stand air fresheners.
Food cravings?: Nutella and apples, Japanese food, ciabatta bread with olive oil
Have you started to show?: YES.
Boy or a Girl?: Boy. I thought I would have a hard time buying boy clothes since I've never done that before but now I can't stop myself! Lucas may even have more clothes than his dad. Baby Gap is my favorite store so far.
Best Moment This Week?: My cousins and aunt are in town for my baby shower tomorrow! So excited!!

Baby Gap was and still is one of my favorite stores for my boys! I can't believe you had a root canal! I was in a wreck and had to have the back of my head sewn up with only tylenol....hurt but a root canal! Yikes!
