28 weeks.

28 weeks on easter weekend.

craving: chocolate cake!! which i was with brady at easter too (http://peanutapostle.blogspot.com/2012/04/30-weeks.html) so funny that both times i was pregnant over easter, i wanted to eat an entire chocolate cake with chocolate icing! so i made myself a cake, and ate a lot of pieces over the next couple days, and it was SO GOOD.  i'm glad i don't have one sitting around all the time or i would gain 85 pounds :)  i wore the same dress for easter too, just for the fun of it.

weight gain: 19 pounds. better than with my pregnancy with brady. i gained a bit too much with him. i remember my doc telling me "slow down!" haha but i was just constantly hungry with him and ate everything in sight. i felt good the whole pregnancy so i don't regret it, but this time around i eat more normally (like i would if i wasn't pregnant) and am exercising 4-5 days a week and still feeling good doing that, so i'm grateful for a little less weight. 

i asked my doc at this week's appointment if i was more or less likely to have an early baby again & she said more likely! she said they'll start checking me weekly at 34 weeks this pregnancy instead of 36 weeks and to be ready to have another early baby. which means, less than 10 weeks to go potentially?? a little scary. i have a lot to do still...

by the end of the day, my pelvis and hips are achy which i didn't have til the very end with brady. i guess second time around my body is a little more tired. but otherwise i'm still feeling good, not having any swelling, able to carry brady around and do my normal activities. very grateful for this pregnancy and for feeling so good this far into it.
