28 Week Journal...

How far along? 28 wks today
Total weight gain/loss: 22.6 lbs which is only approximately 3 lbs above where the target was so I'm not that far off at all.
Maternity Clothes: Mixture of both maternity & non-maternity shirts & sweaters, but the pants are mainly maternity for comfort sake
"Morning" Sickness: Nothing in a long time - I'm very lucky
Signs of Pregnancy: My back is now constantly in a state of "ache", Lack of sleep, dry skin, nose congestion & bloody noses, occassional Braxton Hicks contractions, the sciatica has gone away (fingers crossed)
Stretch Marks: a couple on my hip
Sleep: I don't sleep well at all - I'm always waking up a few times a night due to being uncomfortable but if this is my only complaint than we're doing VERY WELL!
Best moment this week:*Another Christmas has come & gone and this is the last time we will be just a couple. *Alexander continues to move and he's definitely started to develop patterns.
Worst moment this week:*Sleeping & the nosebleeds
Movement: He has patterns, but definitely moves quite often
Gender prediction: No guessing anymore - it's a BOY - Alexander Christopher
Labor Pains: No Labor pains, but I am experiencing Braxton Hicks Contractions randomly - Dan, you should post your Braxton Hicks joke.
Belly Button in or out? It's still an innie and I'm surprised it hasn't popped out yet, but it is getting smaller
Wedding rings on or off? On - still a bit loose
