28 Weeks (EDDs between 2/11-2/17)

1) 28 Weeks! Officially Third Tri!
oof. definitely feeling like I'm in the third trimester. 

2) How are you feeling?
cranky. tired. sore. huge, even though the Dr keeps telling me I'm measuring a week or two behind did I mention cranky? cranky. and weepy.

3) Any appointments this week?
nope, but I passed my glucose test last week. hooray!

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
after travelling (driving) waaaaay too much over T-giving, I have to fly to a conference tomorrow for four days. I'm dreading it. I hate flying anyway, and my usual coping mechanism is to numb myself with a few drinks. Which obviously is not going to happen this time. DH and DD are staying home (usually he and I attend this conference together) and it will be the longest time I've left DD since she was born almost 3 years ago.

5) GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving dish (or holiday if you don't have Thanksgiving)?
stuffing! and green bean casserole!
...neither of which we had this year no mashed potatoes, either. we visited DH's family, and the menu was very different than I'm used to the turkey sat out half-cooked overnight (!) due to an electrical failure in the smoker, so I didn't even get any turkey or gravy (everyone else still ate it, I was just worried about bacteria...) still feeling pretty bummed about the whole meal, tbh.

My theory for how they cooked it was put cookie dough on a plate and warm it up, then use a creme brulee torch to cook the top, because the top was cooked like a cookie but the inside was warm and underdone. I really want a torch now just to make this.

Instead of the torch use the broil function on your oven and it should work the same

@katefb17 I keep measuring a week behind to, but dr. Isn't too concerned yet. Are they going to have you do an ultrasound at 30 weeks to recheck?

@chawk17 no ultrasound for me they wouldn't even do a dating u/s in the first trimester (I was 100% sure of my last period, so they didn't seem to think it was necessary). I don't know what I measured with DD, but I gained weight at about the same rate I currently am, and she was a totally average birth weight.
