28 Weeks (T- 12 Weeks and Counting!)

28 Week Picture

Pregnancy Highlights!!!

How Far Along: 28 Weeks

Size of baby: 15 Inches head to heel, 2 1/4 pounds

Weight gain: +20 at least - I stopped looking at the scale when they weigh me (That'll show 'em!)

Maternity Clothes: I'm beginning to wonder why I thought I needed an entire closet full of clothes before I got pregnant, since I've been surviving off of 2 pairs of jeans and about 6 shirts. I dig the comfy.

Gender: Es una chica!

Movement: So crazy - Now when she moves, you can see it from the outside! Freaks me out a little. Our favorite game is to put the remote on top of my stomach and watch it bounce around when she kicks it.  

Sleep: I tell you what - I'm sleeping like a rock. No idea how that's happening, but I'm going to enjoy every night of it until she comes.

Symptoms:  Finally starting to feel like a pregnant lady. My hip joints have been giving me a hard time. Doc said I had to stop working out before I agitated them so much I can't walk anymore. So no more working out for me! 

What I miss: Being able to walk into a room and not have all the women gaze at you with this "knowing" look. Yeah yeah, I know, I'm about the join the club. For now, I just want to order my cheeseburger, thanks. 

Cravings: Peanut butter.

Best Moment this week: Getting to know baby's sleep patterns and when she's most active. Since I can really feel and see everything now, it's much more obvious when she's playing around and when she's dozing.

What I am looking forward to: Seeing my mom and dad at the end of March. I miss my family!
