Week 28

Baby W this week…

-Baby's lungs are mature enough now that if born right now, he would have a pretty good chance of surviving.

-His skin is still pretty wrinkly, but will smooth out as fat continues to deposit.

Size of the baby?

Baby is the size of an eggplant! He's getting soooo big :)

Total Weight Gain/Loss?

Just had my 28 week appt and I am up 19lbs! Doctor is happy, I feel great...all is good with whatever number comes up :)

Maternity Clothes?

Most of my non maternity clothes are not fitting anymore. I have very limited wardrobe now when it comes to work clothes. I feel like I wear the same thing every 2 weeks. I try to switch it up here and there.

Stretch Marks?

28 weeks down with none and only 12 more to go!!!

Best Moments?

 I have officially felt the hiccups and I LOVE THEM! Had my 28 week doctor appt and I loved that I passed the glucose test, my iron is in the standard range and I heard his heartbeat again! I am also measuring right on point now.

Movement?

He loves to move alot and I don't mind it one bit! He is already head down the doctor says and I hope he stays that way.

Food Cravings?

Still mac & cheese and milk. I am really loving fruit that is full of juice. Grapefruit, pineapple, etc. So yummy!!!!

Anything making you queasy or sick?
Nothing really.

What I miss?
Being able to bend over...that is almost impossible now.

Nausea/Vomiting?

None

Symptoms?

 Still getting bloody noses. My sense of smell has really picked up. I frequent that bathroom a lot more now as I feel he is laying on my bladder all day!

Labor Signs?

Getting closer to this actually happening, which is scary to me! Let's hope I don't feel any signs for another 10+ weeks.

Gender?

BOY

Belly Button In or Out?
It's out!!!

Wedding Rings On or Off?

So on...and not even getting close to being tight.

Sleep?
 Still getting a nice solid 7 hours of sleep without having to wake up to pee! I feel very lucky!!!

What I am looking forward to?

So much is happening in the next 4 weeks. In-laws visiting, baby showers, tax season ending, baby classes, etc. It will be a very busy next 4 weeks and I am so excited :)
