Bump Day Baby #2 - Week 28

- Baby is the size of an eggplant
- Good to know that the lungs of our baby are now mature enough that if born right now, it has a pretty good change of surviving (with help from medical technology).
- Weight gain...I don't believe my home scale because it fluctuates so much so I'll wait until doc appt next week.
- Still no stretch marks and I only use lotion on a daily basis
- Still feeling braxton hicks periodically
- Forgot to mention last week...but passed my glucose test. I did it the fasting way because I didn't want to drink that stuff. After reading this article I asked about other options. Apparently there is a 'fasting' option and my doctor was OK with me doing that. Appt was right at 7 am so the fasting happened while sleeping :)
- Still feeling lots of movement and I love it. Tate feels it a lot now also. Turner...well he doesn't sit still long enough to feel the baby move
- Picked out a few girl clothes just in case. It was weird having pink clothes in the house. We will see if they even get used.
- I plan to make my own faux fur rug for the nursery. Bought some material/fabric from Joann's with 60% off coupon so this rug is going to be dirt cheap...I'm talking less than $40 probably which is un-heard of for a faux fur 5x7 rug.
- My mom is coming this weekend and I am so excited. We have plans to paint Turner's new room and cross other things off our list.
- Still feeling great even though I am in my 3rd trimester. I feel very unprepared since we only have 12 weeks left...but I'm not putting too much pressure on myself as I know regardless...this baby will be safe and have a roof over his or her head.
You look so great! :) Can't wait to see your DIY rug!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're looking gorgeous, mama! :) Thank you so much for posting about the glucose test / alternatives - I was just thinking about that the other day due to my food sensitives / wanting to keep things all natural. Definitely filing that advice away for the future!
ReplyDeletethat rug project sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteYou look great! Can't wait to see the rug when you're done!
