28 Weeks

Baby Update: 28 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights from this week:

How far along? 28 weeks

Size of the baby? As big as a small cabbage, 17 inches, 2.9 pounds

Maternity Clothes? Yes! And they are so comfy! 

Gender? Sweet baby GIRL!!!!!!!

Movement? Oh yes. Lots of movement! She is very active and I love it! 

Sleep? This week has been pretty good. I wake up a couple of times every night but can't complain.

Cravings? Still not able to eat very much at each meal so been eating lots of smaller things. I have been loving fruit the past couple of weeks. This week it is fresh cherries and watermelon. Also this week, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and cucumber slices with homemade hummus! 

Symptoms?  This week I felt pretty good. My lower back is starting to hurt more and my feet get tired when I stand for a long time. I am also getting out of breath quicker because she is pushing everything up.  

What I miss?  Maybe having a bigger selection of clothing. I have a very limited wardrobe right now.  

Milestones? Making it to 28 weeks! This was the first big milestone that our doctor gave us after our little scare. We were excited to make it this far! 

What I am nervous about? I am starting to think more about labor and delivery and a little nervous about that because I don't really know what to expect. Also, the fact that I cannot have an epidural is a bit scary. I have a friend here who is an anesthesiologist and she has assured me (along with our doctor) that there are other things that will help with the pain :-) 

What I'm excited about? We booked the photographer to take her newborn photos!! I am so in love with her work and can't wait for her to capture some precious photos of our girl!

Here I am at 28 weeks (and 2 days). This was today after a really long day at work and I am still in my scrubs. Still getting bigger!! I can't imagine how I will look at 40 weeks! Ahh!!
