28 Weeks

I can’t believe I only have 12 weeks to go. It seems as though the second trimester totally flew by! I am also suddenly realizing that these last few months are going to be nothing but hectic! We are scheduled to close on our house next Friday, so we will be working hard to get that place move in ready.  On top of that we have childbirth class and have to get this house ready for renters! Shortly to follow I will be back at work for the school year…then baby!

How Far Along: 28 weeks on July 4^th

Size of Baby: She’s the size of a small cabbage and weighs about 2 ½ pounds.  

Baby Updates:  She can now distinguish the difference between Shane’s voice and mine; additionally, her movements are becoming more noticeable and intense as her space becomes more limited.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I am thrilled there has been no new gain this week! So we are still at 22! (The doctor kindly recommended some healthier options to my ice cream)

Maternity Clothes: All maternity pants and most shirts…and my bra extender

Gender: GIRL! Scarlett Camille

Movement: Mostly, morning, night, or when I am sitting down.

Sleep: I'm sleeping well through the night, again it’s the whole falling asleep part that is the problem.

What I miss: Sleeping without a pillow between my knees…because I don’t need one.

Cravings: Ice Cream and Mexican food.

Symptoms: Achy Breaky Back

Best Moment this week: Passing my glucose test! Seeing the house transform for our baby shower on Sunday, July 15^th has been amazing as well…I think we are ready!
