28 WEEKS

WHOOPIE!!

Here is my 28 week picture.  and here is what to expect this week...

By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world. (coursteousy of babycenter.com)

28 weeks means that I am finally in my third trimester!

We are so excited to be in the final home stretch. She still moves alot and there are not so many flutters anymore, just harder kicks and pushes, and punches. At my last doctors appointment I was concerned about my weight seeing as I gained a bit pretty fast. she just doesn't want me to gain more than 40 lbs total.....well that give me 15 more to go. Also we did a test to see if I have Gestational Diabetes. What happens is you drink this entire bottle of orange soda stuff and wait one hour before they prick your finger and test your blood. Well I passed the test and do not have diabetes.
Dr. Savage asked me if the baby is moving. Boy does she ever, she is very active... So Dr. Savage moves on to listen to her heart beat and as soon as she put the machine on my belly our baby girl kicked back and we could hear the little pop sound of when she hit it. but she didnt' just do it once she did it twice!!! What a stinker.

I'm so excited for the holidays to pass and have her here.  So far we have bought some clothes, baby bath, Stroller with carseat and bases, a Canopy cover for the car seat, a cover for breastfeeding, diapers, and a Sling to carry baby in. Next on my list is a crib!!! 

 This is it without the cover. it is brown and blue with pokadots. we bought this when we did not know the gender of the baby.

 This is Mitch being stubborn and having to be in the picture

  "Wait wait another one....... this is me thinking of the baby"

This is the canopy cover.
