Watch out 3rd trimester!! We have arrived!
How Far Along: 28 weeks on 2/1/13
Size of baby: Weighing two and a quarter pounds (the size of a Chinese cabbage) and measuring about 14.8 inches from the top of his head to the his heels.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 11 lbs at my appointment on 1/5. That's 5 lbs in 4 weeks. I blame it on the daily pina coladas in Mexico. (They were ahhh-mazing and so worth it.)
Maternity Clothes: Yes, for church otherwise living in comfy-I-am-a-stay-at-home-mom clothes! I love it when tanks are long enough to cover the bump and I can just throw on a cardigan.
Gender: Boy. His nickname is "Rory", which is funny b/c we both actually like that name. Our search for his real name continues....one day I'll feel confident about one of the ones on the list and then I change my mind. It keeps me up at night. Not kidding.
Movement: Tom and I were both dying last night as he must have been doing gymnastics. Tom said he doesn't remember Gwendolyn moving like this, but I'm pretty sure she did. We can now poke him and he'll poke us back. He was playing games with daddy. It's amazing to literally feel his body parts. If only we had a magical looking glass to see what was where!
Sleep: Still fabulous. I am soaking up this sleeping through the night and waking up feeling rested business while I can.
What I miss: These braxton hicks contractions are kind of kicking me in the bum lately. Midwife says I need to slow down and take it easy. Ha. (Just for my mom and my husband I am trying to cooperate.) Speaking of which, having one right now................................
Cravings: Still keeping it pretty plain and simple. I love coffee, cereal, toast, yogurt and fruit. Not exactly balanced.
Symptoms: The normal.
Best moment this past week: Passing my glucose test with flying colors and hearing his heartbeat - 140!
