28 weeks

Baby C went to Busch Gardens!
No rides for us, but we got a good walk in!

How far along? 28 weeks

Size of baby: He is just over 14 inces long and 2.2 pounds, about the size of a napa cabbage.

What's baby up to? Get this, he can smell now! Baby will be able to smell almost everything I inhale or eat, since amniotic fluid actually conducts scent.

Total weight gain/loss: I think its so funny (insert sarcasm) "loss" is still in the tile here, yeah right. I wish. + 22 lbs.

Pregnancy symptoms: Getting bigger and bigger, my feet especially. I'm running out of shoes I can wear to work.

Maternity clothes? Just about all I wear now with the exception a few t-shirts and long maxi dresses. My yoga pants still kind of fit, but I think they're on their last week.

Stretch marks? No, but the veins in my legs aren't looking so good. I pray for no varicose veins! That's my motivation to keep my wight down and to exercise. Support hose might be one of the next items I purchase.

Sleep: Doing ok, still sleeping pretty good. I have been waking up at night from being hot.

Banana pudding from a b-day dinner.
Homemade wafers = delicious!

Best moment this past week: My birthday celebrations and sweet treats. The hospital tour went well too, kind of scary though... labor and delivery is getting real. I was surprised at how emotional I was during the nurse's lecture/overview and the tour during our visit. It really caught me off guard.

Miss Anything? Not really.

Movement: Nope

Food Cravings:  Nada

Anything making you queasy or sick: Red sauce & onions are still the devil.

Labor sigs: No

Belly Button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: Still hanging in there and are on.

Happy or Moody: Happy

Weekly Wisdom: Always know where the closest bathroom is!

Looking forward to: We are having a just for fun 3-D ultrasound this coming Saturday and I'm excited to see our little guy and get an idea of what he's going to look like. I keep having dreams they tell us he is really a she. ha!
