How Many Weeks? 28 weeks
Size of Baby? Baby weighs 2 1/4 pounds - about the size of a large eggplant - and measures 14.8 inches from the top of head to heels.
Showing? Oh so very much so! I definitely feel larger this time around!
Symptoms? Ugh, hello sciatic nerve pain. Along with that, or tied to it, is my tailbone pain from sitting too long. Thank goodness for a stand-up desk at work!
Sleep? Still sleeping really well. Even with a nightly bathroom break I tend to fall back to sleep within seconds. I did flip my "boyfriend" pillow upside down so I can use my normal pillow again due to constant headaches/neck-aches. So re-learning to rolling over and get readjusted caused a few more wake-ups.
Miss Anything? Snuggling the kids on my lap without the pain when lean back too hard. Charlie's seemed extra lovey lately so I've been coming up with new ways to hold my baby boy.
Movement? Party in my belly! The kicks are getting big enough to really startle me and make me jump - even making the dog jump a few times.
Food Cravings? The mass quantities of holiday candy in the house is getting the best of me.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nothing of note recently. Even the car has seemed to gotten better over the last few weeks.
Gender Prediction? It's a baby!
Recent Doctors Appointment? We had a check-up last month and since we never really have any questions and everything is on par, our doctor brought in the ultrasound machine so the parents could get another look at their nugget :) It was being shy and blocking it's face for most of it but finally showed that adorable profile - and it's insane flexibility because it's feet were well over it's head!
Best IP moment? Them getting to see baby again! They are also been telling family, friends, coworkers, etc. that they are expecting - even put an announcement on their New Years card. I think it makes it all the more real for them that baby will be here soon :)
Most asked question? Any gender predictions? Are you still feeling good about giving up the baby? And lots and lots of questions about the process. I feel like people were holding back until now! By the way, still feeling a-ok about giving them their baby back :) I'm not giving up anything.
Nesting? Mike officially gave this past weekend the nesting label. It started with cleaning out every inch of Kendall's room after Christmas and then re-organizing Charlie's room (which wasn't too hard since I just cleaned out all the toys when we did the room revamp). That led to putting away all the Christmas stuff which somehow got me going on cleaning out every drawer, cabinet, bin, purse, wallet, toiletry bag, etc. in the entire house. It always feels so good after but my body doesn't love it after. Now that the house is all set for a while maybe I'll get around to creating a bunch of photo books I've been putting off...
