28 Weeks

Sorry it's been so long since an update, life has been good but crazy!

Pregnancy Highlights for the Week:

How Far Along: 28 weeks, this is the first week of the 3rd trimester, crazy! On Wednesday I went to the doctor and measured 29 1/2 weeks. Surprise, there is a big baby to match the big belly! Oh and good news I passed the glucose test and don't have gestational diabetes.

Fruit/Veggie: The weight of a Chinese cabbage

Size: 14.8 inches, almost 2.25 lbs

Baby changes: By this week, he/she weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of his head to his heels. Tatonka can blink eyes, which now have eyelashes. With his/her eyesight developing, he may be able to see the light that filters in through the womb. Tatonka's also developing billions of neurons in his brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

Best Moment this week: We had some friends family staying at our house for a few nights... and well we really enjoyed being able to share our house.... and hear the pitter patter of little feet, and hear a few cries!
Also we went to Katy for a neighborhood garage sale, in just a few hours, we got a chicco car seat and matching stroller, a bassonet, Tummy time plane all for 90 dollars. This was huge blessing... these things were barely used and what I had already picked out on our registry, color scheme and everything. I feel like God allowed us to get what we wanted and be good stewards of our money at the same time.

Gender: God knows!

Movement: The baby is moving alot. I keep getting kicked in the rib... the doctor said head is down and feet are up and to the right. Hopefully baby stays head down!

Food Craving: Just food.... oh my goodness can I eat.

Sleep: Sleep is uncomfortable..... but needed often.

What I am looking forward to: December :) We can't wait to meet this little one!

Symptoms: I just feel huge and clumsy..... did I say huge.... which is uncomfortable. But I feel the best I have felt all pregnancy, energy and attitude wise.
