28 Weeks

Size of Baby: Chinese cabbage (about 2 1/4 lbs., almost 15 inches head to heel).

Cravings: Nothing new in this department...

What is different this time around: I believe that my weight gain has been significantly less so far this time around, which is great. With both Hope and Haven I gained 40 lbs. So far I've gained about 19 lbs. this time. We'll see how this third trimester weighs in :) Also, recently I've been really bugged by how sensitive my stomach is to touch. Both girls have no idea how bothersome it is to elbowed and kneed in the stomach right now. Add to that the constant kicking and pushing from inside and it is almost unbearable!

Symptoms: Heartburn (occasionally) and other unpleasant symptoms. Let's just say that prunes, applesauce and dragonfruit are my friends... and lots and lots of water.

Appointments: Just had our 28 week appointment yesterday. Fundal height is 27 centimeters, so I'm measuring a week behind, which is fine. Everything looked good. Baby heartbeat is strong, in the 130-140 range. Next appointment is August 2, the day after Haven's 2nd birthday. After that, we'll be seeing the doc every two weeks until D-Day. It's always amazing to me how quickly the time flies right on by...

  1. Yay! Glad to know it's going well. Have they been able to tell if it's a boy or girl?
