28 weeks



How Far Along: 28 weeks 3 days
Size of baby: Chinese cabbage ~ 14.8 inches, 2 1/4 pounds
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +13.5 lbs
Maternity Clothes: Yes, mostly. I'm lucky to still wear a few things that were pre-pregnancy but I'm sure as he continues to expand outwards that will change
Movement: I love feeling him move. Mostly his active times are after breakfast, after dinner, and when I'm going to bed. Most kicks make me laugh. It's cute when he curls up and sticks his butt (or who really knows what body part) out...it's noticeable.
Sleep: This is really hit or miss. Sometimes it's horrible, sometimes it's great. Still having crazy real feeling dreams.
Symptoms: I think he must have moved because I can actually breathe and eat again :) My hips started aching badly the other night and then last night started with the lower back. Yep - apparently I'm getting to "that point" in pregnancy. Also, I've been walking into and dropping everything. As if I weren't clumsy enough to begin with.
What I miss: being able to see my feet
Cravings: nothing specific...more sweet things than anything else at this point. Applesauce seems to be a favorite for him.
Best Moment this week: painted his room and getting a few other things done to it. We're slowly getting closer and closer.

And because I know Mom and Phyllis have been waiting for this growth progression picture, here it is:
