Baby size: 28 Weeks: An eggplant! to 30 Weeks: A large cabbage!
How I feel about being pregnant: Excited about finally being big enough for people to tell I'm preggo! I love when people ask about baby. :)) Though sometimes I get confused when someone randomly says "what's your due date" or something similar.
What I miss about pre-pregnancy life: Sleeping on my tummy! Ohmygoodness! I would sleep so much better if I wasn't confined to my sides. Kaden is SO not about his space being invaded, though. AT ALL.
Symptoms: The heartburn gets a little gnarly when he kicks me in the stomach, but generally I've been feeling fine. :) He has also gotten super sensitive to noise. Any time he hears loud noises he freaks out. He also tries to kick ANYTHING that touches my belly. He's SO dramatic about his space. lol If I so much as rest my arm on my belly he tries as hard as he can to kick it off. It's adorable. <3
Food Cravings: Cheese pringles. Still. I stopped buying them, but it's not helping! I want them all the time. haha
What I'm most excited about: That baby is doing so well. <3
Something I've done to prepare for baby: 28 week appointment with my midwife on the 11th! She said he looks great and is measuring perfectly. She even said his spine is beautiful. :) My weight gain is on track, and I'm up 17 lbs so far. His heartbeat was super strong and kind of sounded like a horse galloping. He kept his hands around his head the whole ultrasound, as usual. I had to do my glucose test this time. It was gross, but not as bad as I was anticipating. I then found out I failed it and had to schedule a 3 hour glucose screen for Monday, which I super hope I pass. Baby is going to be SO angry about the fasting I have to do. It's going to be a looooong, torturous holiday season if I fail. :( My appointment Wednesday went well, too. Everything is measuring on track and all is well. :)
Special moment: My daddy finally came home from China! By which I mean Pennsylvania. When he left I was 13 weeks and MUCH smaller. It's been nice to have him home, for sure. :)
Funny moment: Ummmm so when I got to my appointment Wednesday, there was a woman in the middle of pushing. The sound was a little terrifying. I got so distracted that when I went to pee in a cup I kind of forgot the cup... haha. I think baby might be melting my brain a little.
How baby's growing (from BabyCenter): Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now and weighs almost 3 pounds (about the size of a large cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will shrink as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)
