28 Weeks and Doctor Update!!!

Wow.  28 weeks already! That seems so hard to believe.  I had a doctors appointment this week.  It was just a regular check up.  Everything went great.  My blood pressure was good and weight was right on target.  She listened to Olivia's heartbeat and measured my belly and said that I was measuring 27 weeks or so.  I go back on August 8 and I get my 3rd trimester ultrasound on that day as well!! I cannot wait to see her sweet little face again!!  It was a great check up and the doctor said that everything looks good and we also now have an idea when Olivia is to arrive!!! :) We are so excited!!

She continues to grow each week and her kicks and jabs are turning more into rolls.  I love feeling her move and I love the fact that I can actually feel something poking me such as her elbow! She is definitely an active little thing! One of my favorite things to do is watch my belly move.  I can be laying on the couch watching TV and all of a sudden my whole belly will jump or move.  She also love to kick me so much that it gets my belly moving!  Nick and I were watching a movie the other night and I was laying on him and he put his hand on my belly and she was kicking him like crazy! I love it!

This week she is prepping for breathing and she is also starting to develop more fat! Her immune system is also preparing for the outside world! She can blink her eyes which now has lashes and with her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through the womb!

Here are my 28 week pregnancy highlights!

Pregnancy Highlights!

How far along?  28 weeks 6 days

Size of Baby?  This week she is the size of an eggplant and is about 2 1/4 pounds and almost 15 inches from head to heel. 

Weight Gain/Loss?   I started at 115 and I am now at 140.  So I have gained a total of 25 pounds which is almost exactly what I weighed around this time with Brayden. 

Maternity Clothes?  Yes

Best Moment this week?   Brayden will come and kiss and rub on my belly.  I know he is still really little but we talk to him about her so much that he acknowledges where sissy is and where her room is and he will even pick up something of hers and say "It's sissy's."

Gender? IT'S A GIRL! Olivia Kate!

Movement?  ALL THE TIME!! This little girl is so active.  I am beginning to think that she is more active than her brother was.  And boy does she hurt at times. :) I love watching my whole belly move and I also love that I can tell what body part she is poking me with at times. 

Food Craving?  I am not really having a lot of cravings right now.  There are times that everything sounds good and then there are times that nothing sounds good!

What I miss? Nothing at this point

Sleep?  I am sleeping pretty good once I get to sleep.  I am finding that I am having a hard time falling asleep and then if I get woke up or have to get up to use the restroom it is hard for me to get back to sleep.

Symptoms? I am still having back in my hips, leg and back and I do not think that is going anywhere until after I have her. 

Here are my 28 week photos!

Have a great weekend!!!
