28 Weeks- THIRD TRIMESTER!!

28 Weeks


I had to take the 3 hour glucose test this week. It sucked but I actually passed. So that was awesome. I am so relieved that I don't have to worry about having gestational diabetes or any complications from that. Also, this week is an important one, because this week I am officially in the 3rd trimester. That is craziness!! At this point only 12 weeks left until my due date!! Baby has a 95% chance of survival if she were born at this point. It's a good week. At some point here we probably should get going on our nursery too, but we'll get there.

How far along? 28 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Nothing, though I'm fully expecting that to change since next week is thanksgiving and that's when I gained the most during my pregnancy with Elli.
Maternity clothes? Some. I need to get some work pants. I can still wear mine, they just don't fit very comfortably when I sit down
Stretch marks? Not really
Sleep: I've actually been sleeping pretty good this week thankfully. I haven't felt the best because of that dumb glucose test but I've still been able to sleep okay.
Best moment this week:Passing the glucose test so I don't have to stress about having diabetes or any complications with that.
Miss anything? Not having numb spots on my hands and left leg
Movement: Some, she's not a super strong kicker or anything but there is enough movement to be happy.
Food cravings: Nothing in particular, thanksgiving next week.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No, overall I feel pretty good.
Have you started to show yet: Only just a little
Gender: GIRL!
Labor signs:I had a ton of braxton hicks type things this week, I don't really know if they were braxton hicks, mostly I just think that my glucose test screwed up my body a little and gave me a pretty upset stomach for 3-4 days afterwards.
Bell button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? Off. I can still get it on fine, but it's really tight when I do
Happy or moody most of the time: Both, I'm stressed and busy and tired and that makes me more moody but overall I think I've been better.
Looking forward to: Thanksgiving is next week!!!! I'm going to eat so many mashed potatoes and gravy!


28 Weeks:
Your Baby is as Big as a Eggplant
  • She's starting to develop more fat, so her wrinkly skin will start to get smoother.
  • Her lungs are mature enough that she'd probably survive if she was born now. Wow!
Putting on layers of fat, your baby now weighs in around 1.5 to 2.5 pounds and measures about 13.6 to 14.8 inches.
