Pregnancy Highlights: GB stands for Gummy Bear
How Far Along: 28 weeks - the start of the 3rd trimester
Fruit / Veggie: Chinese cabbage
Size: 2 1/4 pounds and 14.8 inches from the top of head to heels
Baby Changes:
* GB is blinking eyes which now have eye lashes
* may be able to see the light that filters through the womb
* developing billions of neurons in brain
* adding more body fat in preparation for life outside the womb
Total Weight Gain / Loss: I gained 5 lbs in the last 4 weeks - for a total of 23 lbs
Best Moment this week: Celebrated my 27th year of life along with GB's start to the 3rd trimester.
Gender: We've chosen to be surprised!
Movement: every day - some kicks are so strong they make me jump
Food / Drink Cravings: I've noticed a change in my appetite over the past few days - it seems to be a little LESS! I have been on a chicken salad kick lately and salads finally sound and taste appetizing to me.
What I miss: nothing comes to mind...
Sleep: interrupted with trips to the bathroom and feeding time for me - I am sure this is great preparation for life with a newborn.
What I am looking forward to: Johnny & I are headed to Killeen for a baby shower.
Symptoms: I was a little anxious about my glucose screening exam this week (test for gestational diabetes), but it was actually not bad at all. I recommend the 'orange' flavored drink. :)
I got to meet with a new OB/GYN at our facility and she suggested I start taking Pepcid Complete before I go to bed each evening, rather than zofran. She said the Pepcid would be treating the cause of nausea/vomiting, rather than the zofran just treating the sympotoms of it.
I'm going to give it a try and see how it works.
