Week 28: Pregnancy

Baby boy is the size of a..............small CABBAGE!

{about 13.6 -14.8 inches, 1.5-2.2 lb}

What's going on in there?

He's starting to fatten up,

and they say that if born this week - although premature and dangerous/not ideal - there's a good chance for survival.

My Stats:

weight: 138 lbs

waist: 36.5 in

I've definitely decided that I am entering another growth phase.

I can feel myself grow which is weird.

He's still kicking and moving lots which is good news.

So remember how at my doctor appointment last week,

my doc said I didn't need to take the glucose test?

Yeah.

About that.

My family came for a weekend visit last Friday{more to come on that},

and while they were here my mom told me some stories that got me all scared and worried and paranoid about not taking it.

Sooooo....

yesterday I went and picked up that dang glucose drink.

I was surprised at how big it was!

In my mind I was envisioning a quick swallow from like a dixie cup or something - even sacrament sized.

Haha.....jokes on me.

But I drank that thing down today and marched across the street {yes, very conveniently located},

and they pricked my finger.

I passed with flying colors.

Whew.

So glad to know that my body is definitely doing what it should be!

Usually I love taking preggo pics,

but not today.

I think that I will enjoy it less and less as I get bigger and bigger this last tri.

I'm trying to keep up with the running too,
or an insanity DVD,
but I'm lucky if I get two workouts in a week.
How lazy.I'm just tired!
HAHA.
Actually,
it feels good not to have to worry about fitting in an "excercize time" to my day.
For as long as I can remember I have done it religiously,
and it's nice to have this little "break".
Walks are becoming more common,
and Tank and I went on one today:

BUT "break" does not mean forever,
and I am excited/plan on kicking it into high gear when this little munchkin comes!
