27-28 Weeks

How far along: 28 weeks

Baby: Baby boy at 27 weeks is about the size of a "bunch of bananas" and almost 15 inches.  28 weeks is about the size of a coconut.  We had our normal doc appt and check up along with our ultrasound with the specialist. He was measuring about 5 days big weighing 3 lbs and 16 inches! They did a full anatomy ultrasound again to check everything out and the specialist told us we had a perfectly healthy growing baby boy!! It's pretty confusing and hard to explain but short version his kidneys grew bigger at a young age and had what looked like a lot of fluid but now that he is bigger and I'm in the third trimester he is allowed up to 10mm ?? instead of 4 I believe of fluid. If it would have gone up more than what it was closer to the 10 then it would still be something to worry about, but it has stayed around the same amount it has always been so it looks good. 

Momma: Tired and uncomfortable. Lower back pain has officially kicked in and sleeping is very uncomfortable. 

 

Maternity clothes: Nothing new just the same couple shirts is all. 

Sleep: Takes a while to fall asleep and get comfortable but then I usually sleep pretty good. 

Best moment this week: Finding out we have a perfectly healthy baby boy! 

Miss anything: Wouldn't say miss anything really. 

Food cravings: Ice cream. Now I'll for sure start putting on the pounds haha. 

Anything make you queasy or sick: Not eating something small before going to bed, and too many sweets. 

Gender: BOY! 

Movement: Yes he moves like crazy and loves to make himself known.  

Labor signs: Braxton hicks every now and then but that's all. 

Symptoms: Nausea. Heartburn. 

Nursery: Slowly but surely. He has a crib and a mattress that's the most important right? 

Looking forward to: February! I'm getting anxious to meet our little man. 

Little man sure likes to wiggle and does not like being watched and getting pictures taken. He wouldn't let us get a picture of his cute face because he was sucking on his toes and fingers so much and had his face right up against me.  Little stink! 

 

XOXO,
