28 WEEKS | BABY 2



How far along: 28 Weeks!

Baby size:  14.8 in and 2.2 lbs. The size of a Large Eggplant.

Maternity clothes: Pajamas are maternity clothes right? I probably shouldn't have any visitors anytime after dinner, because if I am home, I am most likely in pajamas.

Sleep: I have had a few nights where I have slept peacefully through the night, then I also had a night I slept maybe 2-3 hours. Luckily that is more of the exception. I am thankful when I get a good sleep.

Gender: A beautiful baby girl.

Best moment this week: I ordered a little gift for Kennedy and the baby this week. I haven't really ordered any new things for this baby yet. One reason is because we really don't need anything. It was kind of fun to get something though. It made it feel not only more real, but also like this baby will be here soon. So far this year has flown by, and we only have a few months until it is baby time. It was fun to realize that we really are getting close.

Looking forward to: Easter and our 7 year anniversary. These next two weekends in April will be fun and probably make the rest of April fly by. 

What I miss: Sitting up in bed without having to make it a full body experience. I feel like I have to mentally prepare and the physically execute a perfect movement to go from lying down to sitting up these days. Also flopping back into bed, I miss that too. All this happens in the middle of the night when I need to go to the bathroom. So maybe I also miss not needing to go to the bathroom every single night. Oh well, it's all worth it.

Movement: Yes. Sometimes huge movements. Kennedy came over to me this week to feel the baby move and even she was surprised with some big movements. I love it.

Food cravings: I haven't really had cravings. Some foods sound delicious, but isn't that like all of life, sometimes some things just sound good. Right now I love love love eating asparagus though. Like I could probably have it every night with dinner. Although we don't have it every night, we do eat it frequently and it is the best.

Aversions: I haven't really had any aversions either. I am pretty much game for eating whatever. 

Nursery: This week I got a little package in the mail, a gift for baby and Kennedy when the baby gets here. It am so excited about it. But the order came with two free prints to hang up and they are pretty cute too. How long does it take to build a house? I am thinking we need a real nursery that I can decorate soon!

Overall: I'm feeling good. I am experiencing a lot of Braxton Hick contractions, which I don't really think I experienced at all with Kennedy (or maybe I just didn't realize what they were). Other than that I feel really good most of the time and am just excited about this summer and spending it with Daniel and our two girls! 

Miscellaneous: We are going to be gardeners again this year, which I am thrilled about. Right now we are sprouting some seeds in our house. Also my mom brought us some beautiful daffodils and those are in full bloom. I love plants so much and it has been fun to have some life in our house and watch it sprout, grow, and bloom.
