28 Weeks - Beginning of 3rd Trimester


We had a great Doctor's appointment this week!  Dr. Walsh said that Brooke sounds great and that she is measuring exactly 28 weeks!  She is a growing girl!  Also, good news, my iron is almost up to where it should be!  I have to eat more red meat and the Dr. told me that Adam needs to take me to a steak dinner.  No arguing with Dr's orders!  :-)

Adam (aka Daddy!) and Uncle Charles have been busy this week working on Brooke's room.  The room is all painted and the chair rail up.  Will post pictures soon.

Mood: Good - have been very busy at work and with embroidery orders!  Our little business has picked up recently!  :-)

Energy: Feeling great! Trying to make sure I am resting enough and keeping my feet up.  Brooke comes first!
Cravings: Sweets. I could literally eat them all day, BUT, I don't!  Had some popcorn last night from Target.  The salty tasted really good too.  LOL, but of course it does.  Who DOESN'T want sweet and salty all the time?!!??

Nausea: None

Total Weight Gain: 18 pounds

BEW this week (per BabyCenter):
By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
