Allen's Outfit...

So I was going through some of Allen's clothes and I think I finally have his "Coming home Outfit" picked out...

But who knows, I might change my mind in a few weeks when I go "Black Friday Shopping!"

I can't wait for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.. I think I might actually gain some weight this pregnancy after those holidays... Eeek!

28 weeks... Hello, 3rd Trimester!!!

By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds and measures 14.8 inches from the top of his head to his heels. He can blink his eyes, which now sport lashes. With his eyesight developing, he may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. He's also developing billions of neurons in his brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

How far along: 28 weeks!!! Hello 3rd and final Trimester!!!

Total weight gain/loss: 0lbs gained

Size of the baby: A Chinese Cabbage. 2 1/2lbs and almost 15 inches long! *But Mr. Allen is measuring almost 3 weeks ahead...*

Sleep: Very little. Im up 2-3x a night to use the bathroom and he is most active at night when I am laying down.

Movement: He is very active at night when I am laying down or right after I eat or drink something cold.

Food cravings: For some reason I am craving Supreme Pizzas and I normally hate onions and peppers.

Symptoms: My lower hips and back are really bothering me and my feet are swelling.

Labor signs: I have been getting a ton of BH lately. They almost have me doubled over in pain. No fun :(

27 weeks....

This week, He's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing his eyes, and perhaps even sucking his fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if he were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother him, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.

How far along: 27 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 0lbs gain/30lbs loss

Size of the baby: A head of Cauliflower. 2.3lbs & 14.6inches

Sex: BOY

Maternity clothes: oh yes

Sleep: not much

Movement: lots and lots

Food cravings: nothing too extreme

Food aversions: nah...

Morning sickness: nope

Symptoms: achey back & hips and my feet are killing me.

Labor signs: no
