How far along: 29 weeks!
Size of baby: Baby's now the size of a squash! Baby's energy is surging, thanks to white fat depositing beneath his skin. And since he's growing so fast (weight will triple by birth), things are getting kind of cramped in the womb. What all this means for you: Get ready for some more kicks and jabs to the ribs.
Maternity clothes: Definitely Are a must at this point.
Sleep: Leg cramps have subsided...but it could be better.
Best moment of the week: Feeling her so active throughout my day!
Movement: She's a squirmer! I can feel her when I'm sitting or laying down.
Symptoms: Started with some heavy fatigue....
Food cravings/aversions: Anything Sweet.....
Gender: It's a Girl!!
Belly button in or out: My belly button is almost non existent now!
Stretch marks: Oh, I've had those before baby!
What I miss: Sleeping normally.
What I am looking forward to: My hubby's birthday, our Corbin baby shower and the UM football game!
Weekly wisdom: Oh to have my old body back....I'm ready!
How is Mommy Feeling? Feeling the pressure of the clock ticking down!!
How is Daddy Feeling? Excited for our next shower and looking forward to putting more baby items together.
Total weight gain? I haven't weighed myself....
The Belly? It's more than a little bump now!!

28 weeks,,,,Third Trimester begins!
How far along: 28 weeks!
Size of baby: 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.
Maternity clothes: Definitely Are a must at this point.
Sleep: Not the greatest with leg cramps and getting up to pee at 1, 3:30 and 5:30....it could be better.
Best moment of the week: Celebrating at the Winters shower :)
Movement: She's a squirmer! I can feel her when I'm sitting or laying down.
Symptoms: None really...just really bad muscles cramps and I can feel the poor circulation starting....
Food cravings/aversions: Anything Sweet.....
Gender: It's a Girl!!
Belly button in or out: A bit shallower!
Stretch marks: Oh, I've had those before baby!
What I miss: Sleeping normally.
What I am looking forward to: A night out with our friends tonight :)
Weekly wisdom: Prenatal massage is enough!
How is Mommy Feeling? Still stressed...I need to relax....
How is Daddy Feeling? Excited about taking pictures of the baby with his new DSLR camera!
Total weight gain? 15 pounds so far my scale....
The Belly? The small bump has expanded! :)

27 weeks...
How far along: 27 weeks!
Size of baby: This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she 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 her, so just relax and enjoy
Maternity clothes: Definitely Are a must at this point.
Sleep: Sleep has been MUCH better :) Only getting up at 1 and 3:30 to pee!
Best moment of the week: Feeling my little one get the hiccups!
Movement: She's on the move in the AM and when I lay down to go to bed. :)
Symptoms: Starving...all the time!
Food cravings/aversions: Anything Sweet.....
Gender: It's a Girl!!
Belly button in or out: Still Shallow...but I can see it on the outs!
Stretch marks: Oh, I've had those before baby!
What I miss: Not having to pee every 2 hours at night....
What I am looking forward to: Our baby shower from the Winters family
Weekly wisdom: Keep on moving!
How is Mommy Feeling? A bit stressed with everything I've got going on....
How is Daddy Feeling? Excited to see friends and family at the shower.
Total weight gain? 15 pounds so far my scale....

26 weeks
How far along: 26 weeks!
Size of baby: The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel.
Maternity clothes: Definitely Are a must at this point. Just bought some new work pants.
Sleep: I've been exhausted this week, but trying to build my stamina
Best moment of the week: Seeing my students!! :)
Movement: She's on the move in the AM and when I lay down to go to bed. :)
Symptoms: A very sensitive stomach! UGH!
Food cravings/aversions: Anything Sweet.....
Gender: It's a Girl!!
Belly button in or out: Starting to become a bit more shallow...
Stretch marks: Oh, I've had those before baby!
What I miss: Not having to pee every 2 hours at night....
What I am looking forward to: Making it to the third trimester!
Weekly wisdom: Some things need to just slide...
How is Mommy Feeling? Overextended with going back to work full time...
How is Daddy Feeling? Looking forward to the third trimester!
Total weight gain? 15 pounds so far my scale....
