week 28

How far along? 28 weeks – only 12 to go! 
Total weight gain: a horrifying 30 lbs :( 
Sleep: great!!
Best moment this week: feeling so many kicks & stretches; just can’t get enough of it!!! 
Movement: lots, especially in the evening & morning… and when there’s music :) 
Food cravings: fresh fruit & veggies, salads
Gender: boy… at least that’s what they say…
What I miss: being more mobile; with a serious baby bump and a ton of hip pain, it’s getting difficult to maneuver… 
What I am looking forward to: decorating the nursery, holding my baby :)

From Baby-Gaga for week 28:

You know how you’ve been feeling a bit like a barn with legs? Well, that feeling won’t subside before… well, you know, when you finally give birth. For the time being, you’ve got yourself a baby in the business of collecting fat and lots of it! In spite of the dubious joys of being a human-barn, this baby fat business is very serious and you’ve got to put up with it because it’s going to keep your little porker warm and healthy after birth. Other good stuff from inside: their eyes are doing lots of blinking this week because they’re now able to respond to light and dark. Also, their industrious little bone marrow is now a major construction site for developing red blood cells, while their super-cute adrenal glands are actually producing androgen and estrogen—which will stimulate your hormones to begin milk production. Can you say, “Moo?”
