About Me

Hello! My name is Rhonda and I am married to a wonderful man, Michael. I can say he is truly my best friend. We were married on April 12, 2008. He has a son (my step-son), Josh who is 15 years old. We are blessed with such wonderful family and friends. We created this blog so that we could post activities and pictures about us. We look forward to sharing these things with you. We had a sweet baby girl, Ella Kate, on June 19, 2012.

28 Weeks... 3rd TRIMESTER!!!




Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along:  28 weeks
     
What’s developing:   Ella Kate weighs about 2 1/4 pounds this week (like a Chinese cabbage) and is about 14.8 inches long from the top of her head to her heels.  She can now blink her eyes, which now have lashes. With her increasingly developed eyesight, she may be able to see the light that filters in through the womb.  She is continuing to develop billion of neurons in her brain and she is adding more body fat in preparation for life outside in the world.  

Size of baby:  Ella Kate weighs about the same as a Chinese cabbage.



Total Weight Gain/Loss:   Didn't weigh this week.

Clothes:   Maternity jeans/capris and maternity tops.   Still in my regular scrubs pants, but all wearing maternity tops.

Gender:  It's a GIRL!!!

Movement: She's an active little thing, she continues to move all the time! :-)

Sleep: Waking 2-3 times per night to use the bathroom.  

What I miss:  Jersey Mikes subs

Cravings:  Nothing in particular this week
            
Symptoms:  The heartburn continues but is relieved by Tums usually.

Best Moment this week:  We had a little vacation/babymoon this week to Disney.  We really enjoyed just relaxing, eating, and walking around.  When you are 28 weeks pregnant and a "heart patient", you really can't ride any thrill rides so we chose to ride the "kiddie" rides.  We were just scoping out the scene for when we take Ella back. :-)

  


























Coming up this week:  4-D Ultrasound on Wednesday, we are really excited and hope we get some good images of little Miss Ella.
