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.
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.
