28 Weeks

PICTURE TO BE ADDED LATER

 

How Far Along: 28 weeks. Their eyebrows and eye lashes are visible now.  The amount of brain tissue is increasing at the time as well.  From this week, our babies will try to put on more fat. They have also started to store iron, calcium and other essential nutrients.

Total Weight Gain: 165 lbs (so about 33 lbs gained...yikes!).

Maternity Clothes: All maternity clothes now - Belly is getting too big!

Sleep: I rotate alot in my sleep to get comfortable, but it's been sore to do so, so I'm never really getting a "good" sleep. And I'm still waking up at 2am to take my medicine.

Best Moment This Week:  I had two doctor visits this week -- one on Monday and one on Thursday.  On Monday, my cervical length went back to 22 from 19.  On Thursday, it remained at 22.  I saw the nurse practitioner, Missy, both times this week.  She told me to keep working from home and then laying down as much as possible when I'm not working.

 

 

Movement: The boys are actively kicking and rolling around.

 

Looking Forward To:  My next appointment is Friday -- let's hope things improve!
