28 weeks!

PREGNANCY HIGHLIGHTS:

WEEKS: 28 weeks

BABY'S SIZE: 14.5 inches, 2.25 lbs, the baby is the size of a head of cauliflower!

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN: 15 lbs now...

SLEEP: We have been in bed at the latest this week by 9:00 so sleep is coming easily except that my flu shot made it impossible to sleep on my left side for a few nights!  Why does that tiny shot make your arm so sore?!!!

MOVEMENT: She is a busy body and the movements are so fierce that they stop me in my tracks occasionally!

SYMPTOMS: Eczema=back with a vengence! and the Doc says I have a common pregnany rash/redness on my face so he prescribed some cream to help relieve me of that!  This girl is causing havoc with my skin! 

WHAT I MISS: Having Riley sit on my lap comfortably.  Now I am constantly re-arranging him to get both of my children comfortable and hopefully myself which is getting harder and harder. 

CRAVINGS: Salt, salty chips, salt bagels you would have thought the salt cravings came before the water cravings but not in this case!
MATERNITY CLOTHES: I really need to do some shopping but haven't yet.

WHAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO: Christmas!  Is it too early to say that?!  I am so excited about the gifts we are getting for Riley and it is going to be nearly impossible not to give them to him early!  I also can't wait to get the tree up and decorate and get our boy in his snowpants for some sledding. 

And because it just wouldn't be the same without the boy in the picture!  ; )

This is the boy who was tickling the baby yesterday and saying "hi baby" "hi mommy's baby" over and over again-pretty sure he loves her already also!
