Below are a couple of 28 week pics. I've been in the third (and most dragging (according to "them")) trimester for the last week. Less than 12 weeks (give or take some days), or if you are so inclined, I'm on day 197 of 280... again give or take some days...83 days left! Some fun facts as per my pregnancy calander... Baby C is approx 14 inches long and weighs 2 1/2- 2 3/4 lbs! It doesn't help that darling husband keeps teasing me that he is going weigh 20 lbs when he is born! DH's birth certificate mentions neither height nor weight, and he claims that it's because he weighed so much he broke the scale.... way to make an expanding pg lady feel good!!
Some more fun (maybe)...
How far along? 28 wks, 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: Up..17 lbs
Maternity clothes? Yep... for a long time, now!

Stretch marks? Not that I can see.. haha! I'm still debating if the spot on the upper part of my belly is just dry or a stretch mark.. It's in a weird spot!
Sleep? Not too bad... Still up to the bathroom 3-4x/night, but I'm able to get comfortable easily!
Best moment this week:Darling husband playing the name game with Baby C. He put his head on my belly and baby C only kicked with the name that DH likes... not the name that I want!!!

Movement: He's definitely a night owl!
Food cravings: Nope! Not since the first and second trimester... where I had to have grape slushes, limes and anything with salt in it!
Gender: I haven't seen him since our 16 week u/s! If the Doc says "It's a girl", then I may freak out a little!
Labor Signs:No (Thank you, God!). A few Braxton Hicks, but nothing that doesn't go away!
Belly Button in or out? Still an innie... but it's getting more shallow, so I don't know that it's gong to hold on for another 12 weeks!
What I miss: Playing softball!
What I am looking forward to: Washing the baby clothes and packing the hospital bag... I know it's way too early, so I'm holding off as long as I can!!!
Weekly Wisdom: I don't get out much, but my Mom did tell me to score a 100 on my lab tests... Unfortunately 100 isn't the best score to get on a diabetes test!!
Milestones: Baby C can open his eyes, and he has approx. 90% chance of survival without major problems if he were to enter this world today... but he can stay in the oven as long as he needs to!
