28 weeks

I'm always at least a day late in posting these, but hey at least I actually posted one this week!  Another week down, 12 to go!  Or, if this baby comes early like Riley did, then maybe only less than 10 weeks to go!!  I did get around to taking a picture this week, finally, so here you go.  And I was looking at this pic compared to about a month ago, and I feel like I have just gotten all around bigger.. eek.  As in, my belly maybe got a little bigger, but so did everything else.  Ohhhh well.
28weeks
How I'm feeling: Still feeling pretty good.  We had a crazy busy week of getting lots of boxes packed and ready to ship out to New Zealand, which meant a lot of work for me, and probably more lifting than I should have done, so I'm thankful it's all done and I can get some rest!  It was definitely a tiring week. Other than that, no new symptoms- still no swelling or heartburn or cramps or any of that.  And the carpal tunnel has not yet made an appearance which I am SO thankful for!

Weight gain this week: no idea
Total weight gain:  Not sure, I'll weigh myself next week.

Best part of the week: Ultrasound!  Because I'm technically high risk, I had a growth scan on Wednesday, so we got to see our precious little baby boy again.  He's measuring perfectly (pretty much exactly 50th percentile, although he definitely has the Bartlett head, which appears to be more in the 80th percentile.) 
Worst part of the week: glucose test.  Ugh.  One of the downsides of being at an OB's office at Stanford hospital is they are on the cutting edge of research, which means here they no longer do the 1 hour glucose test followed up by the 3 hour if you fail... they only do a 2 hour fasting test.  This is different than last time, and more annoying!  I had to stop eating by 8pm, get to the office at 8am, drink the nasty glucola drink on an empty stomach, and then get blood drawn an hour and two hours later, not being allowed to eat or drink, or leave the waiting room!  It was not fun!

Cravings: Apple pie.  Salads.
Aversions: none really.

What baby is up to:  According to the ultrasound, a few days ago he weighed 2 pounds, 7 ounces.  These things can be really inaccurate, but we'll go with that for now. :)  He's moving around a ton, and he's head down now so that's good news (he was breech at the last ultrasound), but of course there is still plenty of time for things to change again, so let's just hope he stays head down.  His eyes are partially open now and he can blink.  He's about 15 inches long.  It's crazy to think in the next 10-12 weeks he will grow 4-5 more inches and add 5-6 more pounds!!  Grow baby grow (but not too much, I'm not exactly thrilled at the idea of birthing a 10 pound baby, thank you very much).

And just for fun... here's me now, and me at 29 weeks with Riley... not really sure what to think about these!

Oh my gosh, I can't believe you're already 28 weeks and already leaving the states!

Love your update pictures with the milestones and YAY for passing the GD test!
