Week 28: By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

My little eggplant has grown into a Chinese cabbage, soon a nice plump squash! This little one sure is active, rolling about quite often now and responding to touch/pressure. This morning I was talking to my mother-in-law on the phone, who just left on Thursday from Christmas, and the baby starting kicking. Might have been a fluke, but I think she knew who was on the phone :D She even felt major movements on Christmas day.. very special!
And yes. I still think this is a girl!
I got positive results for Group B Strep, as I did with Ben, so no shock there. I haven't gone for my three hour Glucose test yet, but will go soon. Ben has been sick with a cold, and therefore none of us have been sleeping the greatest. Plus with the holidays just wrapping up, there were perhaps a few too many treats ;) Time to get back on track! Or at least after New Year's!! I also have to get my Rhogam shot in the butt.
It feels crazy that I am now in my third and final trimester. Soon my dr appointments will be bi-weekly, and then weekly. I am feeling pretty good, getting that "big" feeling, but at the same time loving the belly. It doesn't last forever.. gotta enjoy it while it lasts! Other than getting up with Ben periodically, I have been sleeping pretty good, not getting up to go pee much. That will change soon though! My wonderful hubby gave me a heavenly foot rub last night, too, which was divine. Wish I could have that every evening!!
Nursery wise, things are coming along. I have most of the plans complete at least! I have an idea for paint, the light fixture, fabric to re-do the armchair/ottoman (thanks K & T!).. just gotta get it done! I would LOVE to get most of it done this month, and have February to get last minute things, stock-up on things and get the bags ready. Who knows if this one is going to be late like Ben! Easter weekend (the due date) would be lovely though!

I have been sick for 8 or 9 days now...the doc took a swab for Strep but with the holidays, asked me to take it in since there wouldn't be a pick-up for the lab in time. I didn't get to the lab in time either and now the swab isn't good anymore. With strep does your throat really hurt a lot? Mine doesn't, just have swollen glands and very stuffed sinuses. So I don't think it's strep. And I want to avoid the gross swab. MUST they shove it so far down your throat?!
Are you feeling better now?
Oops duh. I thought you meant Strep Throat but then I realized when I googled Strep B that this is the infection, yes?? Doh. Silly me!
How come you had the group b strep swab done so early? Just curious because in the past I had it done with all of them around week 36.
Glad all is well! xo
Happy New Year to you all!
This is the year you have a baby! Yay!!
