How far along: 28 Weeks, 5 days: I know I'm late.. I was waiting on our growth scan- which was yesterday :)
Baby is the size of an: Eggplant per the baby sites, but as of yesterday baby was 2lbs 14oz... big and measuring ahead! 2.91lbs is the average for 30 weeks!
Total weight gain: Up 11, that's 4 pounds in 2.5 weeks. Yikes. Be careful what you wish for.
Maternity clothes: You know it.
Stretch marks: None yet.. hoping to stay that way
Sleep: Harder to get to and stay asleep. I'm sore and restless
Best moment since last update: Seeing baby on the scan- all looking good :)
Miss anything: Sleep
Movement: Yep, a lot. I get nervous when I don't feel baby now.
Food cravings: No cravings. Sometimes I'm hungry, other times not so much. I still am throwing up occasionally. This will never change I think.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Yes, but it's random.
Have you started to show yet: Yes
Sex: I almost asked yesterday, happy I didn't.. now hub would be mad if we found out. Trying to decide how we want to be told- by the midwife? Will hub peak and tell me? Should I look and tell him? Look together? EXCITING
Labor signs: No, but I have hub on the "you better answer your phone in case I'm in labor" leash.
Belly button in or out: Still in, but shallow and stretched.
Wedding rings on or off: On, no swelling at all, knock on wood.
Happy or moody most of the time: Most of the time I'm just emotional.. I cry at everything.
Per this graphic from the BJM paper "Prediction of survival for preterm births by weight and gestational age: retrospective population based study" with my 1304gram 29(ish) week baby, we're looking at a 90% survival rate, at 32 weeks, even if baby doesn't gain an ounce (in theory) survival is at 99%. CRAZY.
