28 weeks

According to Dr. George, I am almost too healthy to need to come in and see him. Almost. :) Generally this is about the time I'd switch to going in every two weeks (I'm currently at the doctor every 4 weeks) but he recommended 3 weeks, so that's what I'm doing.

The booger was doing great, he didn't seem to happy about the doppler thingy moving around on my belly as he got very active as the nurse was trying to get his heartrate...there were huge squeals of static every time he kicked it. His heart rate was within the normal range and Dr. George said I am measuring right on target for my due date.

The gremlin currently weighs about 2 lbs 4 oz or so (he's a chinese cabbage this week) and is about 14.8 inches long from the top of his head to his heels. He must be folded right in half in there! He has eyelashes and may be able to see light filtering in through the uterine wall.

I'm feeling pretty good most of the time; I'm starting to have more trouble sleeping as my hips are getting more and more sore the more time I spend on my side. It's mostly ok though - I'll have a few bad nights and then be so tired that I sleep like a rock for about 12 hours and feel great for the next day or two.

12 weeks to go!
