28 weeks!

Third (and final) trimester!!! Only 12 weeks more weeks till we meet our lil Nugget:) We are beginning to prepare for Nugget's arrival. Our office is slowly converting into a nursery:) We are signed up for birthing classes next month and a tour of the hospital. Happily, I will be delivering at the hospital that I have been working at and it is only a 4 minute drive from our house! 
Baby is approximately the size of a chinese cabbage, weighing in around 2.5lbs. I thought I was feeling him a lot in the previous few weeks, but over the past few days he must have learned how to somersault or grab onto his feet! I am feeling his movements all the time and they are stronger and feel more purposeful. My favorite is when he stretches and pushes out on my belly:) I think I have felt him hiccuping a few times too. He has just about reached my ribs so I have felt the occasional kick to my ribs.
His heartbeat is strong enough now for me to hear very faintly with my stethoscope when he is in the right position! He has learned to open his eyes and blink and will react to bright lights. He is really starting to pack on the fat and will triple his weight by his birthday. 
Everything went well at my doctor's appointment. Still measuring well and his heartbeat was strong and fast:) We have had a good two weeks with no problems!

 

Happy 29th Birthday Babe! We love you<3
