baby #4, 28 weeks



I just came across this post from when I was 28 weeks pregnant with baby S. I thought it would be fun to do a post for this pregnancy at 28 weeks too. :)

How far along: 28 weeks!

Due date: Nov 14th 2015. (Hoping baby will arrive 2 weeks early like my other three!)



Total weight gain/loss:
Way too much! I've never weighed this much before. Just get me through this pregnancy and I SWEAR I will start loosing like crazy!!!




Maternity clothes: I've been wearing them since early in my first trimester

Stretch marks: I have a few. Nothing too noticeable.... pretty good for my fourth pregnancy I think.

Sleep: Sleeping great!

Symptoms: Exhausted ALL the time, hormonal, moody, crying at everything ha!

Food cravings: Nothing much really

Food aversions: Nothing much

Labor signs: None

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach, walking normally, having more energy, not being moody. But also just trying to enjoy and the last several weeks of what is probably my last pregnancy.

What I'm looking forward to: Meeting my sweet baby!! Having my body back to normal! Eating raw cookie dough haha!

Movement: I feel the baby move several times a day.

Milestones: Reaching my 3rd trimester. Appointments are every 2 weeks now!

How big is baby: According to BabyCenter: By this week, your baby weighs 2 1/4 pounds


(about the size of a large eggplant.)

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.

and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels.

Gender: A girl!

Names: Pretty sure we'll be using the girl name we chose right after I found out I was pregnant! Ha! Such a change from last pregnancy.. we weren't sure what we were going to name our third until after she was born.

Best moment(s) last week: Feeling baby move every day and hearing her heartbeat on Friday! Doing great getting through my glucose test appointment (hoping I passed) but at least I was able to lay down and didn't really feel sick at all... that's definitely a first for me!

getting back to blogging



I'd like to get back into blogging a little. After baby S (now 17 months old) I kind of lost interest in and didn't make time for regular blogging. Baby S has definitely kept me busy!!

We're having a great summer! J finished up kindergarten in early June and she's excited to start first grade this fall! C is starting kindergarten in August. I'm not sure he's terribly excited but maybe a little. :) S will turn 18 months in July. She is a handful. She never stops moving, she's a busy little thing and always into something. She started talking well before a year and has been using full sentences for months now. We're excited to welcome baby #4 in November! We just found out we're having our third little girl! I think having two little girls so close will be fun. :)



We've been having a lazy summer. Busy but pretty low key. Lots of fun outside in the water, trips to the museum and a few other outings. The kids are excited to see fireworks tonight and go to a 4th of July parade tomorrow! I'm well into my second trimester now which is always SO much better than my first so I'm feeling well enough to take the kids out pretty often.

I'm excited to start blogging again and will try to add pics of the kids soon!

Hope everyone is having a great summer!! :)
