Week 28- The third and final trimester!!
We are on the home stretch. Tank is about the size of a
Chinese cabbage (weight wise 2 1/4 lbs )
and is about 14 ½ inches long. Eyes are open and closing, the eyes have
eyelashes. In the next 12 weeks Tank will grow from ¼ to ½ lb a week. If I don’t
gain any more weight from fat, I am expected to gain another 11lbs! WHEW.
Another fun fact is that the Tanks brain is going from a smooth appearances and
is now getting those grooves in it called SULCI. He just gets more baby like
and less alien like. As for changes in me, I’ve developed a very fine linea negra.
That is a faint dark line that extends vertically over my abdomen. It is normal
in pregnancy and should fade. It is NOT a stretch mark, thank god. So far I can
thank my mom for good genetics. She has 12 weeks left before I either thank her
or curse her. I had the worse Charlie horse of my life last night! I now have
new sympathy for those professional players who cramp up during games. It hurt
all damn day! Some days are better than others physically. After three days of
working in the hospital my feet and back are pretty much done, but I am not in
agony yet. I have given up running for good. I walked with a limp for a week
after that 5k jog.
Not much else is new here. We posted the pictures of the
trailer which is the biggest news in this neighborhood. We are going camping
this weekend to test it out. Should be fun. Next weekend Kris is going
shrimping in Prince William sound and then the following weekend we will be in
Idaho!! Yahoo.
