We have hit the THIRD TRIMESTER!


On January 16th, we hit 28 weeks in our baby countdown. This past Friday we met with Dr. P. for our 28 week appointment. As usual, everything looked good and baby is still not a fan of being poked at with the heart monitor. A swift kick or two while hearing baby's heartbeat always makes Dr. P laugh. Baby and mommy are measuring right where we should be. According to our surprise sonogram, baby weighs 2 lbs and 12 ounces, putting baby in the 53rd percentile. A few things we were not expecting were handouts from the doctor. Our first form was a circumcision form, in the event that baby turns out to be a boy. We received directions on "kick counts," which we are to start at 34 weeks. Not that we both do not sit in bed every night waiting for kicks anyway. And the last form, our pre-registration to the hospital. Jeez, we already have to think about registering at the hospital. Things are really speeding up here. Al future appointments are only two weeks apart, now.
Here are some pics from baby at 28 weeks. We got a surprise sonogram!


Mitch likes to call this "Drunk Baby" because it looks like baby is burping. Although we were told that little bubble-like shape by the mouth is a part of the umbilical cord. Foot

I think baby is gonna have Mommy's lips:)
