28 Weeks (November 2 - 8)

Officially starting the third trimester this week! Had this photo taken last Saturday at exactly 28weeks and 1day by my dear hubby when we went to the park. Anyway, I've been feeling great this week but I noticed that my appetite has increased. It's like I'm hungry every hour so I eat every hour, gosh! How am I going to limit my weight gain to a pound each week? It might have something to do with the new vitamin I'm taking but yesterday, I got sick and didn't even feel hungry at all. I only had a glass of orange juice and a cheese bread for lunch and a little snack for dinner. It's tough to get sick while pregnant. My whole body was in pain and I was scared to take any kind of medication because I got another life in me to protect. I did call my doctor in the afternoon to ask if there is something I can take to ease the pain. She told me to take some Tylenol and that really helped me a lot. I am feeling a lot better than yesterday but I don't think I have fully recovered yet. I still just wanna lay in bed but I got 2 boys to look after so I'm just hanging out with them. At least they're not too demanding right now. They quite understand that mommy isn't feeling very good.

How my baby's growing:

By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of his head to his heels. He can blink his eyes, which now sport lashes. With his eyesight developing, he may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. He's also developing billions of neurons in his brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
