Joining the 3rd Trimester Club


Take a look at the new 28 week pictures (to enlarge click on the picture)! As you can see, a lot of my hair is gone! It was driving me nuts so I got rid of it! The good news is, they cut 12 inches so I was able to donate to Locks of Love! :-)

Well, we're in the final stretch! Even though we still have roughly 12 weeks to go, it is fast approaching!! Today I go in for my glucose screening test and drink the bright orange Glucola I have heard so many wonderful things about. ;-) Exactly an hour after I drink the strange sugary liquid, they will test my blood to determine whether or not gestational diabetes is present. Bennett is CONSTANTLY moving and lately has enjoyed kicking me in the ribs on my right side ;-). It has been a great thing for Quinn because he can now regularly feel his son moving (starting at ~ 27 weeks)!

According to Baby Center, "By this week, your baby weighs 2.25 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." Pretty incredible!

We have some exciting things coming up, like a trip to St. Louis and my shower, so I will keep you all posted! :-)

Let me try to re-cap life :-). Bennett is a wonderful child. He is almost 20 months now! He is sensitive and sweet, and has a funny personality. He loves to run around with his arms behind him like he's an airplane and says several words and two-word phrases at this point: what's this, mama, dada, papa, grama, dog, horse, eyes, love you, please, thank you, sorry, bye-bye, hi, no, yes, etc. His receptive language seems superior: he understands so much! He LOVES animals; we recently started getting him the little animals from Tractor Supply. He now has North American, African and farm critt...
