28 Weeks- 3rd Trimester

28 weeks! Around 14.8in &  2.25 lb.  {cabbage}

Heartbeat at Last Appointment: 144

Gender:  Sweet Little Girl

Names:  Ali Noel Prather

Symptoms: New one this week: braxton hicks contractions.  I woke up Friday night with painful contractions {3 with in 15 minutes!} I called the on-call doctor and he told me to drink lots of water and lay on my left side. If they did not stop I would have to go to the emergency room. Thank goodness around 4:00am they did.  The bad news is I don't think this is the last one I will have. 

Maternity Clothes: Maternity Jeans, & Pants.  I have been wearing a belly band everyday.  It seems to help with my back since my abs are out of commission. 

Sleep: Still good but I need a pillow to prop  my belly up
Movement:  Kicking all the time now.  I can watch/ feel her move from side to side. Caroline feels her too.

Food Cravings/aversions: Peanut butter on a toasted bagels & Chi tea latte from J&B coffee.

Best Moments this Week: Meeting Baby Jack. It was so great to see the Falcos!

Also from this week I took Caroline to a Monterey pep rally on Friday. She had a blast watching the band and the cheerleaders.  

All bundled up this morning.  Finally feels like fall/ winter

We made chocolate chip muffins to celebrate the fact that Caroline went without a pull up the last 2 nights.  She has been dry through the night for about a month now but we used the last pull up so it was time.
