By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
How far along? 28 weeks today
Maternity clothes? Oh yes! I heart maternity pants and dresses.

Stretch marks? Nope, please stay this way!
Sleep: Not horrible, not great. I've also been waking up with these lovely leg cramps/charlie horses and toe cramps.

Best moment this week: The damask stroller came...in like 2 days! I was also happy to get some more progress done with the nursery.
Movement: All the time and all over! It's super-freaky to see my belly bump & bounce.
Food cravings: It was a very chocolate-filled week, yet again. I should be embarrassed but I totally crushed an entire package of Oreo's in about 3 days.
Gender: It's a girl!
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? Still an innie, not for long though.

What I miss: Not flying out of bed in pain from leg cramps!
What I am looking forward to: Cooking out at the in-laws tonight for Memorial Day...love hamburgers and potato chips!
Weekly Wisdom: Prop your legs on some pillows to help with the leg cramps...keep drinking that water!What I am looking forward to: Cooking out at the in-laws tonight for Memorial Day...love hamburgers and potato chips!
We pulled our first weed this weekend...Yes, we've lived here for 2 years now. I don't think it's a secret that Jordan and I both absolutely hate yard work, especially since we both have been suffering from nasty allergies. We spent all day Saturday pulling weeds and even pulled a couple ugly bushes out. We plan to hopefully re-do it all before Sophia gets here, but we'll see if we have enough time. It's starting to look much better already!
I've got Jordan in nesting mode along with me now...He's gotten a start on our to-do list, so that's been mind settling for me. I just get in these panics that we have a million things to do and our house needs so much done, I'm crazy :)

I wouldn't be embarrased about the oreos. I have eaten a whole bag in a few days too, and I wasn't pregnant! Just thinking about them is making me want one, I haven't had them in such a long time because I can't eat just one.
