Week 28

Week 28 means 12 more weeks, 84 days to go. Gracie is roughly 2.2 lbs and will more than triple in size in the coming weeks. She is now blinking and responding to light and dark in the womb.

"You're huge" are the kind words my husband had to say at this morning's photo shoot. I'm sure in a few weeks he will start to use adjectives that describe something that is bigger than huge, like enormous or massive. Itchy skin and back tenderness are the only effects of my hugeness to date. I feel very lucky to have escaped stretch marks for the time being.

On a completely unrelated topic, I went to a neighborhood book club last night which was a lot of fun. We are reading a book on being content with your life, which is a good reminder to focus on the positive aspects of your life and not always the negatives. I had such a good time that I stayed until midnight! I didn't know I had it in me. I think the dessert I ate around 10pm helped keep me on a sugar high.
