How far along? 28 weeks, babies are the size of eggplants. At the ultrasound this week baby a was measuring 2 lb. 11 oz, and baby b was 2 lb. 8 oz. Which means that these bebes are huge! The average 28 week old fetus is 2 lbs. Total weight gain/loss: 24 lbs. The belly just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Stretch marks? No Sleep: I am up multiple times every night either because I have to go to the bathroom or because I'm hungry. Clayton will find me downstairs making breakfast at 5 am.

I didn't know even know they could do that yet! Food cravings: I'm always in the mood for smoothies and pizza. Anything making you queasy or sick: I just avoid all the things that have made me feel queasy in the past Gender: Fraternal girls Belly Button in or out? still half way out Wedding rings on or off? On Happy or Moody most of the time: I had a really strange experience just today. I felt like I was on the verge of tears for no reason most of the morning. If you know me you know that I never cry, it's just not how I cope. As I was getting ready for the gym to go ...
