Pregnancy: Week 28

Today is the start of my third trimester, the FINAL trimester. So it should be down hill now. The big baby developmental news this week is that our daughter is learning how to blink her eyes. She is now about 2.5 pounds and almost 16 inches long. My belly button is still an "innie" although it's definitely creeping to the surface, I'm sure it will become an outtie eventually--it's just a matter of time. Same with the stretch marks. I had my glucose screen test today and everything else looks good.

Total weight gain: 20 pounds
Belly: 28.5"
Stretch marks: None
Belly button: In
Swelling: None
Heartburn: None
Varicose veins/skin tags/other horrors: None
Overall comfort level: Good

28 Weeks

Pregnancy: Week 20

Today I had my 5 month check-up. Baby Kolhoss is growing fast. She is now the size of a cantaloupe!

Baby Kolhoss gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, her taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies respond best to tastes they've already had via amniotic fluid.

Her heartbeat is 149bpm and weighs a total of 12 ounces. The doctor said the average risk of having a baby with Down’s Syndrome is 1 in 1,667. According to how our little baby looks so far and my recent blood test, our baby’s risk is only 1 in 5,000! Such great news! They also tested for Trisomy 18 (chromosome disorder) and our baby’s risk is only 1 in 67,691! We were happy to hear that our baby's risk is so low and that everything looks great so far!

On Wed. December 9 at 7:36PM I felt Baby Kolhoss kick for the first time! We're half way there.

Results are In

Baby Kolhoss is a GIRL

Pregnancy: 16 weeks

On Novemeber 19, I had my 16th week checkup & everything is looking good. The baby's heart rate is 156 & I have gained a total of 4 pounds. So far no signs of any stretch marks, hopefully it will stay that way. I still haven't felt any movement just yet but should be any day now. ONLY 8 more days until we find out what baby Kolhoss is going to be!

Have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Pregnancy: 14 weeks

Today I am officially 14 weeks. I am grateful to say that I am no longer spending  my day bonding with the porcelain thrown. My energy has returned however, I am now getting headaches every so often. I have only gained 1 pound since my last doctors appointment and still not showing. Only 4 more weeks to find out if it's a BOY or GIRL. We are crossing our fingers for a boy :)

Kasen...

Is going to be a BIG BROTHER!!!
