27 Going on 28 weeks

I've been a tad bit late on posting my weekly updates so I'm combining these two weeks. Well folks, I'm in the home stretch. I don't even know where the second trimester went. This pregnancy has seriously gone by fast. I heard it slows down now though until the big jolt at the end.

Big Ava developments: She weighs almost 2 lbs. and is about 14 1/2 inches long. She is sleeping and waking in regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and maybe sucking her thumb.

I have a doctor's appointment on Monday and I get to see her again via ultra sound. I can't wait to see her on the screen. The last time I saw her was when I was in the emergency room and that doctor was not trying to let me enjoy the glimpses I was catching. He was too busy checking for internal bleeding and getting that gel all over me. Geez, the nerve. :)

These two weeks haven't been much different for me. I can barely see my toes now and getting off the couch takes a little more time than before I was carrying all this weight. My t-shirts are a bit snug too. Ava tosses and turns alot. But for the most part, she sleeps when I sleep. I am crossing my fingers this sleep pattern continues long after birth.

I'm still trying to avoid the thought of labor. I'll worry about that um..... later.

Here's a family photo we took during Christmas / New Year's. Our last Christmas before we will be mommy and daddy.
