Weeks 28, 29, 30, & 31

How Far Along: 28 Weeks

Size of Baby: Baby Wilkins is the size of an average head of Chinese cabbage.
Maternity Clothes: mostly maternity; some regular shirts and dresses still fit
Gender: It's a girl!!! Emmalyn Caroline Wilkins
Movement: Baby girl moves all the time! She is starting to do what I call elephant movements (big and strong). These have gotten more often and Justin says that she is already a baseball fan because when we watch the Braves or I watch his softball games she moves even more. :-)
Sleep: Not so great… I wake up with leg cramps and then have to get up and go to the bathroom because I am awake. Guess I am just being prepared for having a newborn.
What I Miss: Not sure that I really missed anything this week.
Cravings: Thursday my plans changed and I was not able to have a decaf caramel frappe for breakfast I had been looking forward to all week. So the entire day all I could think about was coffee!
Best Moment this week: Going to the preparing for parenthood class at the hospital where I will deliver. It was great to get a tour of the rooms and to talk about the process of delivering at the hospital. Talking about labor made me both excited and overwhelmed because although I am ready to meet our little girl, once she is fully baked; I have so much to finish before she gets here.
