3rd Trimester...is here!!

3rd trimester 28 weeks - birth (40 weeks)  

CRAVINGS ~ 

1. Chocolate 

2. Salty cheese crackers 

But mostly sweets. I craved a lot of sweets in the beginning of this trimester.  I craved so much that I was afraid I was going to be delivering a big baby! I would say that chocolate was a craving through this whole trimester. 

28 weeks: Baby is the size of an eggplant!! 

Baby also already weighs 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 pounds! 

 

29 weeks: Baby is the size of a acorn squash 

 30 weeks: Baby is the size of a cucumber 

I've started feeling baby Hoehamer have the hiccups. 

31 weeks: Baby is the size of a pineapple 

Baby also now has all of his senses.  

Looking forward to seeing our little one!  

32 weeks: Baby is the size of a squash. 

This week baby flipped to the upside down position!! So excited that means we are getting even closer.  

33 weeks: Baby is the size of a durian fruit, which I had no clue what this was so I looked it up.  Apparently it is grown in Southeast Asia and grows on trees. 

34 weeks: Baby is the size of a butternut squash.  Baby is about 17 to 18 in long and weighs between 4 and 5 lbs!  Can't believe that in only 6 weeks baby Hoehamer will be here! 

35 weeks: Baby is the size of a coconut!  Baby's hearing is completely developed. 

36 weeks: Baby is the size of a honeydew. Baby Hoehamer's liver and kidneys are now in working order. 

 

37 weeks:  Baby is the size of a winter melon. Baby measures about 18 to 20 inches and weights between 6 to 9 lbs.  Here's hoping for a 7 pound baby!  But, baby is growing up to 1/2 an ounce a day.

38 weeks:  Baby is the size of a pumpkin. 

If I could plan it, I would have baby come after this weekend! Here's hoping to baby coming sooner rather than later!! 

Also we had to have a 2nd ultra sound for my ankle because they were afraid I might have a blood clot, which luckily I didn't.  But, we were able to try again and see what we were having.  

IT'S A GIRL!!!!  

Only 2 weeks to go until we get to see her!! 

We didn't make it past 38 weeks.  Baby was born just after 38 weeks.  I will be posting about baby shortly.

SO HAPPY SHE IS HERE!!!
