I officially hit 28 weeks! This is a huge, huge milestone. Every four weeks is one step closer to a happy, healthy Yoda bear. My doctors are very happy with the progress of the pregnancy and namely, how the cerclage has been holding up. The next big milestone is 32 weeks. Whew! Let's hope it's a quick four weeks!

Today is HDBD. I took this picture late Monday night and I'm really glad I did since I've been sick lately. I'm really digging this top from Motherhood Maternity. I'm almost tempted to go out and buy a few more.
I've been meaning to add stats and here they are. Better late than never!
How far along? 27 weeks according to LMP.
Weight gain/loss? Still no weight gain and probably with my newest
Today, I officially hit the third trimester according to LMP. Yoda is still measuring ahead in both body and head, though my doctors are confident I will go full-term. Nothing like the thought of giving birth to a big-ass baby to comfort me. :P

I have been playing a lot of Michael Jackson and The

We watched this video last night to mixed reaction. For the record, we didn't have a problem with the video itself or the technique. The issue I had mainly, was seeing the newborn. So tiny! So precious! A widdle baybee!

In a few months, I'm going to have one of those. Eek! I don't know how to handle something so small! The smallest thing
I officially hit the uncomfortable sleep stage. It hurts to sleep on my sides, no matter how many times I roll over. And it takes me forever to go to sleep because somebody wants to start playing kick-ball when I'm resting. He particularly likes to punch my bladder. Ugh.boo.hiss.
In other news, I found a onesie that I just adore! I added it to my registry but I might end

I finally chose my baby shower invite. I had it customized so I'm hoping my hosts have made their final decision because I ain't changin' this.

I decided to combine two of my favorite things: purple and leopard print. Those who know me will tell you this invite fits my personality.
I'm a little nervous about sending out the baby shower invites.
This is a picture from last Thursday. I've been doing a lot of sleeping lately so when I feel to take a Week 25 pic, I'll submit here. Probably on Friday.
This kid is all belly. I've only gained one pound within the past two weeks. Yeah, one pound. Blame that on the fact my family history is jacked up (high blood pressure, heart disease, heart attack, stroke, cancer, just
