Size of the baby: Eggplant – 14.5 inches long and weighs 2 pounds.

  Biggest baby development: Baby can recognize and differentiate Mom and Dad's voices now!
   Total weight gain: Didn't weigh myself.
   Gender: Boy!!
  Maternity clothes: Same old jeans, tops, and dresses. My wardrobe is really exciting lately.    Movement: He's kicking more each day but his favorite times to kick are early in the morning when I'm still laying on my side and early evening.
   Sleep: Laying on my side is pretty painful on my back and hips. I can't wait to sleep on my back again.
   Nursery: I decided to move his nursery from one room to the other - there's more space and a better layout. We had the crib setup in the old room and had to take it almost completely apart to move it down the hallway.
   Cravings: Sandwiches and cheese crackers.
   Symptoms: My left foot and ankle are starting to swell. This is the foot I had my bunion removed on and it has never been right since the surgery when I was in high school. Also still having heartburn.
   Khanh is: Poking and talking to baby on a daily basis. I'm sure he already loves Daddy!
   Looking forward to: Another baby shower this weekend, seeing my family, and vacation next week!
   Best moments: Getting to spend time with my grandparents after work one night. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa for dinner :) I also got to spend some time with my other grandma who flew in from Maryland for my baby shower last weekend. I hadn't seen her since our wedding last summer.   Note: I post these updates at the end of the week, so I am currently in my 28th week.
