28 weeks

baby is the size of: an eggplant
how far along are you: 28 weeks, 2 days
what's happening with baby: baby's eyelids are able to open and close, and he now may be able to sense light filtering in through the womb.
due date: jan 10
sleep: i usually wake up once between 3-4 to pee.  if i sleep too long, my hips really start to ache.  there have been times when i've tried to sleep in a bit but i can't because my hips hurt. 
best moment this week: the negative ffn test on wednesday night.  knowing that baby boy will keep cooking for at least another 2 weeks.
what are you looking forward to: nothing big this week, actually! 
what do you miss:  not being punched in the ribs.  sleeping through the night.  pain-free days.
symptoms: big belly.  pain - from under my right boob, around the side, and across my back.  and i'm definitely waddling every now and then.  my belly gets very heavy, especially towards the end of the day.   
movement:  he has been a very active little boy this week!  i feel like he moves more than he's still.
gender: baby boy!! 
belly button: in, but not for long, i think.
rings: on, but i think my time is limited on that.
