28 weeks

I finally made it to the third trimester!! Baby Ava is now about 14 or 15 inches long and weighs a little over 2 and a half pounds. Her eyes now open and close. This week I had a doctors appointment. I will start going to the doctor every two weeks. My doctors appointment went really well. I have gained 21 pounds (which seems to me like a lot) but my doctor said that's good. I won't have any more ultrasounds unless there is something abnormal at one of my appointments. So far everything looks really good. She is moving a lot. She moves more during the week than she does on the weekend. My theory is that she likes to be still and quiet to hear Phil. I am pretty sure she's going to be a daddy's girl. My only complaints are I now get charlie horses in the middle of the night. They are very painful and my legs ache from getting them (almost every day now), heart burn, and I now have some minor form of morning sickness, but its brief and doesn't last very long.
Everything is going pretty well. The weather has improved. We haven't had snow for a while, our weather even got up in the 80's several times.
Last week was a little hectic. We had an assessment (or audit) last week at work. It was a pretty big audit. It was an audit by the company that manages our center. In August we have another audit by the Department of Labor.
On Friday my Aunt Marion came to town to visit. She was able to see my parents home and stay with them for several days. It was great to see her and it was so nice that she was able to come and visit all of us.
I haven't done too much since the cradle. I have washed all the clothes I have received. I have put them in drawers but I will probably rearrange them again before Ava is born when I get more room. My shower is next weekend (May 9th). I'm excited, and I can't wait! Then I found out I'm having one at work too at the end of May! I feel so lucky to get two showers.
