How Far Along: 28 weeks on Tuesday 5/1/12 - Last Trimester! 7 months along! I hope bb2.0 is not like his brother and 6 weeks early, I have nothing ready for his arrival. Praying I don't have another NICU baby! I just want him to be full term and healthy.
Size of baby: 14.8 inches long and 2 1/4 pounds.
Gender: Boy... we have a name...Bennett Gray, see below of how we picked it out!!
Maternity Clothes: I really don't wear maternity clothes right now, I can't stand the maternity jeans because they don't stay up so it's lots of workout clothes and non-maternity dresses that I have.
Weight gain: 12 pounds
Belly Button: in
Movement: Very active little wiggle worm!
Sleep: So exhausted. Still wondering when I'll get my energy burst. I don't think it's happened yet. Maybe it'll show up in this last trimester.
Symptoms: I passed my 1 hr. glucose test. Thank goodness! I was so excited when the nurse called to tell me but I am anemic and have to take an iron supplement which may explain some of my tiredness to the point of I can't even think sometimes. I just thought chasing our wild little p was taking lots of energy.
Cravings: I'm not really having any besides fruit and cereal. I could eat cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Best moment this week: bb2.0 finally has a name!! Bennett is my great grandmothers maiden name and whom I'm named after (Anna "Bennett") and then "Gray" is from Graysen's name since Parker is a family name and he has Graysen's middle name we wanted to incorporate Graysen's first name into this baby's middle name. We love using family names! The meaning of the name Bennett is blessed and we have been very blessed to have another sweet baby boy in our lives.
Here were a few of our top name choices:
Patten, Griffen, Bennett and Harrison were the main four we were deciding between.

Yayyyy!!! I LOVE family names, and of course Bennett is a perfect choice! Yay for great grandmothers with cool maiden names, right?!! ;-)
You look amazing, and I love the name! For the iron supplement, I can't recommend Floradix (http://www.vitacost.com/flora-floradix-floravital-iron-and-herb-yeast-free) highly enough. My midwife recommended it & I started using it around the same time when I was told I was anemic, and I love it. It doesn't come with any of the not so pleasant side effects of regular iron supplements.
LOVE the name! And you look amazing!
I love family names too - Bennett is such a great name. Lucky boy! :-)
You are a precious little mama!
Love the name!!
