Made it to my first goal! Two more weeks until my next goal...
How big is baby?
He is about 16 inches and 2 1/2 pounds. Just a little bigger than the ultrasound last week.
What is baby up to?
He is able to blink his eyes, which were sealed up until this week. His skin continues to become smoother as he is gaining more body fat. He is also beginning to have regular sleep/wake cycles, and will generally sleep about 30 minutes at a time.
Movement
Still all over. I really enjoy when he has hiccups.
Blood pressure
Surprisingly low at my appointment today - 102/60. The nurse re-checked and got 126/64 a few minutes later, so that wasn't too far off. Measurements at home have consistently been around 115/75 with a few exceptions. My OB was very pleased by this. She did say that right around 28 weeks, blood pressure is typically at its lowest during the pregnancy and that it will most likely go back up.
Update
Good news at my appointment today - no gestational diabetes. Whew. One less thing to worry about. She said my weight gain is looking good too. My next appointment is in 2 weeks to check everything again, unless something comes up. Hopefully not, she's on vacation next week!

Kitty perched up on my neck as I was trying to eat dinner:
Simon rarely joins me on the couch, but he decided it was ok as long as he could lay beside Kitty:
...or on Kitty. Even if he outweighs her by 2 pounds:
