28 Weeks


Hello, Third Trimester!


By this week, our baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through the womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

TO DO LIST (for now): Rearrange Ruth's bedroom, the girls will most definitely share a room! Begin going through the pile of boxes in garage labeled "baby stuff". Sleep. Enjoy quality time with Mark. Sleep. Enjoy quality time with Ruth. SLEEP! See as many movies at the theatre as possible. Prep a new baby scrapbook!

Wow!!! I can't believe you've reached your third trimester. That is super cool. Totally agree with your to-do list! Sleep, QT with hubby, and outings will refresh you for having a new infant in the house.
