Feelin' Great at Week 28!

Ok, I know that sounds kinda dorky, but it's true!  I'm feeling great, aside from being a little tired and having some round ligament pain...but I can deal!

Here's what's going on with our little one...

*Eyebrows and eyelashes are noticeable

*Hair is growing longer

*Eyes are completely formed - I can't wait to see what they look like!

*She is getting plump and rounded from muscle tissue and bone.

*Lungs are capable of breathing!

*Average weight is 2.2 lbs. and 14.8 inches!

She is a mover too - I've been feeling tons of movement, especially in the evenings.  Jason has felt her kick too!  Last night she gave a big kick into his hand...VERY cool!

Third trimester...and week 27!

Can't believe we're in the third trimester...time is flying by!

Here's what's going on with our little girl...

*Retinas have formed and she can tell light from dark

* Her brain continues its rapid growth

*Baby's hearing continues to develop (I'm sure all the coughing is helping her!!) 

*Lungs are growing and preparing to function outside the womb

*She will grow over an inch this week alone!!

*The average size is 14.4 inches and 1.9 lbs

Doctor's Appointment

We had another doctor's appointment today!  

Everything looks good.  I've gained a little more weight than past appointments, but I blame Christmas and the cookies!!  The doctor didn't seem too worried about it as it is the first big gain for the pregnancy.

I had my glucose test today, and are waiting for the results.  We'll see if we get a call tomorrow.  We got to hear the heartbeat again, and the doctor said everything sounds good!

And...we're in the third trimester officially tomorrow!

Week 26...

means only 6 days until we are in the third trimester!!  Crazy...

She weighs about 2 pounds now and is 14 inches long!

Her spine is getting stronger and the air sacs in the lungs are forming.

Her eyes are opening and is beginning to blink! Retinas are also forming.

Can't believe how fast it is going, before we know it she will be here!

WOW - week 25!

We're already at week 25!  That is crazy! Soon we will be in the third trimester and then our little girl will be here!

*The spine is beginning to form - joints ligaments and rings

*Blood vessels in the lungs are developing

*Her nostrils are beginning to open

*Swallowing reflexes are developing

*Her dexterity is improving, making a fist and ability to clasp objects

*Approx. length is 13.6 inches and weighs 1.46lbs.
