28wks

Woohoo!!!! 84 days left give or take!! Can't wait!!!
Symptoms: Major fatigue, major heartburn, frequent urination, increased hunger.
Cravings: Cheese Enchiladas & Pineapple

Week Twenty-Eight


* Your baby weighs in now at 2.2 pounds (1005gm) and is 14.8 inches (37.6cm). She's about the size of a Chinese cabbage.

* Eyebrows and eyelashes are now very noticeable!
* Hair on baby's head is growing longer. Some babies are born with almost none at all, while others appear to be ready for their first haircut!
* Eyes are completely formed now. Quite a view from inside!
* Your baby's body is getting plump and rounded. Most of that increase is muscle tissue and bone. Fat will be added during the third trimester.
* Muscle tone is improving. Preparation for the Olympics feels like it is taking place in your womb!
* Lungs are capable of breathing now (but baby would still struggle and require medical attention if born now)
* Talk to your baby often, reading stories, singing songs and more. She can recognize your voice now and will often calm to it later on!
