28 Weeks!

Week 28
Baby: Your baby measures about 10 inches from crown to rump, or a total length of about 15.75 inches from head to toe, and weighs about 2.4 pounds. Brain waves show rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which means your baby may be dreaming. Eyelids are opening. Branches of lungs are developing, so there's a good chance that baby would survive if born prematurely now.



Mom-to-be: Your uterus extends well above your navel. As baby gets bigger and stronger this month, you may be experiencing leg cramps and mild swelling of ankles and feet, difficulty sleeping, shortness of breath, lower abdominal achiness, clumsiness or scattered Braxton Hicks contractions (hardening and relaxing of the uterus, like rehearsals for labor). You may also be urinating more frequently again as the uterus continues to push on your bladder.

WOW. I can't believe this little girl weighs almost 2 1/2 pounds already! She's going to be here before we know it! It makes me feel really good just knowing that if something were to happen, like premature labor, right now, then there would be a chance that the baby could survive. Let's hope everything goes as planned though!



So this weekend when Matt was home, he painted the nursery. I'll try to take some pictures once we have decorated a little bit more and organized some of the new baby stuff we've gotten. We are so blessed that Matt's brother Sam and our sister-in-law Nicole have given us a TON of stuff from our nieces Abby & Hannah. They gave us a whole tote full of the cutest clothes ever!!! We're lucky that our baby is going to be born in the winter so we're able to share a lot of the same stuff as our nieces since they were also both born in the winter.



Well, less than 12 weeks until she's here, which means, less than 12 weeks until Christmas!! shoot, we have to go shopping!!
