28 Weeks... 12 to go

Blair & I had a productive weekend. We got a lot done around the house and many necessary errands accomplished. We also bought a camcorder so we can be ready for baby b's arrival. Right now we're testing it out on Spence!

On Sunday we went to a Richmond Braves game with Justin and Grady... too bad the Braves played terribly. The food at ballparks are always the best. I love the hot dogs and cotton candy (so does baby b).

I'm 28 weeks along now. Here is what baby b is up to:

-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. Her eyes are doing a lot of blinking this week because they're now able to respond to light and dark.
-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!
-Your baby weighs in now at 2.2 pounds and is 14.8 inches.
