28 Weeks. Third Trimester!

How your baby's growing:

By this week, your 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 your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

27 Weeks

How your baby's growing:

This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.

November Recap

I guess I better hurry up and do my November recap before December is over. Man, time is going by way too fast. Savanna turned 8 this month. Mike and I got her a bike for her birthday. Hopefully her mother will take a picture of her on it so we can see. We had 3 baby doctor appointments this month. 2 were regular appointments that I have every 3 weeks. And we had another anatomy scan. They couldn't get certain measurements the first time. This time they just pushed and punched on me for almost 2 hours until she would cooperate. And this was also the appointment where I was accepted into the trial for Yale.

Mike's football ended in November. Their last game was the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The week before that they played in Waterbury and I went with him for the first time. With the snow storm in October, trick or treating was rescheduled to the first Saturday in November. Mike took Victoria. They met up with his family and the kids got tons of candy.

Victoria got High Honors on the honor roll and Student of the Semester this month! I had a seminar at the Aqua Turf. They had breakfast and I got a seat near the potty!!! Joey also had a birthday this month. We gave him his gift on Thanksgiving!

And thanks to Captain O we were able to take the boys and Victoria to a Quinnipiac Boys Basketball Game. They played the Navy Midshipmen. And better yet, they won 78-58! All the kids had a good time.

Let's see what December brings!

26 Weeks

How your baby's growing:

The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.
