Third Trimester

Well, I'm officially in the third trimester. It's really hard to believe that I only have a little less than 3 months left. And I have a feeling with the holidays here, it is going to fly by! Here is what the little one has been up to in week 28:

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.

We have also been busy - we ordered the furniture for the nursery last week so that's a BIG thing we can mark off the list. My friend Dana also loaned us a bassinette so we'll at least have a place for the baby to sleep for the first few weeks. The nursery is still a work in progress but it's getting there.

In other not-so-exciting news, I take mt 3 hour glucose test tomorrow so wish me luck. By the way, this fasting thing sucks - and it's only been 2 hours!!
