The Start of our 3rd and Final Trimester

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.

Hi Izzyboo!

We are in our 28th week today...and it's our third and final trimester. We are in the home stretch! And wow, are we ever growing! Mommy had to take out her belly ring because it is finally feels like it is stretching our skin. Our belly is getting itchy too! Mommy is trying her best not to scratch but it is very hard when I am unconsciously doing it in my sleep!

Daddy has started getting ready for your grand arrival by getting us a new car. We now have to get your carseat. Daddy says this car is really safe and smooth for you to ride in it...it's been a week now, and Mommy absolutely agrees! We even feel safe driving down the crazy LA freeways...usually we don't like driving on them.

Anyway, we have scheduled a 3/4D ultrasound next week so we can take a little peek at you...we haven't seen you in such a long time. We want to see how you have grown and they say that we can even see clear feature details! Mommy and Daddy can hardly wait for that appointment!

Till then....

Love, Mom
