Last week in the Second Trimester!

Sunday marks the last week in our second trimester! The time is really going by fast and our due date is fast approaching! I truly feel blessed that our pregnancy has been smooth sailing so far! I pray the the final 12 weeks will prove to be as enjoyable as the first 28!

Ben and I have been busy getting the baby room together and plan on "baby proofing" the house in the next few weeks. The "nesting" is really starting to settle in and I feel like I need to re-organize my whole house!

According to the website www.pregnancy.org the following is going on inside my belly and with the baby:

Week Twenty-Eight:
* 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. Quite a view from inside!
* 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. He or she can recognize your voice now and will often calm to it later on!
* Your baby weighs in now at 2.2 pounds (1005gm) and is 14.8 inches (37.6cm).
