Week 28

OK, so I am posting this info a little late (I will be 29 weeks tomorrow). However, I thought you all might be interested in knowing how Baby Boy LaBombard is developing anyway. My plan is to post this same kind of thing each week as I head into the final stretch.

How our baby's growing:
By this week, he weighs in now at 2.2 pounds (1005gm) and is 14.8 inches (37.6cm)from the top of his head to his heels.
The eyes are completely formed now. Quite a view from inside! He can open and close his eyes, which now sport lashes. This movement is more of a reflexive blink than a deliberate opening and closing. With his eyesight developing, he may be able to see the light that filters in through my womb.
He's also developing billions of neurons in his brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world. The hair on baby's head is growing longer. Some babies are born with almost none at all (our babies fall into this category), while others appear to be ready for their first haircut!
Baby boy's body is getting plump and rounded. Most of that increase is muscle tissue and bone. Fat will be added during the third trimester. His muscle tone is improving. Preparation for the Olympics feels like it is taking place in your womb! (Especially at night - he has been doing gymnastics tonight)!
His lungs are capable of breathing now (but he would still struggle and require medical attention if born now).
He can recognize my voice now.

For me, I weighed in at 124 on Tuesday (my 28th week) my BP was 100/62 (fabulous), and my waist measures 35.5". I would have loved to have been able to keep track of that throughout this pregnancy so I could compare it to the girls. I KNOW I am smaller this time - just not sure how much. Arizona has been good for that.

Well, that is all the info I have on week 28. I'll be posting week 29 tomorrow.

Blessings,
Kim
