28 Weeks

Amazing how time has gone by and we are already at the beginning of the third trimester. 

Your baby's the size of an eggplant!

Putting on layers of fat, your baby now weighs in around 1.5 to 2.5 pounds and measures about 13.6 to 14.8 inches.

• She's starting to develop more fat, so her wrinkly skin will start to get smoother.
• Her lungs are mature enough that she'd probably survive if she was born now. Wow!

We are very thankful for progress we have seen and heard from the Doctors at our regular checkups. The baby is still on target with size and weight, he/she may even be a little bigger! 

We have our ideas of what the gender will be but in the end we will be happy with what ever God has given us. 

26 Weeks

26 weeks have already come and gone. 

We were able to have another ultrasound done this past Monday and everything still looks great!! The Doctor was very encouraging and we were thankful to hear that the baby is still growing according to plan.. they can even calculate the baby being 5 days bigger than anticipated so we thank the Lord for such blessings!

Here is the progress report on the estimated size the baby is at this time..

Your baby's the size of a head of lettuce!

She's still growing in the 13.6- to 14.8-inch and 1.5- to 2.5-pound range, and developing her senses, features and talents!

your baby at 26 weeks

• Her eyes are forming, and his eyes will soon start to open.
• And her eyelashes are now grown, too.
• She's getting her immune system ready for life on the outside by soaking up your antibodies.
• She's taking breaths, too. They're of amniotic fluid, not air, but it's still good practice.

the weather....

Just thought I would share the temperatures we had this past summer... now that we are in the middle of winter with snow all around us! :)

Doesn't 95 degree weather just sound great?!?!?!?! :)

It is pretty cold with strong winds at times.. our puppy (I have forgotten to tell you about.. next time..) barks at every noise he hears from the wind!

24 Weeks!

Already 5 months along! It has been an amazing few weeks feeling the baby move and kick. At 22 weeks when I posted they said the baby sleeps about 12-14 hour incriments... I am not sure where they have gotten that from because this baby is awake every time I sit down! :)

your baby's the size of a cantaloupe!

Your 10.5-to-11.8-inch fetus weighs about 12.7 to 20.8 ounces and every week she gets closer and closer to being ready to survive (and thrive!) in the outside world.

your baby at 24 weeks

• Her see-through skin is gradually becoming more opaque.
• And it's got a new pink glow, thanks to the small capillaries that have recently formed.
