Happy Week 28 baby! I’ve been feeling a shortness of breath a lot lately, especially every time you stretch and push against my stomach. I think you’re pushing against my lung sweetie, but it’s nothing I can’t handle. I just love the fact that you’re growing strong, and your lungs are developing. And you have cute little eyelashes now! I’ll have to start standing closer to light so you can see the difference between darkness and light!

We’re in the final trimester together now. I can’t believe you’ll be here in just 12 weeks… It’s kinda exciting and scary at the same time. I can’t wait to meet you, but at the same time, I’m not sure if I’m ready yet. There’s still so much to do before you arrive, but my body feels like doing nothing.

You’ve been really active lately. It’s easier for me to keep track of when you’re napping than when you’re kicking. lol You love the early morning hours, especially 5-8am to do your soccer practice. And the rest of the day, you enjoy stretching and doing your yoga moves. lol Welcome again to week 28! Mommy and Daddy love you!

Here’s a fun video to see what’s happening in the last trimester!

How your baby’s growing:
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.
