28 Weeks!

We've made it to the third trimester!
Here's what's happening with baby Dane right now:
By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of his head to his heels. He can blink his eyes, which now sport lashes. With his eyesight developing, he may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. He's also developing billions of neurons in his brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

I still feel great! Also more wonderful news...I passed my 3 hour glucose test so no gestational diabetes! Whew, I was worried about not getting to eat pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving! Thank you for the prayers and well wishes for that! Here's my 28 week picture so you can all see how the buddha is growing!

Hi Jen,
You look fantastic. I'm glad your glucose test turned out neg. I was borderline and I know how bad it was to cut back on the sweets, let alone the Dairy Queen oreo blizzards I craved EVERY day!!! I have the same chair, you will love it. When people ask you how many kids you have, you definitely can say 2!!!! You both are going to be wonderful parents!!! Hailey and Hayden are going to be excited to meet another new little friend. Take care, Love Jeannette
