28 Weeks
28 wks LMP (26 wks gestation).
The baby weighs approximately 2.22 lbs or 1005 grams and is 14.8 inches or 37.6 cm long.
The baby has assumed the "fetal position," with its legs tucked up to its chest.
It's common to be tested for gestational diabetes about this time but I haven't had any real signs of this so we have opted out at this point. We also opted out with Hadley.
I might feel Braxton-Hicks contractions at this time. The uterus hardens for a moment then returns to normal. Hmmm, maybe that is what I have been feeling???
The baby's eyes open and the eyes are able to sense light changes in the womb. Interesting but I don't quite understand how there would be light changes in there.
Hormonal changes may cause grouchiness to come back.
Congestion might set in as hormones continue to change. I should avoid heavy, fatty foods, they are harder to digest.
I feel a lot of kicking or punching these days but I love it.
Today I visited my friend Christine and her new baby Luke. He was born June 19th. He is so little. She looks great, but she reminded me of how much work a newborn is but how worth it it all is. :) Hannah is doing well being a big sister.
Hadley loved seeing the baby and talking about our baby too. :)
