28 weeks!!!

Your developing baby, who this week weighs in at about two and a half pounds and stands — or rather lies — at almost 16 inches (measured head to toe) has added blinking, coughing, and more intense sucking to his or her growing bag of tricks.
Are you dreaming about your baby? At 28 weeks pregnant, your baby may be dreaming about you, too. Brain wave activity measured in a developing fetus shows different sleep cycles, including the rapid eye movement phase, the stage when dreaming occurs.
By now, your baby, who weighs in at about two and a half pounds and stands — or rather lies — at almost 16 inches (measured head to toe) has added blinking to his or her growing bag of tricks. (Outside in the real world, blinking is necessary to help keep foreign objects out of the eyes.) Other impressive new talents being added to your baby's roster in the womb include coughing, more intense sucking, and, perhaps most important, better breathing. Of course, it's still best if a baby doesn't check out of that uterine hotel just yet — there's still a lot of growing and maturing to do over the next 12 weeks.

I can't believe how fast time has flown! 7 months!!! 3rd Trimester! It's becoming quite the reality that there is going to be a new Crowley very soon. And we can't wait! We've ordered some finishing touches for the nursery this week, so I will be impatiently be waiting for the deliveries next week; I registered for my prenatal water aerobics class, which starts next week and booked our mini-maternity shoot with Ann when we are back in the QC --- YAY!!! It feels good to be getting necessary things accomplished! I'm a nerd that way; I'd rather be overly-prepared than not!!!

XOXO
