28 weeks!!! Wre in the 3rd and final Trimester...

How baby Ava is 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.


Ava's development in pregnancy week 28:


Ava in seventh month You know how you’ve been feeling a bit like a barn with legs? Well, that feeling won’t subside before… well, you know, when you finally give birth. For the time being, you’ve got yourself a baby in the business of collecting fat and lots of it! In spite of the dubious joys of being a human-barn, this baby fat business is very serious and you’ve got to put up with it because it’s going to keep your little porker warm and healthy after birth. Other good stuff from inside: their eyes are doing lots of blinking this week because they’re now able to respond to light and dark. Also, their industrious little bone marrow is now a major construction site for developing red blood cells, while their super-cute adrenal glands are actually producing androgen and estrogen—which will stimulate your hormones to begin milk production. Can you say, “Moo?”


We are in the final trimester and she is kicking all the time now! Our next doctors appointment is on November 11th not this tuesday but next tuesday!!! things have been great lately! I can feel myself loosing a little energy already but not bad yet! hopefully I will be able to keep up some energy for a little while longer! I have become more and more obsest with fruits... Any and all fruits... we have about 12 weeks left till Ava's Due date and we can't wait!!! We want to see her so bad!!!
