week 28

baby measures about 10 inches from crown to rump and weighs about 2 and a half pounds.

busy baby is growing and developing at top speed. lungs are capable of breathing air, but if baby was born now, baby would find it hard to breathe properly. baby will enjoy hearing my voice now so i guess i should keep talking... :). next week i officially enter the 3rd trimester.... my goodness how time flies. baby's main job will be to put on weight. (and as for mom... lol... indulge!!)

in baby boys, the testes are beginning their decent into the scrotum by this point. in baby girls, the labia are still small and don't yet cover the clitoris. the labia will grow closer together in the last few weeks of pregnancy.

it's amazing how far along baby has come. we're still hoping for just a healthy baby, sex doesn't matter. baby is moving like crazy, responds not only to my voice, but adam's and brooke's too! i play games with baby... usually at night, while im relaxing, laying in bed... i'll tap on my tummy, and baby will kick back. i love it!

It sounds like you are growing a healthy happy baby. Isn't it amazing that you can grow a human being inside of you! I still can't really get my head around that. Are you suffering in the heat. I bet your glad that it's cooled off a bit. Won't be long now.
