Baby Update 28 weeks

Jenny had her doctor visit yesterday, everything is going great. She is right on track with everything. We are now moving to Doctor visits every 2 weeks and we start child birthing class in 2 weeks...we will meet once a week for 7 weeks!

Here is a summary of what should be going on during this 28th week:

Baby:

Our baby measures about 9.6 inches (24.4cm) from crown to rump and weighs a little more than 2 pounds (907g). Hands are active and muscle coordination is such that he can get his thumb into his mouth. Thumb-sucking calms the baby and strengthens his cheek and jaw muscles. He also can cry now.

Jenny:

Has a stretch mark as her uterus continues to expand (see below the beautiful expanded uterus). Most women have gained about 16 (7.3kg) to 22 pounds (10kg) by now, Jenny has gained 16 at this point. Balance and mobility is changing.

We did some tests on our Son's reactions to light and sound last night. We played a few different songs which he really didn't react much to...but then I played one song that was the sound of soothing waterfalls and he immediately reacted! He actually reacted every time we played it! We then put a small pen light on Jenny's belly in different spots...he moved at the spots with light!!! It was so neat! We were both really excited at his reactions! 

We have a first name picked out by the way...just working on the middle now!

Not going to give out the name just yet...
