Pregnancy: Week 28

A day late but here is this week's update.  The first week of the third trimester has gone well.  Baby girl is now 2 1/4 pounds, or the size of a chinese cabbage, and 14.8 inches in length.  This week she began to blink her eyes and may be sensitive to light on the outside.  There is also a lot of growth happening in her brain and she is working on plumping up. 

I am still feeling good and I went to the doctor this week again.  I had to do the glucose tolerance test but I felt fine and should have my results next week.  The doctor said I continue to measure on target for my due date and we got to hear baby girl's heartbeat, which is strong.  I am managing to work out, although I only went three times this week due to Labor Day.  Our little peanut is still moving around a lot, especially after dinner, and I can now see my stomach move consistently as well as feel it. 

We picked up a bookcase for the nursery at Ikea and I managed to put it together today:

More pictures to come when it is actually where it belongs in the room.  Plus, I got some material for a craft project for the nursery too...I will share when I actually have some progress, but here is the lovely fabric for now:

That is all the news for now--time is flying and we have a lot to do before this little one actually shows up!
