Week 28: Why, you look positively bovine!
Fetal development in pregnancy week 28:fetus in seventh month You know how you’ve been feeling a bit like a barn with legs some days? 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 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?”

Alright so we are now in our 28th week, another week closer to seeing our baby girl.
As we speak she is doing a number on my ribs, playing a musical instrument or something. I have finally figured out the way our baby is positioned. She is head down and feet up by my right ribs, kind of diagonal. She got the hiccups yesterday which was really neat, and it let me know exactly where her head was. She has been in this position for a month or so now. She kicks more and more every day. The other night Stephen and I were watching my tummy and she was doing a number in there....it was awesome, my belly was really taking off. I have yet to feel anything hard, like a foot (except for that one time) but i'm hoping that soon she will start showing me more. She is very energetic, it's really neat sometimes.
That's the upside, the downside is my ribs hurt especially when I sit, and my right hip spases out sometimes, i'm still pretty much really tired, and feel like i'm getting more and more tired as the days go by. But thinking about having this baby in 12 weeks makes me smile!! It's worth it, but it sure is hard in the process of cooking this baby. But I believe I wouldn't trade it for the world. When I get home tonight I'll add a belly picture to this email, so keep watching! You will be surprised how I have grown. Although I have gotten many people who have said I look really good for being 28 weeks, and that I'm more wide (how nice I know) and not that big around......oh well, I guess everyone grows differently.
Well you have a great day, and if you are interested belly pictures will follow. ha
