Stats: Week 28

Hello Friends & Family--

We are onto the THIRD and FINAL trimester! Wahoo! I certainly can't believe that 7 months have past that's for sure! About 3 more months and he'll be here! I'm sure the time will go fast with showers and prepping for the baby's arrival. We will start our classes on Wednesday and they'll run into March. I know Chris is a little relieved that he'll have some expert advice. I'll have to update on that once we've had a few classes under our belts.

The nursery hasn't seen much progress over the last few weeks. The glider we ordered is supposed to deliver this week and then hopefully we can find a rug to match. Rumor has it that with this new storm coming through, I may have Tuesday & Wednesday off so maybe I'll get some quality time to work on the nursery then! Never thought I'd be so eager for 10-20" of snow, haha! For all of you in the Midwest I'm sure you are bracing yourselves for the same storm--STAY WARM!

Here's where we stand at 28 weeks:



Your Pregnancy: Week 28

Sprung a leak? Those thick, yellow drips (called colostrum), are the precursor to breast milk. Try a pair of cotton breast pads and make sure to change them whenever they get damp to avoid the dreaded chafe. Still milk-free? That's normal too -- some women just don't leak.

Baby's now the size of an eggplant!Baby's lungs are mature enough that, if born right now, she has a pretty good chance of surviving (with help from medical technology). Her skin is still pretty wrinkly (one byproduct of living in amniotic fluid) but will smoothen as fat continues to deposit.









Love,

Chris, Amber & Baby Z
