Week 28!

Yay - week 28! It is really hard to wait this long for something so exciting... I am not good at being patient apparently. Well, that's not actually a surprise. But I guess this is kind of like the excitement building before Christmas - I get all hyped and try to get Jamie to drop hints about my presents, but really I would never actually want to know what they are! It's kind of like that with PJs now - I really, really want to meet him (like now!) but I don't really want to miss the next 12 weeks or so. Plus I suppose I should enjoy my nights without crying and days without baby poop?

What PJs is up to this week:

Your baby is about 14 ¼ inches long and weighs in at 2 ½ pounds. This still seems very small, but remember that during the last several weeks of pregnancy your baby will gain a significant amount of weight.

Your baby’s brain is really beginning to develop into a more complex organ. Up until this point, your baby’s brain has been relatively smooth, but beginning this week his/her brain will develop grooves and indentions along its surface. The amount of brain tissue also begins to increase during the 28th week.

The development of hair also continues. Eyebrows and eyelashes are visible, while the hair on your baby’s head grows even longer. Your baby is also starting to look a little rounder as the fat storage under the skin continues to develop. This is an important part of development that will continue through the remainder of your pregnancy.
