28 Weeks:
By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) (what the heck is a chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
See what your baby looks like this week.

I also need to start counting kicks this week.... crazyness.
--------------------------------------
It's hard to believe how big I am already. I gained a lot of weight in the 6th month, which was a little hard to accept. I had a doctors appointment today and everything was good - the baby actually had hiccups when she was listening for the heart rate! So cute, and the first time I've heard that. And ... I PASSED MY GLUCOSE TEST - I DO NOT have gestational diabetes. That was great news! I still am going to try to watch my sweet stuff, it is certainly my weakness!! :-) I had her examine the area where I'm having the pain and burning below my bra and over my ribs on the left side. Really still no explanation for that. Bah. I really really hope that it starts to let up soon, if anything it's been getting worse. I was wrapping presents last night in some serious pain.
Here's the belly at 28 weeks. so big already... of course sometimes I look way huger depending on how I stand too. I'm so excited!! Been rocking her in the rocker at night. It's very surreal.

You look so cute, Rachel! Glad to hear you got some good news this week about your glucose test. It's good to hear a more positive report. Are you seriously in your third trimester already? I'm so excited for you guys! :)
You look so beautiful!!! I cannot wait till our little one starts kicking. It must be an amazing feeling!
awe when you said you were rocking her i almost cried! haha :)
haha I normally won't post 'old wives tales' but I've always heard burning like that means you are having a girl because of all the hair! LOL
I love checking in on your blog. You need to print these pages and save them. What memories!
Hey Rach!
You have such an adorable baby belly! Congrats on the glucose test!!! What a relief to not have to constantly monitor something else :)
I was having similar burning, and it let up a lot once Aaron started dropping... I'm going to hope the same for you!! Except mine was on the right side, not the left :)
Enjoy your third trimester!!!!
