28 Week Update

Your baby has reached the magical mark of 28 weeks. This is it -- the home stretch! You've now officially entered the third and final trimester. The proportion of head to body is correct and if he were to be born now, he would be completely developed except for the extra fat that keeps him warm outside of the womb.

The skeleton of your baby is changing. The cartilage is slowly ossifying into firm bones. The ossification continues until his birth. The skull bones remain the softest so that the skull can compress enough to slip gently through the pelvis and birth canal. She's also probably banging around like mad in there -- except when she's sleeping. Yep, your baby is snoozing on a regular schedule, but in very short spurts (only about 20 to 30 minutes at a time). Right now she weighs roughly 2.5 pounds and measures a little over 15 inches from head to toe.


Baby Makayla is amazing although she is already getting in trouble. She likes to kick right behind mommys ribs. Oh boy is this a sign of what she will be like for the next 3 months lol.
