roo-2: 28 weeks

3rd trimester starts today! wow! this pregnancy has flown by. i did get the bassinet i have been after off of craigslist this week - woo hoo! now i just have to re-assemble it. i swear i could have gotten it in to the jetta without taking it apart, but the lady i bought it from wouldn't let pregnant old me carry the thing and insisted on helping me. so it ended up getting taken apart. oh well, it will be a fun project. also this week i have started the "everything i need to do before the baby comes" addendum to my to-do list. this includes things like getting the infant carrier and bases installed in our cars, taking out and washing the 0-3 month clothes, etc.

By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like 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.
