28 week update

Dear precious baby girl,
The last two weeks have been SUPER busy for your daddy and me. Your daddy was out of town for a week for his work, and then I was in Boston for a week for my work, so we haven't had much time to post updates.

You are 28 weeks old now, can you believe it? That means that you're about 15 inches long, and weigh about 2 1/2 pounds already! Your brain is growing leaps and bounds, you can now open your eyes and see what's around you, and all of your features are now fully developed. From here on out, most of what you'll be doing is putting on some fat and growing a few more inches. We are officially in the third trimester now, which we almost can't believe!

My belly is getting much bigger this week- check it out:























The strangest thing for me right now is that in addition to feeling you kicking, I can now feel you wiggling around inside my tummy! If your daddy puts his hand on my belly, it feels like a little golf ball rolling around. It's incredible to me that you're getting so big that we can feel you actually MOVING, instead of just kicking. It is such a bizarre feeling inside my tummy when you do that, but so neat at the same time.

Today is father's day, and I just want to let you know that you have such an amazing daddy. I cannot wait for you to meet him, and he is SO exited to meet you too! Every day, he talks to you and kisses my belly, telling you how much he already loves you. I am really looking forward to sharing parenthood with him, because he is incredible in so many ways: he is kind, patient, intellectual, loving, and honest. These are just some of the qualities that I hope you inherit from him. You are so lucky to have him as your daddy.

Love, Mama
