28 weeks pregnant ...

OMG laughing and joking we made it to 28 weeks... only 10ish to go
we are really overdue for a picture and to be honest today after a girl at work declared I am as big as a blue whale i looked at my tummy reflection in a bathroom mirror and
HELP
it looks enormous
I did not even notice it got this big.... granted the skin is tight and itchy, but still no linea nigra and still no stretch marks (Thank you Bio oil)
a quick look at my weekly update tells me that this week:

Your baby can now open her eyes and will turn her head towards the source of a continuous bright light. Her fingernails are budding, and fat layers are beginning to form as she gets ready for life outside your uterus.
You may notice about now that your baby moves around a lot more when you have a bath or shower. She's responding to the light and noise.
Your baby weighs a little more than 1kg and may measure up to 38cm from top to toe.
She's getting used to blinking her eyes, which now have eyelashes.
Her fat layers are continuing to form and her bones are nearly developed, though they are still soft and pliable. Her bones won’t harden properly until after she's born.

But the scariest thing is:

Your breasts may begin to produce colostrum, the concentrated early milk, so don't be surprised if they leak a little. Leaking is perfectly normal and won't affect how much colostrum you produce when your baby is born. 
Keep tuned for leaky breasts then
:P

  2. Yes, picture please!

    Also, my stretchmarks didn't show up until the last few weeks. So annoying when you think you've gone all the way without!
