Week 28: Third Trimester Starts

See the big picture

How your baby's growing:

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.

See what your baby looks like this week. (Or see what fraternal twins look like in the womb this week.)

Week 27-Ending trimester #2 with a "neigh....."

That's right folks! I rode a horse for the first time (seven months pregnant). Here is the video. Thanks Driscoll's for the opportunity (especially Paige for leading the horse) and thank you Brownie for not killing me! BFF! Shout out to Sasha for her camera work:)

Baby Kicks

Watch The Adventures of Baby Ninja. She's kicking and punching, and fighting off bad guys in this epic tale of love, life, and the search for her greatest discovery yet, more room in the womb. Filled with action and heart felt moments, Baby Ninja leaves you wanting more, her strength is inspiring, her plight is just, and she's just so darn cute. Coming in full 3D this summer, this is one you don't want to miss.

Week 27

See the big picture

How your baby's growing:

This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.

Week 25- Prenatal Yoga

Prenatal yoga, as described by the website can help you:

"Appreciate and enjoy the benefits of yoga in the company of other expectant women. Through a variety of stretching and toning exercises, you'll increase your energy level, relieve tension, and promote deep relaxation. Breathe, relax, and be refreshed!"

So far, its been pretty close to that. I thought I would hate the slow pace but I've come to enjoy it. particulary the silence! But its not walk in the park. My heart rate gets going, my arms get a workout, and I get an awesome stretch. So far Ive only been to a few classes, so at the end of the 4 weeks, I will write an update to see if I feel the same way.....Namaste

Peace
Not Not the Mama
