By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of his head to his heels. He can blink his eyes, which now sport lashes. With his eyesight developing, he may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. He's also developing billions of neurons in his brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
As for me, I found out Friday that I failed my 1 hour glucose tolerance test (slightly elevated numbers) so I have to take the 3 hour test. I really was kind of surprised that I failed so I'm a little mad. I'm positive I will pass the 3 hour test, thinking positive here! So on Tuesday I'll be sitting in the doctor's office for 4 hours with no food :(. I'll bring my laptop so I can do some work.
Friday I'll have my next appointment since I go every two weeks now. Saturday we're having maternity pics! I'm very very excited! We're getting an amazing deal, a friend who has started a photography business is doing them, she charges very little because she does it as her passion and she does good work! I can't wait to see how they turn out. A lot of people suggest doing them later (I'll be 29.5 weeks) but I didn't want to take the chance of being too uncomfortable, unhappy with my looks, too much colder, etc so we're doing them now. I should get the proofs back the first week of January so I'll definitely share them!
Here are my pictures for this week. NOW, note that I had just woken up from a nap after work when we took them so I look terrible!
