Week 28

Baby says:
This week I am a rutabaga!

 "My lungs are now developed, so I could breathe outside if I had to at this point. But I think I'll stay in here for now. Nice and cozy."


It's amazing how fast she is growing! She now weighs 3 lbs! You can tell how much she's grown from the outside as well. It now looks like I've swallowed a beach ball as opposed to a volleyball.

This week marks the beginning of my third trimester. I can't believe we're here already. On the one hand, I feel like I've been pregnant forever. On the other hand, I hardly feel prepared for Miss Sofia's arrival. I don't really have space to start a nursery for her, so right now she has a shelf where her things are collecting. I've had a lot of free time lately, so I've been updating her registry. It's amazing how with all of the checklists and resources out there, I still don't have a firm idea of what she will actually need. Then, once you decide what you really need, you have to do research on it to make sure you get the right one. It's a workout!
In addition to the registry, I've also been working on her hand-made projects. I have started her blanket, although I ended up changing the blue to a gold color. It just seemed to go better.

I also had some time to whip up this little gal.

P.S. When I told Mani that our baby was now the size of a rutabaga, he was extremely puzzled, "What is that? Can you eat it?" I realized that I have never actually seen a rutabaga in person before and had previously only thought of it as a funny word, not an actual vegetable.
