How our baby's growing:
Our baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. Her muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and her head is growing bigger to make room for her developing brain. And because her bones are soaking up lots of calcium, mommy needs to be sure to drink milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice--does ice cream count :) ). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in our baby's hardening skeleton each day.

Week 28
How's our baby's growing:
By this week, our 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.
At the 28 week appointment last Friday, Dr. Roles confirmed her heart rate sounds great! I can certainly feel her moving around an awful lot these days. However, when I call for daddy to come and feel she suddenly stops! It must be that she is calmed by him being near ??

NAMES?
So we are having one heck of a time with finding a name for our daugther. We welcome any and all ideas!! Be creative :)
Starting Off...
Well this is our first post so bear with us! We decided to start this now and get a jump start and hopefully we can keep up with blogging once the little one arrives!
We have finished up the nursery and just a week or so ago managed to put together the crib, changing table and dresser. Now we just need to move on to the wall decor and filling up the dresser with cute clothes! I'm sure that won't be all that hard :)
My goal is to post at least once a week for now (unless something comes up in between). Just to keep you updated on how our little one is growing inside, how mommy and daddy-to-be are doing and so on. Once she arrives, I'm sure I will be posting more and uploading pictures for all to see!
We can't wait for our little one to arrive and for all of you to meet her! We hope that all of you are doing well --
Love,
The Bailey's
