Like a Chinese Cabbage

Jay doesn't get much time on the blog -- yet -- but I had to share this from my weekly updates. Without them, there is no way I'd remember how many weeks I am. Quite a change from my first pregnancy where I probably could have told you down to the week and day!

Today I am at 28 weeks, which sounds crazy when I think that means there are only 11-12 weeks left! Did you know that at 28 weeks, babies are the size of a Chinese Cabbage? Cracked up when I read that.

28 Weeks: Your baby is equal in weight to a Chinese cabbage -- about 2 1/4 pounds.

(Length: almost 15 inches, from head to heel.)

No other Jay updates really. I had a checkup yesterday and things are right on track. Very grateful for a routine and seemingly easy pregnancy. We are thinking c-section December 10 maybe. He moves so much more than we remember Kirkley moving. We hope that isn't a sign that he's going to be a wild child! :)

We talked in Bible study this morning about how amazing God is that He has created us down to every last detail. When I read the updates about Jay, I am just in awe at God's handiwork and how He doesn't miss a single thing:
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.

"For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
Psalm 139:13-14
