Topic request: size, growth and developments

I've received a special request to update on little Betz' specs. I've been lax in doing so; my apologies. Here we go:
  • We are at 28 weeks, 3 days of the pregnancy -- hooray for third trimester.
  • She's about 15" long from top of the head to tip of the toes.
  • Baby weighs in at about a whopping 2-1/4 lbs., a.ka. she is a Chinese cabbage:
  • Her eyes are open (blinking) and she's got eyelashes. She can actually see light, so I'm sure we'll start playing with a flashlight-to-the-belly soon.
  • She's very active at regular intervals, mostly mid-morning (between 9-10 a.m.) and late afternoon (4-5 p.m.). She gets frisky in the evenings (8-10 p.m.), but seems to like to kick and push more inwardly (back towards my spine and using my liver as a punching bag) than outwardly.
  • She more or less looks like this:

To quote you "wow, you have popped". Can't wait to see you in person next week. Thanks for the update on her size, etc. The action from 4 pm to 10 pm is just a little practice for when she adds her voice to the activity in a couple of months!!! Love, Granny J
