28 weeks and 84 days left!!!

So they say a pregnant woman are more susceptible to catching even the common cold and it seems I hit the jackpot in that category this past Saturday when I came down with a really deep cough in my chest...I hit the prescribed meds and rested the entire weekend.  Doc says it's going around and I just have to let it take its course...either way it is not fun!!!

I took the glucose test (by the way the drink was not bad and was gone in no time - of course it helped that I woke up that morning with a sore throat) yesterday and hope to not hear from the doc today (that would be good news).

On to the weekly emails -

From the bump:
Baby's now the size of an eggplant!
Baby's lungs are mature enough that, if born right now, she has a pretty good chance of surviving (with help from medical technology). Her skin is still pretty wrinkly (one byproduct of living in amniotic fluid) but will smoothen as fat continues to deposit. Baby, fetus at 28 weeks - BabyCenter


From baby center:
By this week, your 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.
