28 Weeks Today ~

This is it -- the home stretch! You've now officially entered the third and final trimester. But here's the biggie development news this week: After being sealed shut for many months, your baby's eyes will begin to open and close this week. Even if you could peek at the color of his peepers now though, they might not stay that color, as baby's eyes can change up until he's 6 months to a year old (especially if your little guy is born with baby blues).
He's also probably banging around like mad in there -- except when he's sleeping. Yep, your baby is snoozing on a regular schedule, but in very short spurts (only about 20 to 30 minutes at a time). Right now he weighs roughly 2.5 pounds and measures a little over 15 inches from head to toe.

He has been very active today. Tonight should be interesting. He has been pretty laid back the past couple of days. He's like that when I am busy.

We also cleared out his room this week. There are just a few big items left, but after that we should be ready to pick a paint color. Our spare bedroom has become the staging area for all of his things. We just keep adding to it. I did buy some baby detergent the other day, I have gotten the urge to start washing some of his things now so I'm not so overwhelmed later. I was very excited to find that ALL makes a baby detergent (that's what we use, so I wanted to try and stay in the same detergent family). I finally found it at our Hy-Vee.
