Third Trimester

Lindsay is officially in her third trimester. She took the grueling three hour gestational diabetes test last week. The test results were negative. Alec is still really active and we can see him move through Lindsay's clothes. We just got back from our childbirth class. Tonight we learned about medications and how they affect the mother and the baby. Great class!

At 28 weeks, Alec weighs a little over 2 pounds and measures about 14.8 inches from the top of his head to his heels. He can open his eyes — which now sport lashes — and he'll turn his head toward a continuous, bright light from the outside. His fat layers are beginning to form, too, as he gets ready for life outside the womb.
