Joaquin is 28 weeks today and still about the size of a large eggplant. He's busy adding new skills such as blinking to an already impressive repertoire of tricks like coughing, sucking, hiccuping, and taking practice breaths. His sleep now includes the REM (rapid eye movement) phase — and that means he could be dreaming already. Though his lungs are nearly fully mature, he still has plenty of growing to do.
How far along? 28 weeks
Weight gain/loss: I might just stick with 27 pounds from here on out.
Sleep? I'd love a little more.
Best moment this week? Seeing our little guy this morning was amazing. I was so happy to see he is healthy and growing. The pictures are just too cute for words.
Movement: Now I know that what I keep feeling is Joaquin rotating his butt from side to side throughout the day. I could not tell if it was his head or butt before.
Food cravings: Mango.
Belly button in or out? Out.
What I miss? A margarita sounds amazing!
What I am looking forward to? Baby shower #2 on Saturday will be fun and relaxing!
Milestones: Joaquin is already head down - this is a great sign!
What I'm nervous about:Getting work done before we leave for Spain.
