28 Weeks

My baby has reached the magical mark of 28 weeks. The proportion of head to body is correct and if he were to be born now, he would be completely developed except for the extra fat that keeps him warm outside of the womb. That does not mean that all of his organs are working that well. It is also not very pleasant for him to have to trade in his warm nest for that scary incubator. He is still really small and vulnerable: he's just over a foot long (35 centimeters) and he weighs approximately 2 lbs. (900 grams). For this reason, it's better if he stays nicely in your abdomen for now so that he can grow further. although my big fat boofer is the size of a 31 week old - it's going to be a big one!!!!!!!!
