28 weeks. Hello 3rd trimester!!

WOW. Just want to say.. I can't believe I'm entering my third trimester. I remember when it seemed so far away. This is going by so fast. In just 3 months, I'll have a little baby boy in my arms. This is still so surreal to me! His kicks are getting stronger lately. I'm also feeling a bit more fatigued. Well, today is off to a great start, though.. I got cancelled from work! :) So today I can work on things that need to get done (like my baby registry!)

According to babycenter.com:
By this week, your baby weighs 2 1/4 pounds (about the size of a large eggplant) 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.

Baby is the size of an eggplant:
