We're in the home stretch...

Twelve weeks to go and we can't wait!

By this week (28), all the websites and books say our baby weighs nearly a little more than 1kg and may measure 37.6cm from top to toe. However, judging by the measuring at the last scan, I'm not entirely sure this is accurate for our child who was about 150/200g out of the average at week 24. At least we know eating won't be a problem for them! Also about this time, not so little Flump can open their eyes and turn their head in the uterus if they notice a continuous, bright light shining from the outside. The irises don't have any pigment yet, they're a slate grey. Job this week? To shine a torch onto my tummy and see what movements happen then!

Fat layers are forming nicely which will help the skin to lose its old person appearance. The bones are nearly developed, though they are still soft and pliable – they won’t harden properly until after birth.

Also, baby's fingernails are starting to form and eyebrows and eyelashes are now complete!

We are thrilled with the incredible development that Baby Stevens is undertaking and we will really miss the feeling of the solid thumping they're giving mummy right now...it's so precious, fills us with pride at the strength of our little one and currently fills our evenings with so many giggles. But it will be sooo much better having them here so we can give our little one many, many smooshes and cuddles!
