Sleep: Doing ok, got a few days off to relax, very nice!

Best moment of the week: Sunday, daddy got to see baby move!  He couldn't feel her yet, but he watched her move across my tummy.  He would tap in one spot, and she would move to that spot!  It was awesome!  She is now showing daddy some love...one day he might feel her!

Your baby's the size of an acorn squash!

Baby already measures about 15.2 to 16.7 inches long. Right now, we weighs about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds but he's still got a ways to go -- can you believe he'll triple in weight before birth?

your baby at 29 weeks

• He's getting a little cramped in there, since he's growing so fast. But you probably already realize that, since you're getting all those jabs and kicks.
• He's growing white fat deposits under his skin, and his energy is surging because of it.
• Feel a subtle twitch? It might be baby hiccuping.

your baby at 28 weeks

• She's starting to develop more fat, so her wrinkly skin will start to get smoother.

Your baby's the size of a head of lettuce!

She's still growing in the 13.6- to 14.8-inch and 1.5- to 2.5-pound range, and developing her senses, features and talents!

your baby at 26 weeks

• Her eyes are forming, and his eyes will soon start to open.
• And her eyelashes are now grown, too.
• She's getting her immune system ready for life on the outside by soaking up your antibodies.
• She's taking breaths, too. They're of amniotic fluid, not air, but it's still good practice.
