Jordan & I are in week 28 now. Apparently Jordan’s lungs are really starting to develop because we’ve been experiencing hiccups once or twice a day. The other night when we were going to bed it started so I suggested Dad feel them. He had a hard time believing our little one is actually big enough to be experiencing real hiccups 🙂 ! We are both so amazed at how a little baby can be growing inside of me! All of the muscles are growing steadily now though. In addition to those little stomach muscles allowing for hiccuping, the sucking and swallowing skills have improved with stronger muscles and, tiny arm & hand muscles, legs & all the rest are all bulking up. I can always tell now when baby is asleep or awake as there is quite a bit of exercise going on in there all the time! Also this week, the little eyelids will unfuse and open partially and by the middle of the week, there will be little eyelashes present. So cute! Our baby gained quit a bit of weight and is now 14 inches long and 2.22 pounds. Everything’s going great and we’re almost all ready for the advent 🙂
