Week 28 begins

This week, your amazing baby has reached 2.5 pounds and may be almost 16 inches long. Baby's skill of the week: blinking. Yes, along with the other tricks in a growing repertoire that already includes coughing, sucking, hiccuping, and taking practice breathes, your baby can now blink those sweet little eyes. Dreaming about your baby? Baby may be dreaming, you, too, courtesy of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep that he or she has already started getting. But this little dreamer isn't ready for birth day just yet. Though his or her lungs are nearly fully mature by now (making it easier for your baby - and you - to breath a little easier if he or she were born now), your baby still has a lot of growing to do.
