Baby at 2.5 lbs and growing

This just in from americanpregnancy.org : baby is about 14 ¼ inches long and weighs in at 2 ½ pounds.

They go on: "your baby's brain is really beginning to develop into a more complex organ. Up until this point, your baby's brain has been relatively smooth, but beginning this week his/her brain will develop grooves and indentions along its surface. The amount of brain tissue also begins to increase during the 28th week. The development of hair also continues. Eyebrows and eyelashes are visible, while the hair on your baby's head grows even longer. Your baby is also starting to look a little rounder as the fat storage under the skin continues to develop."

Here's to fat babies with healthy, wrinkly brains! Beth had another doctor's appointment today and all is well. We are feeling very lucky at this point.

And thanks to the Garrens for our first baby present, which Ben was so happy to model for you all.
Who knows, perhaps we'll all start sporting the bib and burp cloth come this summer.

Moon Pie says baby bibs will look good with nice beer stain. Good way to break them in, Dad!
