Your Baby's Growth and Development

Up until now if you were to look at your baby's brain during your pregnancy week by week it would appear smooth. By about 28 weeks pregnant however this changes, as the brain starts to mature and form grooves that we commonly associate with a human brain. Your baby may also be growing longer hair on her head by pregnancy at 28 weeks, though many babies will come out bald at birth. Others will be born with lovely locks of hair that will fall out and even change color some time after delivery.

Your baby should also be sprouting eyelashes by pregnancy 28 weeks, which will blink repeatedly if you were to shine a bright light on your belly.

I think I am going to try that last line. Just sounds fun.

Super Charissa has finished the crib skirt, whatever that is, and has now completed all her nursery tasks. She now turns her attention on the house itself. (Poor house). I am still working on refinishing the rocking chair. Which is a funny story in and of itself.

I am outside in the garage. I have a TV to watch sports. Some drinks. And cool weather to enjoy. The challenge: Chemicals for the rocker. This gooey substance, approved to sell, recommended by the people at Home Depot actually says "This chemical has been shown to cause cancer in our studies with rats. Please be careful". So me, half high on fumes, and freaking out everytime a piece of hair falls out, laborously works on the rocking chair. I am 80% complete with the stripping, not me the chair, and should move on to staining in December. Its a fun mix of total fear and statifing work. Mostly fear though. I will let you all know how the tests come out afterward.
