28 Weeks!

Baby my oh my!  It is officially 28 weeks that you have been in my tummy and you are becoming more active than ever.  This week you taught me a valuable lesson that I want you to know and always hold dear to your heart.  Ever since I have been able to feel you move inside of me I feel so happy, excited and comforted to know that you are happy healthy and growing in there.  For the past two weeks I was worried because lots of times I wouldn't feel you move as much and this worried me a lot, so I said a prayer the other day that I would be able to always be aware of your movements.  I have felt your movements a lot but I have had to be consciously aware and not be too busy to be notice them.
  Last night I woke up and flipped over after drinking some cold cold water to see if I could feel you move and I did, they were lighter movements than others but you were definitely in there and doing fine.  And suddenly I had an Aha! moment.  Your movements are such a comfort to me that I became  comfortable and used to what you were doing and I realized that this is a lot like the Holy Ghost.  I know sometimes because I have had the blessing to have it constantly with me that sometimes I take the presence for granted and not always allow myself to be constantly in tune or recognizing the spirit and what it could be telling me to do.  So this week I am going to pray and try to actively and constantly be quiet enough to listen and hear what the Holy Ghost is trying to tell me.  So thank you baby for the lesson you taught me :)

Some fun facts about you this week:

• You are the size of a rutabaga and should still weigh about 2.2 pounds
• Your lungs produce surfactant, which is a detergent like substance that helps the lungs inflate rather than collapse.
• Your brain that used to be smooth is now getting wrinkly... I think this means your brain is getting more complex and allows your thinking to become more sophisticated
• Baby likes to play shy shy when ever I try to get anyone to touch my tummy when you are being active you will stop and play shy.  Sometimes it drives me crazy because I want to share my excitement with family but silly silly you always stop.  
• You like to sit really low still and press against my bladder, it feels like you are tickling me on the inside it feels so weird :)
