I officially hit 28 weeks! This is a huge, huge milestone. Every four weeks is one step closer to a happy, healthy Yoda bear. My doctors are very happy with the progress of the pregnancy and namely, how the cerclage has been holding up. The next big milestone is 32 weeks. Whew! Let’s hope it’s a quick four weeks!
Let’s check to see how Mr. Yoda is doing. According to babygaga.com:
You know how you’ve been feeling like a whale with legs?
To state the obvious, that feeling isn’t going anywhere until you finally get down to the hard work (aka labor) of evicting your womb-squatter.
For the time being, your little genius is in the fat collection business!
Despite being a bipedal whale, this fetal fat collection stuff is serious business, and you’ve got to put up with it because it’s going to keep your little porker warm and healthy after birth, since their brain will be unable to regulate their tiny baby-body’s temperature.
Other good stuff from inside the womb: your little explorer’s eyes are doing lots of blinking this week because they’re now responding to light and dark!
And in life-critical physical developments: your champ’s tiny industrious bone marrow is now a major construction site for blood cells, while their super-cute adrenal glands are actually producing androgen and estrogen — which will stimulate your body to begin milk production.
Say “Moo”!

I can fully attest I have a waddle. Well, I don’t think it’s a waddle. Waddles aren’t sexy.
And what size is Mr. Yoda?
He’s an eggplant!
