28 Weeks

By this week, Adam weighs two and a quarter punds and measures 14.8 inches from the top of his head to his heels. He can blink his eyes, which now sport lashes. With his eyesight developing, he may be able to see the light that filters in through my womb. He's also developing billions of neurons in his brain and adding more body fat in preperation for life in the outside world.

I have my next OB appointment on Thursday where I will have my Glucose Screening. Hopefully I pass this one so that I do not have to do the 3 hour test. My poor sister had to do that one when she was pregnant with my nephew and it didn't sound fun at all. I decided to just take the day off (we have 3 mandatory days without pay that we just found out about last week), so I figure I'll just use one of those and take it easy the rest of the day. Plus I can spend a little extra time with Bob then since he is travelling Thursday-Monday every week and I feel like we don't get to see much of each other anymore. Just Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights and lately by the time I get home from work I am just beat and all I want to do is veg in front of the TV and go to bed early. He has this schedule all the way until December :( So still 2 more months of this, but at least it's a job and it could be worse - most of the times when he is on a tour for something he doesn't get to come home at all.

Most everyone that has seen the 3D pictures of Adam all think that he looks like me (or at least my side of the family)! I really can't tell though - all I know is that I don't care who he looks like I am so madly in love with him. I printed out one of the pictures and have it hanging in my cubicle at work and I have to admit I spend A LOT of time just staring at it throughout the day! (Good thing I am not busy at work at all right now). I can't believe he is inside of me and he is made of both Bob and I - really how can anyone question that children are not the greatest miracle from God!

Dear God,
Everytime I look at the picture of my beautiful son I am just reminded of how amazing you truly are! Thank you so much for blessing us with this special miracle!
Love,
Alicia & Bob

Dear Adam,
Has Mommy told you lately how much I love you?! I have never felt so in love with someone in my entire life! You are Mommy and Daddy's miracle and we can't wait for you to be here in our arms.
We Love You So Much Adam!
Mommy & Daddy
