How big is Caitlin?
Caitlin is about 14 ¼ inches long and weighs in at 2 ½ pounds. This still seems very small, but remember that during the last several weeks of my pregnancy she will gain a significant amount of weight.
What is happening with Caitlin?
Her brain is really beginning to develop into a more complex organ. Up until this point, Caitlin's brain has been relatively smooth, but beginning this week 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. Caitlin is also starting to look a little rounder as the fat storage under the skin continues to develop. This is an important part of development that will continue through the remainder of my pregnancy.
