28 weeks

our sweet kitten is now the size of an eggplant.  she should be somewhere around 15 inches long at this point, but the most exciting development this week is that she has eyelashes!  she can also blink and see light and her brain is developing like crazy.  somehow, the eyelash part is what excites me the most, though.

my belly button remains deeper than most people's pre-pregnancy navels, but it's spread out and wrinkly.  i know i have a long way to go but so far i still haven't gotten any stretch marks.  when i lie on my back and crunch up, i get this weird bump in between my formerly awesome upper abs.  colby made a horrified face when he saw it and i was equally weirded out.  i hope that all goes back to normal!

in other news, my grandma's health and desire to live have taken a turn for the worse.  she misses grandpa so much and one can only read the harry potter series so many times and watch every episode of rizzoli and isles before it becomes pointless to get out of bed and struggle to the living room every day.  when i was there a few months ago she said to come back with the baby, but i don't think she'll make it that long, and i'm not sure she intended to when she said it.  i love that the middle name we've chosen honors grandpa and grandma's names (emery and mary) and it also contains "amor" which means love.  colby didn't even choose it for that reason, but it's perfect.
