We are officially ending the second trimester and beginning the third! Yeah for getting closer to meeting Baby Emmel!!
During the 27th and 28th weeks, the baby's lungs, liver, and immune systems are continuing to mature. Baby Emmel has probably tripled in length from week 12! He or she weighs between 2 and 3 pounds. The baby's eyes are beginning to open and close. He or she is sleeping for about 20 or 30 minutes at a time.
We will be going back to the doctor on Tuesday, January 13th for a check up and some testing. The doctor has put me on bed rest until Baby Emmel arrives, so right now, we are heading to the doctor about once a week still.
On Tuesday, we will have a standard gestational diabetes screening. The doctor will also be looking more into my blood type. I am Rh negative and will need to have an injection to protect myself and the baby in case he or she is Rh positive. From what the doctor said last week, this is a pretty common pregnancy issue. We'll learn more on Tuesday!

Congrats on the 3rd trimester crossover.
Lydia was Rh negative too.
Did you know that if Brad is Rh (-), you don't need the shot?
Tell that handsome husband of yours I said hello.
Hey Jenn!
This is Jemma and Lyndsey, and we hope you and Brad are doing well and the baby too!
Lyndsey says that she guesses it's a boy. But she'll be happy with a little boy or girl. :)
Love,
Jemma and Lyndsey.
