27 weeks

This is what babycenter.com has to say about the baby. This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.

I am trying to take moments out of every day to sit back and really enjoy this pregnancy. I have been so busy lately it has been a challenge. I am still having trouble sleeping at night due to this constant stuffy nose. I have done better with the sweets the past couple days. I am sure that the fact that we are out of Pumpkin ice cream plays a little into that equation. : ) Even though I have been complaining about constantly being hot during this pregnancy, I am already missing the hot days of summer. I feel like it became chilly overnight. I know that the before I know it that chill will become snow. I hate winter time. I guess this winter I have something to look forward to so it won't be bad that is so cold outside and we have to stay indoors with our new baby. : )


Here is another belly shot. George is getting pretty good at remembering to take them every Wednesday when I change over into the next pregnancy week.
