27 weeks down...13 to go!

My goodness time has started to fly by! Today I am 27 weeks along, and I can't believe that in under 3 months our little girl will be here! She is moving a lot more lately, and Jeff is able to feel her will a little more ease. She does have her quiet times, and that makes me a little nervous! As I sit here to type this, my little girl has her first hiccups (right on schedule)!!!! It feels like a little tapping on the inside about 1 sec apart from each other - hope that means she is growing! I am feeling good still, and blood sugar is right on track! I am starting to get a little uncomfortable at night, but I know that is just the beginning!

Anyway, here is the 27 week update:

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 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.

Only 1 more week until we get to see her again! Yay!!!
