27 Weeks!

I had an appointment yesterday, which went wonderful. She is measuring right on track. It was the yucky glucose test appointment. So hopefully I passed, I should know today or tomorrow. I have started my two appointments now. Time is flying by, and getting very anxious to meet Miss Lily! I washed her little clothes yesterday and it just makes me even more excited.

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.
