27 Weeks

Size of baby: According to babycenter.com the baby is about the size of a head of cauliflower (finally a veggie I recognize)
This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds and is about 14 1/2 inches long with his legs extended. He's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing his eyes, and perhaps even sucking his fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if he 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 him, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +20 pounds approximately.
Maternity Clothes: yup everyday.
Gender: Boy parts
Movement: Still a lot of movement throughout the day and night. If he's this active on the outside I'm not going to get much sleep once he is born.
What I miss: Not much, I'm getting pretty used to this pregnancy thing, the good and the bad parts.
Sleep: pretty good. i really have been trying to go to bed earlier though.
Symptoms: Still lots of backaches and overall discomfort especially at the end of the day. My belly button has been poking out it is almost completely flat now.
Cravings: Not really craving any foods in particular. I still drink a lot of sweet tea.
Best Moment this week: Taking maternity pictures on Saturday. I can not wait for them to be posted online.
What I am looking forward to: Getting into the 3rd trimester and Christmas.... :)
What I'm NOT look forward to: Taking my Glucose Tolerance Test on Friday. Keep your fingers crossed that I pass!!
