Sweet Baby is the size of a head of cauliflower!

 

27 weeks pregnant
This week we did the Glucose Test.. Thankfully I passed!!  Phew!  This week I started getting tired again and I’ve been getting lots of heartburn and can now feel baby squirming instead of just little kicks.  I can’t believe we’re over half way and meet her in just 3 short months!

About our 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. (summary and weekly image from babycenter)

About me: Loving every moment of being pregnant, just a few short months to go!
How far along? 27 Weeks 2 Days   
Total weight gain:  15lbs
Maternity clothes? Not yet, just bigger sizes.
Stretch marks? None yet
Sleep: Off an on.
Best moment this week: Passing the glucose test!

Worst moment this week: Consuming the red dye in the glucose test drink.. Definitely not necessary.

Miss Anything?  Medium-rare steak!
Movement: Yes! 🙂
Food cravings: Watermelon, grapefruit, and Ben and Jerry’s Raspberry Frozen Yogurt with Dark Chocolate Chunks – YUM!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Raw ground meat/chicken.
Gender: Baby GIRL!
Labor Signs: No.
Symptoms: Heartburn.
Belly Button in or out? Same, in.  Just getting closed in!
Wedding rings on or off? Off.
Happy or Moody most of the time:  Happy! 🙂
Looking forward to:  Doctor’s appointment on Wednesday!

    The last trimester was tough for me, with both pregnancies. The heartburn was awful, and I was retaining water. I was so happy when I finally was able to welcome my children into the world. Holding them in my arms for the first time made up for everything.
