14 weeks to go....

wow...can't hardly believe that we are already 6 1/2 months along...and yet i am def. hitting the first point of frustration...not being able to be as independent as i like to be...simple things like tying my shoes, bending over to pick something up, getting up from laying on my back or sitting, finding shirts that don't make me look like a big fruit, finding a cute swimsuit (which is nearly impossible for pregnant women), starving but only able to fit a few bites in before i am full...all such fun stuff...haaaa

on the amazing side of things...this little guy has been moving a ton and loves to listen music, my voice and dominic's voice....so crazy to see my stomach moving...a friend described it as watching a 3-ring circus inside his wife's belly....so true...

well here is what is happening this week with our little one...

Your pregnancy: 27 weeks


How your baby's growing:

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.
