Development- 27 Weeks

So, how you doing in there? I look forward to getting my emails every week that tell me how you're growing. Here's the latest! (from babycenter.com)


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.

I actually have felt the hiccups a few times. It's nice to know you're getting bigger and stronger, but we want you to stay put for now. And it's interesting that your brain is very active, but we wonder what the heck you could be thinking about?!
