27 Weeks

We made it to the third trimester! I'm finally in the home stretch and couldn't be happier! Only 13 weeks left until we meet our baby girl.

I'm feeling....well....pregnant. I've been really drinking a lot of water since my trip to labor and delivery and feel somewhat better but every day I'm more and more convinced that feeling generally crappy is just part of pregnancy for me. Kylie is sooo active lately and I love feeling her kick and move around in my belly so that is what keeps me positive and knowing I can make it for just three more months (or less) for her.

Weekly Update: 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.
