27 weeks - the beginning of the Third Trimester!

From 1-24-09 Due Date

After a week of slow movement (there must have been lots of growing last week), this weekend there have been lots of summer-salts and flips by Baby Long. It is such a good feeling to feel a heal or elbow move across my hand. On Saturday night, Jeremy and I were laying in bed feeling Baby Long move all over the place and kick. There was one HUGE kick that was so big it scared me. Like the baby said "Boo" and I jumped - crazy! I am thankful that I am still only getting up 1 time per night to pee. I know this is a true blessing at 27 weeks.

Babycenter says "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 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."

From 10-25-08 Halloween Party
