27 Weeks

Time sure is flying, I've just hit my 27th week of being pregnant. I'm feeling pretty darn good. Last week we had some pretty HOT days, and those were a bit uncomfortable but life goes on, right? I know I have many, many more of those in store.
Here's the scoop on the little one:

This week the baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14.4 inches long with his legs extended. He can now open and close his eyes, and he sleeps and wakes at regular intervals. He may suck his fingers, and although his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with assistance — if he were to be born prematurely. Chalk up any rhythmic movement 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 isn't bothersome to him, so enjoy the tickle. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. Wonder what he's thinking?
