27 WEEKS AND COUNTING!!

This week, she 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, her 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!!

I'm feeling great and have lots of energy. I was up cleaning the house past 9pm after work. It seems I have more energy now then when I wasn't pregnant. It's so funny how I was so sick the 1st trimester, and over night I felt like a new person! She is very active. Tate McKinlee kicks all day. She is still at church, but when we stand up to sing she starts kicking a bunch. I think she loves music. We listen to classical music at night. I came home to a baby bed put together and ready to use the other night after work. Zach made my night. Zach is going to be a great daddy! Thank you God for my babygirl and husband. Please continue to keep her safe and healthy inside and outside the womb!!!
