My Pregnancy: Week 27

Baby's now the size of a head of cauliflower!

This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds 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 only lasts a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.

Well, the good news is that I still feel really good.  I feel so good in fact that I have started accepting more orders for my Etsy shop.  Orders are starting to come in quickly so I guess I know what I will be focusing on for the next several weeks.  When I was pregnant with Leila, I was busily working on nursery decor at this point in my pregnancy, but since I've decided to keep the same theme, I guess I'll channel my nesting urges to sewing instead!
