27 weeks!

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.

As for me, not much change. We went for my monthly check up and had the glucose test, let's hope everything comes back normal and I don't have to go for the 3 hour test! We also learned that I'll now go every 2 weeks! I can't believe we're at the point now! Its kind of nice though, I know I'll be more closely monitored, it feels like I have a new question or symptom right after my monthly appointment.

Still having Braxton Hicks and heartburn but it's all manageable. The BH are scary but I try to be rationale.

We got the nursery furniture delivered, we just have to put it together and we got the mattress and everything so we're ready to get it set up! Have to paint and clean the carpet first though...

I had a realization that while it's surprising this is happening so quickly and there's a lot of work to be done around the house (finishing a bathroom, setting up the nursery). I'm definitely ready for the change this will bring to our lives. I was reading some posts on the Nest and the majority of the ladies were talking about how they didn't want to give up their freedom and I realized, I DO! I want all the changes that this baby will bring to our lives. I know I'll miss some of the get up and go mentality but we aren't really like that anyway. It was just really comforting to come to that realization; I've been waiting to feel like I'm giving something up (and other fears that people have before having kids) and realized, I should stop waiting because I know I'm not going to feel that way, we're ready! (thank goodness, right?! He's coming anyway!).

I got up at 5 the morning this was taken, this was like 6:30 or 7:00 so cut me some slack.

I look crazy in this one...
