27 weeks

Well I am 27 weeks now. The legs are hurting more and so is my back. Ava thought it would be a great idea to run around the block. Well my lower belly started hurting and I had to come home and lay down. I am not sure if they were braxton hicks or not. I drank some water and I felt so much better. 

27 weeks the baby is .................
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.

See what your baby looks like this week.
