27 Weeks

How Far Along - 27 weeks! The last week in the second trimester!
Size of Baby - Almost two pounds and about 14 1/2 inches long. About the size of a head of cauliflower!
What the baby can do this week- He sleeps and wakes at regular intervals, can open and close his eyes and can even suck his thumb. More and more brain tissue is developing which means his brain is very active right now! Even though his lungs are still very immature, they could function (with a lot of medical help).
Total Weight Gain - Not sure! Have a Doctor's appointment today.
Maternity Clothes - Yes! I have found a pair of tights that are so comfortable. I have a few long sweaters and shirts I can wear with them, and plan on finding more.
Gender - A baby boy! Patrick James
Sleep - Sleeping good...partly because I am exhausted. My low iron level doesn't help this at all! Hopefully after a week or so of taking my iron supplements I will start to get some more energy.
What I Crave - Cereal!
Symptoms - Heartburn, but I'm not sure what sets it off yet. I am exhausted and have to use the restroom more at night. FUN!
Baby Purchases - Nothing this week. I am ready for my shower because I really want to get his room squared away. Not only that, but we are waiting to buy our bedroom furniture until our refinance goes through, so the furniture we are moving to his room can't be moved yet because we are still using it!I am starting to get antsy!
