27 weeks!!
This week, our 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.
Yesterday I had some Braxton Hicks contractions. These weren't the first I've had, it's just been the first time I've had more than one in a day. I got 1-2 every hour. They didn't really hurt, just more uncomfortable. She was also beating up on all my organs yesterday. I'm sure my organs are all nice and bruised today.
13 weeks to go...!!!
