Week 27

Week 27.  Welcome to the final week of the second trimester.  It's hard to believe that we're here already, but we've made it!! The weather is warming and it feels like spring is finally here.  So, what's happening this week?

For baby

Baby is now about 15 inches long and weighs 2 pounds.  Baby will keep growing and growing over the next couple months to prep for life outside my body.  Baby is apparently supposed to be sleeping and waking up at regular intervals now, and is possibly even sucking on fingers.  Aww.

For momma:

Other than the usual aches and pains, nothing terribly exciting is happening.  I'm trying to avoid calf cramps like the plague!!  I haven't had one yet this pregnancy, but remember just how badly they hurt so I'm trying to steer clear of them.
