27 Weeks

Baby you are now 27 weeks and Dr. DL said that my tummy is going to get bigger because you are done growing the vital pieces of you and will just be growing in weight and inches!  By my next visit with you and all the fun stuff you are in I should gain about a pound a week!  How fun!

Fun Facts about you this week:

• You are the size of a cauliflower and weigh anywhere from 1.5- 2.5 pounds
• If we were to do a test it would show brain activity!  You are learning to think for yourself and your brain will get more complex!
• You're practicing inhaling and exhaling with your lungs to prepare for when you are born!
• This past month you have kind of scared me a couple of times because I haven't felt you move like before but in talking to Dr. DL we summed this up to position.  I summed this up to momma does not drink enough water!  You really like to be face in in your comfy cozy spots which is either on the right or left side but usually the right because that is where I feel you poke my ribs the most
• After drinking a ton of water I can feel your movements a lot more and clearer.  Sometimes it feels like you are tickling my spine.
• I have had really bad heartburn this past week and was told to drink milk before bed, sometimes this helps and sometimes this doesn't... but milk even skim does not taste very appetizing in the middle of the night.  
•  I am starting to tell when you shift your weight onto my bladder because I have to go to the bathroom a lot more but sometimes in moving positions I can relieve the pressure and the feeling goes away.  
• You really don't like when I do squats because I squish you too much and you get super wiggly and kick me a lot.  
• And just a funny one for moms who read this... I now know what it feels like to sneeze and pee a little at the same time.  How embarrassing but so funny at the same time!
