Week 27

YOUR BABY THIS WEEK ...Week 27

It’s official—you’re starting your third trimester and well on your way to delivery day!

Your Baby: As growth continues, your baby weighs in at over 2 pounds (1 kg). And because his body is more developed, measurement no longer goes from rump to crown, but from tip to toe—about 15 inches (38cm)! Your baby can suck his thumb now, which is actually a good thing! It helps calm him, while also helping to strengthen jaw muscles and encourage the suckling reflex. Your baby can even cry now, but you won’t be able to hear him.


YAY!!! I'm well on my way to delivery day. Doesn't that sound exciting. I'm starting to get scared about it, but I know I can do it. I'm going to try my hardest to not have any drugs during delivery. Alot of people think I'm crazy, but I really want to be able to move around and be completely aware of everything right after the baby is born. I can't wait to hear them say "It's a girl" or "It's a boy". I want to remember hearing that forever. I'm starting to freak out about where I'll be when I go into labor. I have a feeling I'm going to be at work, but at least by that time Michelle will be working here again and can take me to the hospital which is only down the street.

I keep hearing that I'll probably go late, but since they told me the baby was big at 20 weeks I'm thinking I might go early. At my cousin Michael's wedding shower the other day everyone told me that I look like I'm having a boy. I can't wait to know. Even though the suspense is killing me know, I'm so glad I didn't find out. It's going to be the ultimate surprise!
