27 Weeks!!!!

Courtesy of Baby Center:
This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with his legs extended. He's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing his eyes, and perhaps even sucking his fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if he 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 him, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.

I would just like to add how entertained I am by watching my belly move. I started seeing the movement of my belly weeks ago but it is so pronounced now...Like waves on my stomach and if I put my had down at the right time it's like I can feel his body. Which actually makes me tear up because I cannot wait to meet my little man! He is so active - I feel his movement so much throughout the day!! I love it! Next week I will be in my third trimester :) Amazing how quickly the first two have gone by!
