27 weeks: a cauliflower

Your baby is as hefty as a head of cauliflower, weighing in at almost 2 pounds. (Length: about 14 1/2 inches.)
This week, your 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, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.

How far along? 27 weeks, 1 day
Maternity clothes? Maternity pants all the way, that's not going to change! I can still fit into loose non-maternity tops. I'm wearing those as long as possible :)

Stretch marks? Nope, please stay this way!
Sleep: Eh, it's been okay...my back has started to hurt recently.

Best moment this week: Baby shopping with Ashley and hanging out with Kate, Amy & Ash - it was a good time and I wish we could all get together more often!
Movement: All the time and all over! The remote was bouncing on my belly last night :)
Food cravings: Hostess chocolate cupcakes, chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream, brownies with chocolate icing, oreos & milk...if it has chocolate, I want to eat it!
Gender: It's a girl!
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? Still an innie

What I miss: I really wanted a hot dog the other day, Jordan talked me out of it since it's one of the only things I won't eat during pregnancy.
What I am looking forward to: Memorial Day weekend and another wedding I have coming up this weekend!

Weekly Wisdom: Get things done early! I'm SO glad I did because I'm already starting to slow down a bit and I have a long way to go still!

I feel like Jordan and I have been going non-stop this week! We've been busy with anything and everything and our house looks like a tornado zone right now. It's a good busy but I just feel like we don't sit down and relax together as much as we used to. I guess I better get used to that because those days are probably long gone :) Everything is going good though, no trips to the ER or labor & delivery this week! My allergies are absolutely killing me but oh well, I can deal with those over that crap I dealt with last week!

We're trying to get ready to have a garage sale soon. Our family room is just filled with old furniture that we cleared out from the nursery that all needs to go! It drives me crazy because I am still in organizing mode and seeing that stuff in there just makes me nuts. Jordan can't keep up with my neurotic organizing I've had lately :)

Oh, and since I didn't do a 26 week belly picture last week here is a quick photo Ashley and I took together on her iPhone after a day of shopping. It's a pretty horrible picture of the both of us but oh well!
