27 weeks

HOW YOUR BABY IS GROWING AT 27 WEEKS:
This week your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14.4 inches long with her legs extended. She can now open and close her eyes, and she sleeps and wakes at regular intervals. She may suck her fingers, and although her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with assistance — if she were to be born prematurely. Chalk up any rhythmic movement 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 isn't bothersome to her, so enjoy the tickle. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. Wonder what she's thinking?

(She's probably wondering who the idiot is that keeps poking her back when she stretches... Listen baby, I have NO idea what you're talking about.)

PS - We had a wonderful 41 hour weekend together!
