Last night I was up all night with indigestion! This is not the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last. Tums are in my purse, in our kitchen, in my office, they are everywhere I am. An old wives tale says that if you have indigestion, your baby will have hair when he/she is born. Well let me tell you, it looks like Baby M will have a full head of thick lucious hair!
27 weeks! Last week of the 2nd Trimester!
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.
I feel flips and kicks all the time and I'm looking forward to the hiccups! Feel free when you see me to ask if Baby M is moving because I would love to let you feel. I want to share this part of my pregnancy with everyone but you may have to be patient. He/She may get shy and stop but we'll do our best to make it happen!
