*27 Weeks*

Well, we've made it 2 weeks since all the excitement started! That is definitely an answered prayer and blessing. I am 27 weeks today and I wanted to let everyone know (courtesy of BabyCenter.com) what all is going on this week with the baby's development.

This week, Hudson weighs about 2 pounds and is about 14 1/2 inches long with his legs extended. For any of you who know our dog Lexi, he's about her size, just a little lighter. He's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing his eyes, and perhaps even sucking his fingers. With more brain tissue developing, his 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- not taking into account his steroid shots. Any tiny rhythmic movements I might be feeling could be 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.

Also, on another note, I go back to the doctor tomorrow- so I will update y'all on what she says!
