Week 27

Wow, where did the time go? Last few weeks have been a blur. Aside from Holly's belly growing to the size of a red kickball, we've done a lot of cleaning, reorganizing, painting...all while we both were sick. Holly is back to normal. I'm hanging on to my precious virus as long as I can. They grow up so fast. We finished our birthing class. All I got out of it was that now I know there is a Frullati in our hospital that makes some great tasting shakes.

Got some pictures for y'all. The sonogram pics are from yesterday afternoon. We only got 3 pics out of it. All 3 are of Baby B. In one pic I think he is flashing the "Hook'em Horns" sign. Baby A's head was way low and turned away. So no pics of the lil' guy.

Great news though. The kiddos were like Ying and Yang, one head down (Baby A) and the other head up (Baby B). That was okay for now, but at delivery time they both need to be head down. Well, Baby B has done it. He has flipped and now both kiddos are head down! Both guys are between 2.25-2.50 lbs.

Baby room is almost done! (complete photo album) We painted the sidelines and the hash marks. Holly picked up some yellow paint today so we can paint a field goal post around the window. Grandma Nena was here this weekend, along with my sis Mari and my nieces Isabella and Genesis. Before they left Mom wanted to stop by Hancock Fabrics. As much as I didn't want to go in that snooze building, it ended up great. Mom took home some Raider fleec fabric (for baby blankets) at rock bottom prices...veterans day sale. Mom called yesterday...she was back home and at Hancock Fabrics again. She picked up more Raider fabric for crib sheets, bumpers and curtains! I guess we will end up with a Raider room afterall.

That is it for now...almost. Here is what is going on inside the belly week 27:
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.
