27 Weeks

Well, I am just now getting around to this weeks' post so I'm actually 27 weeks and 5 days today.  

Ahhh, the second trimester is coming to a close this week! 

YAHOO, let's get this show on the road!

Trenton is just about 2 lbs and 14.5 inches... apparently the size of a large Rutabaga (whatever that is, haha) or a head of Califlower.

It is unbelieveable to me that anything that big could fit in me.. and is still getting bigger. Mind Blowing.

He is sleeping & waking at regular intervals and opening and closing his eyes!!

If we could see him now we would be able to see his hair color and eye color.

The brain is very active now and the lungs are immature but developing rapidly at this stage. He now gets the hiccups as he learns to "breathe" taking in fluids through his lungs. At first I didnt know what "that new feeling" was so I googled it and then I noticed the rythmic patterns and put it all together.. they are hiccups! Too cute.. such a funny feeling. Apparently it is a sign of a healthy baby going through all the proper changes/growth stages. Sure can't hear that enough!

I wanted to get a better picture when we were all dressed up for Blaine Templeton's wedding that was on Friday but let's just say the photo didn't turn out great. I looked like a big purple oompa loompa. Hopefully, I didnt really look that way.. yikkees. Was still such a fun night, so happy for our good friend Blaine and his new beautiful wife, Kacy. Thanks for including us in the celebration, Templetons! I was actually able to get a little jiggy with it :) ... was a great work out. 

We swear each day I get bigger now. He is growing at the rate of about a 1/2 pound a week.. thats a lot! The countdown is on.. I already feel like I'm going to pop so I hope this last trimester flies by! 

I'll leave you with a funny picture of my (what was a) belly button. Now it's as flat as can be.. and sometimes sticks out a little. The little hole above my belly button was where I had a belly button ring once upon a time. It just looks so funny.. doesn't it? 

Happy Sunday Funday!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Enjoy the afternoon. 

hugs, Tay.
