27 weeks!

Your pregnancy: 27 weeks

See the big picture

How your baby's growing:

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.

Baby plans for the week: Mike and I are going to check out the labor and delivery areas of our 2 top hospital choices to make our final decision on where we're going to have our baby. Pennsylvania Hospital (1st hospital in the U.S) or University of Pennsylvania Hospital. I'm so excited to see the options and what the facilities will be like. We'll let you know which one we decide.
