27 Weeks

Hi baby girl,

Time keeps marching on rapidly! You are estimated to be 14.5 inches head to toe and nearly 2 pounds - the weight of a head of cauliflower! Your hands and fingerprints are fully developed and your heart is pumping blood.

I must say you are making this pregnancy shenanigans rather harder on me than your big brother did. Granted, I actually have to take care of your wild brother this time around so no doubt that adds to it. He would fall on the extreme high level for energy and rambunctiousness so get ready! I'm quite tired most of the time and my back gives me a fair amount of trouble. All in all though, we are both healthy and doing well. There is much to thank God for.

So the fun side of all this? You are a busy busy beaver in there! I feel you moving several times each day and your movements are becoming stronger all the time. Your daddy is able to feel you move from the outside now too. <3 The other morning your big brother woke up and we had a bit of very still snuggle time. This can be quite rare, as your brother does not sit still very often at all! He was in my arms, facing me, with his head on my shoulder. His stomach was to mine and you started kicking him! It was such a beautiful and memorable moment. And as I'm writing this, you are moving around in there!

I cannot believe our 2nd trimester is almost over. Your daddy took this pictures of me today and I was stunned when I looked at it and saw how big we are getting. We have your name narrowed down to a couple choices but we haven't made our final decision yet. Not sure how we'll finally decide.

Baby girl, keep growing and thriving!
