I just hit the mark for my 27th week, which is the final one in my second trimester.
I've obviously been watching this baby grow as each day ticks away, but when I think about being almost two-thirds of the way done with the pregnancy it's hard to figure out where the time has gone!
Many people warned me at the beginning that the nine months would fly by, but I didn't believe it back in December and January when I had this huge timeline stretched out in front of me.
The baby weighs over two pounds this week, roughly equal (in weight) to a head of cauliflower. It's size is still measured as an eggplant — a very healthy one! We don't get a new fruit/veggie reference until next week.
And I'm having no trouble believing that the baby is growing more each day. The kicks are starting to get a little uncomfortable at times. I put Brian's hand on my belly the other morning during a particularly frenzied spell from the baby and he said, "bad baby" every time it launched another limb (or its head?) into my side.
But I do love all the movement! And I'm getting excited about meeting this squirmy, little baby — in a few more months, of course.
