27 Week Update...

Ava's development in pregnancy week 27:

Ava's in seventh month Your not-so-tiny-anymore brilliant baby(about 2 pounds and 14.5 inches long!) is slowly rotating in preparation to “head out.” Obviously, this doesn’t happen overnight, but when you start to feel an unfamiliar pressure on your cervix, you’ll know you’ve got a fully flipped baby locked and loaded for the countdown to their birthday! Even now, at the beginning of the third trimester, their little lungs are already capable of breathing air while the pulmonary vascular system can provide sufficient gas exchange and the central nervous system can generally regulate rhythmic breathing as well as their basal body temperature. For what it’s worth, at this point in a healthy pregnancy a premature child (with intensive care) could easily win on the show: “Survivor: The Early Years.”


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.

We have also registered! We went to Babies R Us on Saturday and finally registered. Here is the link! http://www.toysrus.com/ControllerServlet?target=viewDetails&operation=authenticate_user&registryNumber=60288977&from=registrySearch


This was a lot to take in when you have no idea all that you will need for her! We followed a guide and list and des followed me around with the consumer guide book and we looked up each item before we registered for it! So hopefully we registered for the best stuff we could! It seemed to take a while to get through the whole store! but we had a great time and it was funny walking around going ok so look this up because I have no idea what it is and or where it is in the store!

But all in all it was a great experience!



hope everyone has a wonderful week!
