27 Weeks

This picture was taken at 27 weeks :) That was last Sunday, but I have been so busy having fun with my sister in town, that I haven't had time to blog! The adventures of her 3 week stay with us will probably get posted next week sometime. So, now that I am almost 28 weeks, I better post this.


This week, baby Kahlan weighs almost 2 pounds 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, her 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.

This past week, we went in to the family maternity center to get checked out. There was a slight concern that amniotic fluid may have been leaking, but it turns out all is well! It was kind of nice to get a non-stress test and know that she is doing really well :) Our next appointment is this coming week on the 27th. I'll also be doing my glucose test at that time. So, hoping all goes well! More updates to come!!
