Twenty-seven Weeks


 
This week: Wolverine Baby is 14 1/2 inches long and weighs 2 pounds. The two size charts I looked at said this was the size of a rutabaga or a head of cauliflower.  I'd like to point out that these were the veggies of reference a couple of weeks ago, so maybe it's later in the season and we're getting bigger vegetables???

Development: This week, she is sleeping and waking at regular intervals (and based on her movements, I'd agree with this statement).  More brain tissue is developing, so her brain is very active.  Her lungs are still not fully developed, but they could function with medical help if she were to arrive today.

Are you craving anything? At this very moment, chocolate milk.  But the little store on the Lower Level closed at three, so I'm out of luck.

Is there any food that turns you off? Wings.

How do you feel? Uncomfortable.

How is your sleep? Pretty good in spite of the fact that I have a hard time rolling from one side to the other.

Most surprising thing you've noticed or experienced:  Last night, I was lying on my back.  I attempted to sit up using only my abdominal muscles (instead of the much-less-graceful moves I've been using to get out of bed or off the couch, which usually just involves rolling off the side).  When I engaged my abs, my stomach took on the most bizarre shape I've ever seen.  Here's a very scientific drawing of what I saw from my point of view:
 
It was so completely weird that I called Ray over and made him watch.  I asked, "WHAT IS THAT?!?!" And he suggested it was Wolverina.  I explained that she was moving off to the side, so it couldn't be her.  I'm sure it has to do with my abdominal muscles stretching and moving to accommodate the pregnancy, but that is so weird-looking! 

Something you're surprised you haven't noticed or experienced: Nope.

Favorite/most comfortable article of clothing: A Gap Maternity tee shirt.

How is Ray doing? He's worn out from working long hours because of Tropical Storm Debby, and he's worried about what the storm will have done to the scallops this year.  Other than that, he's great.
