Joaquin is 27 weeks today and about the size of an eggplant (yep, we're stuck with the same fruit for a few weeks again). He is about 14 1/2 inches long with his legs extended. He's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing his eyes, and perhaps even sucking his fingers. With more brain tissue developing, Joaquin's brain is very active now. While his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if he were to be born now. Baby hiccups may be common from now on.
How far along? 27 weeks
Weight gain/loss: Um, well, I'm debating whether I should still answer this question. (whispers: 27 pounds).
Sleep? The last week has been difficult. My abdominal muscles are literally ripping off of my rib cage at the top of my stomach and I can feel it and it really hurts. So, when I try to sleep it can be somewhat difficult. I'm hoping the pain starts to go away soon.
Best moment this week? My first baby shower was amazing! It was absolutely gorgeous, the food was great and the company was even better. It was absolutely perfect.
Movement:Jay FINALLY felt Joaquin move. That was really exciting!
Food cravings: Spicy chocolate still. I wish I could find some with a bigger kick.
Belly button in or out? Out.
What I miss? Being able to buckle my own shoes with ease.
What I am looking forward to? Jay and I have no concrete plans this weekend, which is a big change. I'm excited at all of the possibilities (including naps!).
Milestones: I'm in my third trimester! 2 months and 30 days left!
What I'm nervous about:The flight to Spain in a couple weeks.
