27 weeks.... and counting!

How your baby's growing: Your baby is really starting to fill up your uterus. This week he weighs almost 2 pounds and is about 14.4 inches long with his legs extended. He can now open and close his eyes, and he sleeps and wakes at regular intervals. He may suck his fingers, and although his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with assistance — if he were to be born prematurely. Chalk up any rhythmic movement 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 isn't bothersome to him, so enjoy the tickle. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. Wonder what he's thinking?

Yes! Since Morgan hasn't been sleeping well, neither has the bab. It's actually quite funny. I'll be holding Morgan standing up, or I'll be laying with her on the couch, and Baby Bunny will start bouncing off the walls! I don't know if it's trying to reassure her with a high five... or give her a swift kick and telling her to go back to bed! She hasn't said anything about it yet, but when we are pressed up against each other... well, she's gotta feel it! It ain't gas! :)

Fun, fun. Will this one be fiesty? Or the mediator? Please, oh, please, let Baby Bunny be the mellow peacemaker. A mini Steve. We need the balance in this house!

Morgan slept through the night last night. I did have to put her to bed and let her cry for 15 minutes, but I actually think she is in the testing stage where she's learning her boundaries, so I am going to stick with it. She even woke up happy this morning, and to help me out, the little Eyeore next door started braying, which delights her to no end, so she was still in a good mood when I came in and asked her if she was "all done nigh night?". Few. I needed the rest. Hopefully this all gets worked out soon. :)

Actually, Bunny hasn't hiccuped yet! Morgan used to do it all the time... Interesting!
