Update on 27 Weeks

So our appointment with Dr. Stewart on Monday confirmed that I have a UTI. I'm really not surprised, because I am in an extreme amount of pain. I also got some bad news about my health, Roger and I are staying strong to work through it together, but the good news is that Kay is growing like a blade of grass and just as healthy. She weighs 2 lbs 9 oz, measuring at 28 weeks, is super active, and is thankfully staying head down.

Pictures!

This one is of her little hand with the finger bones very visible (on the left) and her profile (on the right).

This one is where I tried to outline the profile a little bit.

This one is where we were trying to look at her little face in 3d and she yet again threw a hand up in front of it telling us she was done with that, ::laughs:: She is already shy, and it is too cute.

This one I colored what I thought was her hands and lips. I do believe she was caught sucking on her thumb! That is the one picture I wanted to catch in this whole pregnancy. If anyone sees anything else, let me know what you see. :oD

Updates!

Babycenter.com: "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."

Thebump.com: "Baby's lungs are going through some major developments these days, which (combined with the opening of previously plugged nostrils) means he's now able to practice inhaling and exhaling. The lack of air in your womb means every "breath" is filled with amniotic fluid, but hey -- it's progress."

Babiesonline.com: "The retina develops its normal layers by the 27th week of gestation. These layers are important in receiving light and light information and transmitting it to the brain for interpretation. Your baby's skin is quite wrinkled from floating in water. It will stay this way until a few weeks after birth as your newborn fills out into a baby. Your baby is about 14.5 inches long, and weighs over two pounds."
