Dear Moe (27 Weeks)

All kinds of good news for you this week, little bean. You're almost two pounds, and measure about 14.5 inches. At our doctor's appointment this week, they measured my uterus and were pleased with the size (about 26 cm). Dr. P. was also comfortable with the amount of weight I've gained carrying you - although it is a little on the high side.

And I've figured out that funny feeling I something have... it's you, with the hiccups! I think it's great that you are practicing your breathing - keep up the great work!

Speaking of encouraging words, you received a card in the mail this week. It was from some lovely friends of ours who wanted to tell you that you are doing a great job growing, and to carry on the good work. :)

Our prenatal class this week gave us some ideas on how to cope with the second stage of labour, which is pretty much the part right before your arrival. It's becoming very real, Moe.

And we're doing an inventory of stuff for you - we're in very good shape when it comes to clothes, that's for sure. Our plans are a bit less material right now... we're thinking hard about banking your cord blood. It's something we'd like to do, if we can.

We also confirmed this week that you're head down, which is great. If you could plan to stay that way for the next three months, even better. :)
