Happy Wednesday! This week we are 27 (ish) weeks pregnant.
If you're wondering why I
say "ish" when describing how far along we are in the pregnancy, well,
that little Carter Warren is throwing us for a loop with how big he
actually is. Dr. Boon, my OBGYN, had said from the beginning that he
looked a week or so ahead of the August 24th due date. And THEN, when I
had my gallbladder surgery,
the surgeon said that he looks SEVERAL weeks ahead of my due date.
Hmmm... sounds to me like little Carter may be making an appearance a
little earlier than we thought ...
Nevertheless, we will continue with our baby count. According to TheBump.com,
during week 27 of pregnancy, the average fetus measures about 13.6 to
14.8 inches and weighs about 1.5 to 2.5 pounds. He already has his room 99% setup and we are getting closer to being totally ready for his arrival. He is breathing and showing brain activity this week! I have found ways to deal with the annoying back aches that haven't gone away. I have also found that I have to pee. A lot. Event when I just went, I feel like I have to go. It's all good though, we are heading down the pregnancy home stretch - bring it on!
