27 weeks & 3 days

I've been slacking on these weekly updates about Lincoln. Although I'm a few days late on his 27 week update, it's better late than never! Here's what is new with Lincoln...

"Your baby graduates onto a new growth chart this week. No longer will he be measured crown to rump, but rather from head to toe. And this week that head-to-toe length is a full 15 inches (more than a foot long)! Your baby's weight is creeping up the charts as well, coming in at just over 2 pounds this week. And here's an interesting fetal factoid: Your baby has more taste buds now than he will have at birth (and beyond). Which means that not only is your baby able to taste the difference in the amniotic fluid when you eat different foods, he might even react to it. For instance, some babies respond to spicy foods by hiccupping. Or by kicking when they get that spicy kick."

Lincoln is moving all the time. I would be embarrassed to share how many hours a week I spend just staring at my moving belly! It's just amazing. If I didn't know any better, I would think I was carrying twins!

I got the results back from my glucose test, and I was in the normal range! That means there won't be a 3-hour glucose test for me! Yay!! I'm still feeling great. I have loved being pregnant! My belly is getting huge. I'll have Chris take a picture of me this week :)

On Friday we go for our last 3D ultrasound! We cannot wait! I can't believe I'm already almost 28 weeks pregnant! It has flown by.
