27 Weeks

At 27 weeks, we now start measuring the baby from head to toe, rather than just to their bottom.  Which means...she is almost 15 inches in length!  No wonder I feel like I might explode!  Also, her taste buds are developed now too, which means she can taste the differences in the amniotic fluid based on what I eat.  When I read about this they mentioned that her mealtimes are about two hours after mine, so I can see how she responds to a food by what I feel two hours after a meal.  Spicy foods often make her kick and hiccup, but really, I think she does that no matter what I eat!  Jeff pointed out that this may be why I can't fall asleep very easily anymore.  Just when I am trying to rest (you know about eight o'clock, everyone's normal bedtime) she is moving and shaking! Maybe dinner needs to be at four. :)
