27 weeks

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.

Some nursery updates:

Here's 2 possible floor plans to go with our new swivel glider that we bought today. I know the chair is big but it has to be for comfort. Eventually it will move out into the living room as the second chair there and yes it does fit in there as well.

All the fabrics together, the sofa, chair and nursery bedding

Here's the chair in a different color, I'm pretty sure Dominic likes it.

And an upclose of the green microfiber for the chair

On the way out we marveled at the ridiculous parking jobs

And I can't leave out the three fabrics for our new sofa. The center fabric is the sofa and the two side fabrics are for 2 pillows each. The one on the left is actually discontinued but they were able to find enough to make the pillows out of and then gave me the swatch to do with as I please...I see another pillow in my future!

Here's the Sofa. It's the Chandler by Broyhill which happens to be the same that my mom got for their living room. We have a habit of doing that in my family, buying the same things. I guess all the research really does lead to a good choice if we each make the same one. Main factor in the choice for me was size, we needed a shorter sofa that still had a deep seat, and height, I like my head to rest on the back and not on the TOP of the back. Lets hope it fits through the door.
