Liam ~ 27 Week Doctor Appointment

Today I had my 27 week doctor appointment and glucose test.  His heart rate was great and he is  measuring 2 weeks big.  Yikes!  She said they don't look at that number too much now as it means more when I'm closer to 36 weeks.  She also reassured me that it could be his position and since we are doing a c-section it's okay if he is a big baby.  :)  I have a 28 week ultrasound at Goldenview Ultrasound (same time that we did it with Grayson) and we will be doing the HD Live ultrasound, which is much more clear than the 4-D.  We can't wait to see our little Liam!  I get the results tomorrow for the glucose test, but expecting everything is okay.  Update: I passed the glucose test.

Here is what BabyCenter says about 27 weeks:

This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (about the size of 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.
