27 Weeks

27 weeks along. 13 to go!

Lots is happening with Babykins this week. He should be about 14.4 inches long. He can open and close his eyes. He sleeps and wakes at regular intervals. He may suck his fingers and get hiccups. His brain tissue is developing rapidly, so his lil' brain is very active now.

Erich says I must eat lots of protein to build Baby's brain, so I came up with a breakfast that packs in a whopping 52 grams of protein all at once! Needless to say, it keeps me quite full until lunch. :-) It is 3 eggs on wheat bread with 2 pieces of cheese, turkey bacon, and a glass of soy milk. Yummy! I was amazed to find out that bread has a pretty decent amount of protein in it.

I was looking back at my past blog entries and saw the 3D ultrasound from when I was around 11 weeks. Bradley already looked like a little person--even then. It makes me wonder what he's thinkin' about in there, what color his eyes are, what color his hair is, etc.

I took care of our preregistration for the hospital this week. Just all the basic address info., etc. Nice to have that out of the way.

I had a dream about Bradley on the 8th. Before I knew if we were having a boy or girl, I had 1 dream that I was having a boy and 1 dream that I was having a girl. Now I just dream about Bradley specifically. My dream was that I could see Bradley's outline through my stomach. I tickled his ears and could see his lips and nose. I even held him through my stomach.

I get to see my sis soon, so I'm REALLY excited about that! I'm sure pics will follow...
