Week 27

OK, so I am officially going to blog every week about the baby and what is going on in the life of the Dougherty's. I should have started this when I got pregnant at the beginning to help document the pregnancy, but I didn't so I have decided to move past that. With that being said...

Here we are at week 27 -

Baby girl weighs about 2 lbs right now and mommy weighs...well, we aren't gonna say what mommy weighs but I will say that at this point I have gained 15 lbs. Which isn't bad so far, according to the Dr. I will prolly gain 35 or so lbs. YIKES! More brain tissue is developing, she is sleeping at regular intervals, and may be sucking her fingers. She is approximately 14 inches long according to BabyCenter.com. In real life, she was making it hard for me to sleep until I got an extra long pillow...Thank you Target! Now it is much better, the only time I am up is to pee usually around 3 or 4 am. I feel her kick and move a lot now, especially when I am lying down. She is very active. Charles has even felt her kick too. Oh, did I mention that my stomach itches like crazy as well! That just means that she is growing and lucky me I am getting bigger.

The other night Charles said he had a dream about her. In the dream she was singing and had red hair. I was also informed that she was cute. I have to admit I am a little jealous about not having a dream about her yet, but in a way -or so I read- Charles is bonding with her, as I am every day. So maybe I shouldn't be jealous.

Stay tuned to next week...
