27 weeks

• juliet now measures at around 9.5 inches from crown to rump and is about 2 pounds.
• she resembles a thinner, smaller, redder version of what she will look like at birth.
• lungs, liver and immune system are not fully developed yet. if born now, survival is 80-85%.
• she is starting to distinguish my voice from the rest, although it's difficult to hear clearly through the thick vermix covering her ears and through the amniotic fluid.
• this begins the most active stage for babies in their mommy's tummies!

i just realized i never scheduled my next appointment. OOPS! i better go do that right now....
