27 Weeks!

We've had a very fun week! As Doug said, we had our carpet installed, our furniture picked up and assembled, and many of the accessories put in the room. We have had such a great time getting the nursery together. I can't stop going in there, and many times, I just sit in the glider and think about rocking Grant someday. It looks like we are done with the room, but of course we still need many more things to complete it and fill up the drawers. But at least it looks good from the outside so far!

We also had our breastfeeding class this week. It was very informative, and with every step like this that we take, we realize we are one step closer to becoming parents. While at this class, I was feeling the baby move and kick a lot. I looked down at some point and could actually see my belly jump out and move! I nudged Doug and told him to watch, and sure enough it happened again. It was a such a neat thing, and I realized that the best part about being pregnant is reaching these new, exciting milestones. There is always something different to look forward to each week--there is never a dull moment!

At 27 weeks, our baby weighs about 2 pounds and is almost 15 inches long. He will continue to grow so much more at a quicker rate the next few weeks. As we start the 28th week, we are so excited to be entering the 3rd trimester. It won't be much longer now!
