Baby's lungs and immune system are maturing this week as baby prepares for her grand entrance. If she were born today she would have an 85 percent chance of surviving as her lungs are capable of breathing air (with medical assistance, of course). Other exciting developments:
Baby's done a lot of growing over the past few months. Her length has more than doubled in the past 15 weeks! And that's not the only thing growing—baby's brain tissue and neurons are all developing at a rapid pace. Her brain waves are now firing away just like those of a newborn baby.
Your baby now weighs in at approximately 14 1/2 inches and just over 2 pounds, or about the size of that roast you made last time your in-laws were in town.
So, I realized that I've been a slacker with the belly pics...I totally missed 4 weeks worth...and when you're growing like I am (and little Grace), 4 weeks is a lot to miss...LOL! So anyway, here they are:
I took 2 of week 27 (Trent thinks I need to still do bare belly...so I took 2)...
Week 27 again (May 6 2010)

Week 26 - April 29, 2010
Week 25 April 22, 2010.JPG)
Week 24 April 15, 2010
And...I just have to add that I AM SO EXCITED TO BE GETTING FAT! Yep, mark that down in the history books, Tracy actually said that! I LOVE looking at my belly and knowing that our little Grace is in there growing!
I noticed that as of today, I have 90 DAYS left...holy cow...hard to beleive! We are all SO excited!

Ya for getting fat! Maybe I should rejoice in that too! Ok, so I am past my childbearing years. Looking cute! Wish I could feel her. It's been a long time since I have felt that.
You're too cute! And so tiny still. Ok, big for you, but tiny compared to me. I should take more pictures, but I don't know if I am any bigger than I was at 17 weeks, although when he measures me, he says, perfect. lol.
I can't believe you are really getting close to the countdown now, Trace! I miss seeing you girls at aerobics...only 4 more weeks! Love the 'A good cry' post...so sweet.
