27 Weeks

Little Woods,

We are now at 27 weeks, just one week away from starting your last trimester! You are about 2 and a half pounds now, and about 15 inches from head to toe. You are practicing blinking and breathing right now, and your brain is developing more and more everyday. If you were born now, you would have a very good chance of survival with help. Hanging out in there for a few more weeks would be a good idea though :)



One very exciting development since last blog post is that you officially have a name! Introducing our bundle of joy to be: Audrey Evelyn Woods :) I loved the name Audrey and your dad really liked the name Evelyn(he wanted to call you Evie), and in the end we compromised. I was hoping your dad would cave a little since I have to go through the whole stretching out, throwing up, gaining weight, and giving birth part.

We have been working really hard on getting your nursery in order. We got your dresser in and your dad spent 4 hours this weekend putting it together. It looks really good though! If you were born today, we would be just about ready for you. We still need a few things and a bassinet for you to sleep in, but otherwise we are pretty much set.

Our baby shower in Springfield is just about a week away, and I'm very excited to see everyone and feather your nest. I'll be sure to post pictures. 

Your Grandma Patty is very sick and is fighting a tough battle with brain cancer. Its hard to believe someone can get so sick so quickly, and it makes me appreciate this healthy little lady I have growing inside of me even more. I hope you aren't stressed out and upset like your mother is. I try to sing to you a little every day- the baby book said that would make you feel happy and keep you from feeling stressed. I hope they are right!

 Our 28 week glucose tolerance test is just around the corner so lets hope that goes well!

Until next time!
