27 Weeks!

Another big milestone has been reached. When we first checked in here they showed us a picture book of premature babies and what the NICU and other conditions would be like to help prepare us for what babies at different gestational periods look like and go through. Well they had a couple pages on 24-26 weeks. Today Melissa asked to see the book again to look at the 27-31 week pages. It was really nice to turn that page.

While the most critical development weeks have past we now enter the large growth spurt where the weight increase is exponentional. Hopefully we can hang around for a while to allow Bea to pack on the pounds to give her strength and stamina for life outside of the womb. I'm a little extra tired today and ready for bed and to wake up in the morning refreshed with one day further removed from 27 weeks and one day closer to 28 weeks.
