How Peyton's growing:
This week your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14.4 inches long with his legs extended. She can now open and close her eyes, and she sleeps and wakes at regular intervals. She may suck her fingers, and although her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with assistance — if she were to be born prematurely. Chalk up any rhythmic movement you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and isn't bothersome to her, so enjoy the tickle. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. Wonder what she's thinking?
*I have not had any feelings yet that might make me think that they were a hiccup. I am looking forward to them, because I have heard that they are such a funny feeling that will just make me laugh.
*Be thinking of me when I go to my doctors appointment on Monday, January 14th at 5pm. This is my 28 week labs and I will be taking the glucose test. I'll let you know what happens and hopefully it will be good news and I pass.

I remember feeling bad for Sydney sometimes, because she'd have the hiccups for hours. I tried to reasure myself that this was just extra practice for her lungs. I can't remember when I first felt them, but you'll for sure because its different than other movements.
Good luck on your test!
