27 weeks.

I made it to 27 weeks on Friday! 1 more week until my 3rd trimester begins.I celebrated my 30th birthday yesterday. I may not look 30 but I definitely feel like it. My hubby, parents, and I went out to dinner. We went to Macaroni Grill because I really wanted to have their mushroom ravioli again. I was kind of bummed. These pregnancy hormones are affecting my taste buds and so many foods that I love seem so bland lately. ugh! Can't wait to enjoy food again.

Felt something new yesterday - I could feel baby kicking me in the ribs! Usually he kicks low either at the navel or below. It was really weird feeling him hit my ribs and the lower part of my belly at the same time. This little dude is getting big!

According to babycenter.com:
This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (about the size of a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements 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 they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.

Baby is the size of a rutabaga, according to thebump.com:
