Week 27 Day 1


   Dense.  I can’t get over how dense everything feels in there.  It’s real easy to tell where the baby is because there is a lot more resistance to poking depending on where it’s located in the belly.  Not only that, but we were also lying in bed and one side of my wife’s stomach was visibly higher than the other.
   A little later it had moved to just below the belly button.  I was actually able to push in on it to evenly disperse the baby throughout the womb so there was equal resistance all over her stomach.  And judging by her reaction, I assume that this is a more desirable location for the baby.
   Not only is this really cool, but the baby fights back.  Our child is going to be “strong like bull”. (insert thick Russian accent)
   According to the pregnancy assist app on my phone, it is almost 2 ½ lbs and between 13 ½ to 15 inches long.  (That’s head to toe)  But if you ask my wife, it’s much much heavier.
