"Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education" Mark Twain

Today marks the first day of our last week of our second trimester, and WOW are the weeks really starting to fly by now. We have so many things piling up on our to-do lists that we don't even know where to start.

Here is just the smallest little sample of what I mean:

- Select and purchase baby furniture
- Register
- Research and select a really, really, really, REALLY good pediatrician
- Sign up for lamaze classes (and actually go to them!)
- Decide on insurance for Chickie
- Decide on maternity leave

And the list just goes on and on and on ...

Anyways, while we're busy procrastinating, here is what Chickie is up to in week 27:

- Stretching in at 13.6 to 14.8 inches from head to toe
- Weighing in at 1.5 to 2.5 pounds
- Breathing!! (it's amniotic fluid, not air, but it still counts)
- Practicing inhaling and exhaling with his/her rapidly developing lungs
- Showing brain activity!

We're sure glad our little cauliflower is putting that college education to good use, otherwise, we'd get absolutely nothing done around here ;)
