Clumsy at 27 weeks

I seem to have become stupid as this pregnancy flies by. All of a sudden I'm having trouble thinking of words I'm trying to say, or I totally lose my train of thought in the middle of a sentence! What in the world?! For example, I typed the second sentence above and when I read over it I had typed "foods" instead of "words". I'm becoming stupid. Hopefully that'll disappear after pregnancy. :)

I'm so excited to report that I scheduled my maternity pictures!!! Yippy!!! I wasn't going to take any, but the girls at work continued to insist. Plus, I know two people who had them done and they were absolutely beautiful. So I figured I should take a few so I at least have this time saved as a memory. However, the negative side of having maternity pictures made.... I'm now stressing that my belly button is going to pop out and/or I'll have stretch marks by the time it's picture time. We don't take them until early January -- she wanted to wait until I am around 35 weeks. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed my belly continues to behave. And we tentatively scheduled newborn pictures!!!! Oh my gosh, I can hardly wait!!!!

Update from "What to Expect When You're Expecting..."
Your baby graduates onto a new growth chart this week. No longer will she be measured crown to rump, but rather from head to toe. And this week that head-to-toe length is a full 15 inches (more than a foot long!). Your baby's weight is creeping up the charts as well, coming in at just over 2 lbs. And here's an interesting fetal factoid: Your baby has more taste buds now than she will have at birth. Which means that not only is your baby able to taste the difference in the amniotic fluid when you eat different foods, she might even react to it. For instance, some babies respond to spicy foods by hiccupping. Or by kicking when they get that spicy kick.
