Now You're My Whole Life

How far along? 27 weeks Baby:  Sweet Maggie is as big as a rutabaga (around 14 inches and 1.5 - 2.5 lbs). She is continuing to grow and her brain is developing even more now.

Stretch marks?  The belly is stretchmark free thus far!  Sleep:  I can fall asleep anywhere, but staying asleep is another story.
