This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like 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 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.
Let me tell you - this child has not stopped moving for the past two days. Perhaps they have been the hiccups, I don't know. Regardless, it's been entertaining.
We're in Frankston for the weekend. That means I'm an evacuee! Brian thought it'd be best that I wasn't in Houston when we lost power and water. Apparently that's not good when you're pregnant. :) Fingers cross that it's not as bad as they predict.

are the evacuees okay?
Yup, we're good. My parents house is flooding (basically, only in MY room...). Carpet is soaked and what not, though the ground isn't flooding. We've got no idea what's like at our house though. According to a co-worker, there are 20+ trees down at the entrance to our subdivision, so I can only imagine what it's like there.
