27 weeks!

Last week of the 2nd trimester!! And if there was a big growth spurt between weeks 16 & 17 then between last week and this week was a second big growth spurt. Big belly means big baby. Logan should now be around 2 pounds, his lungs preparing to breath and his eyes opening. We've also read that his taste buds are more sensitive now than they will be for the rest of his life! Good timing since the trick or treaters didn't make away with all the candy : )

We weren't sure how the Brits would celebrate Halloween. The stores had decorations and candy out just like they would back in the States, but there was no evidence around town that Halloween night was nearing?? No spooky houses, no costumes, not even a jack-o-lantern in sight. I talked to a few people at work and apparently it all comes together on Halloween day. Sure enough, out came the pumpkins, the decorations and the trick or treaters!! Apparently they carve turnips too since pumpkins are expensive over here. We thought Logan would enjoy getting involved, so we dressed him up as a pumpkin : )
