Week 27 & 3rd Trimester!

Wow, 3rd trimester is here, unbelievable!!! What a milestone to accomplish knowing I'm at that home stretch of this pregnancy.

This week will be very quick since I'll be 28 weeks tomorrow. I at least wanted to throw in my 27th week baby & weekly survey.

Baby
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 to be 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.
