Guess what? Guess what? Guess what? You and Mommy are now entering our THIRD and LAST trimester of this wonderful journey called pregnancy! Yay! You are now 27 WEEKS OLD today which means we will get to meet you in about 13 WEEKS...yippee! Let me post what BabyCenter has to say about you today and then I found this other site that I liked so I'll post that as well. I'll then talk about ALL the changes that Mommy's body is going through all because of You LiL One :]
How your baby's growing:
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.

| a cauliflower huh? they stink though :] hahaha! |
Here's what Baby2See has to say about my LiL Peanut today:
Week Twenty Seven: Eyes can open
You are 27 weeks pregnant. (fetal age 25 weeks)
•The fetus weighs almost 2 pounds now and is about 14.5 inches long.
•Baby now weighs about 875 grams and is 36.5 cm in length.
•The head is over 2.5 inches (7cm) in diameter.
•Your baby's hearing continues to develop.
•The eyes can blink, open and close.
Welcome to the third trimester. Congratulations! You have made it 2/3 of the way through. It may be hard to believe, but your baby now appears much like he or she will look like at birth. Baby now has eyebrows and eyelashes and hair is growing everyday. The muscle tone is improving and his or her body is getting plumper.
Your little one's brain continues its rapid growth. Don't forget to share music, conversation, and even books with your baby. Baby may start to recognize your voice as well as your partner, so be sure to say lots of nice things.
The retina at the back of your baby's eyes is beginning to develop. Those beautiful baby eyes can open now, and the baby will notice and may turn his or her head if you shine a flashlight against your belly.
At 27 weeks, your baby's length will have tripled or quadrupled from the 14 week mark. If your baby is born this week, the chances of survival is now at least 80 percent. However, serious complications are still possible.
I love how these sites gives you all these details about how babies are growing in your belly. And I know that every pregnancy is different and all but I still like reading the articles and getting an idea of what to expect and to also get an idea of what's going on inside my tummy.
