"How your baby's growing: Your baby is really starting to fill up your
uterus. This week he weighs almost 2 pounds and is about 14.4 inches
long with his legs extended. He can now open and close his eyes, and he
sleeps and wakes at regular intervals. He may suck his fingers, and
although his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of
functioning — with assistance — if he were to be born prematurely.
Chalk up any rhythmic movement 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 isn't bothersome to him, so enjoy the tickle.
With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active
now. Wonder what he's thinking?"
I'm 27 weeks! Hooray! What an exciting feeling to be here! We have
every indication that this baby is staying put, but if he were born
soon, he would have a better than 90% chance of survival! I'm not
telling him, though. All he's hearing is Aren't you so comfy? Just have
a nice rest there on top of my lungs and bladder simultaneously.
Feeling a little giddy about this milestone, folks.
