27 Weeks

You are now in the third trimester, and last, of your pregnancy! Your baby's crown-to-rump length is about 9.6 inches and your baby's total length is approximately 15.3 inches! Your baby now weighs about 2 pounds 3 ounces and is going to grow rapidly during this last trimester!

If your baby were born now, it would have an 85% chance of surviving. Even though your baby is still not fully developed, she would be well within the limits of premature viability. You still have approximately 13 weeks left of your pregnancy, and during this time your baby must continue to grow and develop. If your baby was born at this time, she would have several complications that would require special attention. Because babies do not have adequate amounts of fat at this time, your baby would have to be kept inside of an incubator for warmth. Because the air sacs in your baby's lungs do not yet have surfactant, she would require an artificial respirator. Your baby's brain, liver and immune system still need to develop more also.

Your baby can develop hiccups

Yea, third trimester. Time is flying. Joey and I bought the window coverings this weekend so those are up. We also shopped for a chair without luck. We will find it, eventually. Nothing much else new except that Joey got me sick. I have been trying not to take medicine but yesterday I resorted to taking some sudefed. Which helped but now I am developing chest congestion sooooo I may have to resort to taking Robitussin. YUCK. But I will probably end up being too stubborn because its discusting so we will see. Nothing much else new to report.
