Here's our little guy at 27 weeks. Looking cute and healthy! He now weighs 2 pounds and 9 oz. He's growing strong! We love him so much and are looking forward to seeing him in 3-D during our next ultrasound!! We are really hoping to get some good pics. He's been in the head-down position for the last month or more. Everything is going really well! Hello 3rd Trimester!!!
Here's a look at his development for week 27!
The baby is about 14.5 inches long and weighs over two pounds by now. The baby’s skin is wrinkled by floating in water and will remain this way until a few weeks after the baby is born as the skin slowly stretches out. The retina develops normal layers which later help in the reception of light images. These layers receive light and images and transmit the information to the brain for interpretation. The membrane that used to cover your baby’s eyes will separate at this stage to form eyelids. A new visual discovery begins for the baby and the baby’s eyes are mostly blue at this stage which will change into their true color some time after birth. The baby also develops a waking and sleeping pattern which might not be the same as your cycle. Some experts believe that the baby begins to dream by the 28th week. No one knows what they dream about but the brain remains active and the characteristic grooves on the brain surface start appearing with the development of more brain tissues. You might experience the baby hiccupping quite frequently now as the baby’s lungs are maturing and the baby is learning to breathe normally.
