Week 27 - Third Trimester


Third Trimester!  It's hard to believe I started my third trimester this week.  It went really fast.  I think my body knows it's the third trimester and has decided to now be super tired again.  I've been exhausted this week!  I have started working out again; I've done prenatal pilates three times this week.  And I have to pee constantly.  I feel like I have to pee the minute I take a sip of water.  I've also noticed that although my belly is getting big, I don't really have any stretch marks yet.  I had a few from Claire show a little bit a few months ago near my belly button but nothing other than that thankfully. 

Natalie felt the baby move this week.  She was very excited.  She talks about the baby all the time and every time she gives me a kiss goodnight or when I/she leaves, she also kisses my belly.  She asks if the baby likes that she gives him kisses. :)  It's really cute.

Our baby boy now weighs little more than 2 pounds and ha a crown-to-rump lenght of about 9.5 inches.  Around this time, our baby's eyelids open.  He is beginning to open and close his eyes while still inside my uterus; the retinas are also beginning to grow.  During this week, the brain continues its rapid growth, and the lungs continue to grow.
