The following is from the 3D Pregnancy website:
"Baby's lungs and immune system are maturing this week as baby prepares for his grand entrance. If he were born today he would have an 85 percent chance of surviving as his lungs are capable of breathing air (with medical assistance, of course)."
The following is from WhatToExpect.com:
"Most babies this age, yours included, still like to snuggle in a slightly curled position inside the uterus (thus the term "fetal position"). Even so, beginning at this stage, your baby's length will be measured from top of head to toe — which makes your baby nearly a full 15 inches now. And at just over two pounds, he or she has doubled in weight from four weeks ago.
Your baby's auditory development (hearing) is progressing as the network of nerves to the ears matures. And even though the sounds your baby hears are muffled (thanks to the creamy coating of vernix covering those ears), he or she may recognize [your voices]. So this might be a good time to read and even sing to your baby (or rather, your belly) — and a good chance to start boning up on those nursery rhymes and lullabies you'll need to be repeating (and repeating) pretty soon. And while you're at it, here's another way to have some family fun at 27 weeks pregnant: If [someone] presses [their] ear to your belly,[they] might be able to hear the baby's heartbeat."
ALSO.... on the big news for this week from mama, Kyler has kicked me twice so hard that I jumped and one time it was in front of some people! They looked at me a little funny and I had to explain that my son just kicked me hard! LOL He is definitely going to be an active child! :)
