Rats! Foiled again!

So I was going to post pictures today. I've been taking them, just haven't posted them. But the photos on the site are down, so maybe later this week I'll get them up.

I've been SUPER busy, and probably have a lot to say, but I can't remember now. Anyway, here's what's happening for week 27:

Your baby has doubled his weight in the past month and is the size of a bag of flour. He now weighs almost 2 1/2 pounds. His total length is nearly fifteen inches. Your baby's lungs are now capable of breathing air! This is big news. It means if the baby is born from now on, he'll be able to survive with less medical intervention. Your baby's main job right now is to put the finishing touches on major organ systems, such as his brain, lungs, and liver. As you can probably tell, he's also working on gaining layers of fat. His body fat is about 2 to 3 percent. Your baby's eyes, which were covered by her eyelid folds at the sixth week of development, are capable of opening this week. His sucking and swallowing skills are improving.
