3rd semester - 27 week pregnancy

Today, I enter my 3rd semester and the 27 week pregnancy.

My Baby's Development (according to verybestbaby.com) This week marks the beginning of the third trimester — and a big developmental change as Baby's fused eyelids finally open. The lids have been closed since early pregnancy to protect the developing retina at the back of the eye. The retina develops its normal layers during this week. Although Baby may not have grown much taller, she now weighs more than two pounds (907 grams). Right now, your baby looks like she will at birth, just a little thinner and smaller. Other developmental changes include:

• Lungs, liver and immune system are still developing.
• As hearing continues to develop, some scientists suggest Baby may start to recognize your voice, although sounds may be muffled because waxy coating still covers the ears.
• Response to sound will become more pronounced as the development of the auditory nerve is completed.
• Baby's brain continues to grow and develop rapidly.

Elephant's legs

No, they are not the elephant's legs, look like ones but they're mine! :-(

Tracking my weight.

Even if it's touching the edge, so far I'm still in the normal weight gain recommended by doctors for best health (the yellow area).

100 days to go!

100 days to go before our meeting, my little baby.

Every day now you give me some kicks that make me so happy. Yesterday night, I couldn't sleep and I felt that you weren't asleep as well. Cause you kicked and kicked, you moved to the left to the right... you wanted to play, didn't you little baby.

Tomorrow I will be able to 'see' you through ultrasound. You may not be able to see me but I'm sure that you feel our presence.

I long to hold you close in my arms....

Only 100 days to go!

Where are my toes?

My baby

Lung development takes a big leap forward this week, as Baby’s body manufactures a wetting agent that helps keep the lungs from sticking together. Blood vessels and air sacs are continuing to develop in the lungs as well.

She also:

• has a fully formed inner ear • can now orient herself, realizing when she is upside down or right side up

It's a girl!!!

My baby @ 19 weeks pregnant - ma petite princesse à 19 SG

Here I am in the mid of my 2nd semester. I'm so grateful that everything seemed to go quite smoothly, no big problem what so ever. I will start to write a little bit of my every day life here, for my personal records and updates for my family and friends whereever they are.

I went through the 2nd ultrasound early June and it was confirmed that I'm having a baby girl. All the measures are on the averages, my little princess is neither too big nor too small, l'idéale quoi!
