Welcome to the Third Trimester

In the last week, I've had strangers guess I was four months pregnant and six months pregnant. Well, guess what world, I'm just starting my seventh month, I've finished my 27th week, and that puts me and baby B in the 3rd trimester!

Baby B is weighing in at approximately 1 kg/2.2lbs, and is about 35cm/13" long. The next three months will be spent accomplishing three goals:
Gaining weight
Gaining cognitive maturity
Maturing lungs

The most important step for BB's survival is maturing of the lungs. Although, already at 27 weeks, he or she has a 90% chance at surviving outside the womb with medical help. Amazing!
