27 Weeks & Counting...
This week marked 27 weeks into pregnancy.Physically, there is not much changes except I look more "rounded". My legs begins to swell if I walk too much during the day. Other than that, I look the same. (I hope..lol!)How is baby doing this week?Definitely, she is more active. I could feel her kick getting stronger each day and sometimes, I could feel a tickling sensation...hmm..I am not sure if it is her fingers or her feet but it is kind of itchy tho. However, I enjoyed each movement felt and I guess I will miss this feeling when she is out of my womb. It is like a bonding between us, something which a dad will never experience.God's creation is really amazing. I am amazed by the fact that He could place a new life and grow them in our small womb. Sometimes, I feel we (Women) should feel honored to be given this task by Him to bring new life into His kingdom. Daddy reading this, don't feel jealous cos you have your role to play too. Haha.As I google to check on Fetal development this week, I realised that by week 27, there is a lot of visual development all around. The baby is now able to open and close their eyes, with more maturation of their retinas. They have also learn to soothe itself and can now suck its thumb when it wants to. They are still breathing the amniotic fluid in and out of its lungs, practicing for those all important first breathe when it is born. They are less skinny now as fats are forming under its skin and around its vital organs.28 weeks next and it will mark my end of 2nd trimester.
