It's official. I am now in my third and final trimester! You would think I would be more excited, but in the last week or so I have started to feel a bit uncomfortable as I continue to grow, and I realized that I have nearly THREE months to go - during which I will only get bigger and even more uncomfortable!
So what happens during the third trimester? A huge list of things, but I will only address the few things happening in/around week 28, since that's where we are now.
- The little guy now weighs approximately two and half pounds
- He is about 15 inches long in total
- The many folds of the brain are continuing to develop while the amount of brain tissue increases
- His lungs can now breathe air
- My lungs need to absorb 20% more oxygen with each breath to supply enough for the baby
Pretty cool stuff. Really though, he is just hanging out in there, squirming and kicking up a storm and getting fatter and fatter everyday! Hooray for chunky fat babies! (And chunky mamas too - man oh man, I just keep getting bigger!)
