27 Weeks - Third Trimester

It is soooo hard to believe that today starts my third trimester. It seems like yesterday that we found out we were pregnant, but yet so much has happened since then. Today was my last dose of Macrobid and I am finally back to my normal prenatal vitamins and other supplements. I am feeling good, aside from tiring more easily, and my vision seems to be improving. Things are clearer, although it takes a little longer for things to focus out of the right eye, and I still have the area that I am missing my vision in the upper right corner of my visual field. I am staying hopeful that my vision will continue to return and before too long will be back to normal. As for Camden, he is still in the head down position and kicks a lot, which I still love to feel!!! I am looking forward to his furniture coming in so that we can finally get started on the nursery. I have really tried to remain calm about his nursery (or lack there of) but now that this is the third trimester, I am starting to get a little antsy!!! Hopefully it will be here right around Thanksgiving - surely I can remain calm till then! : )

How our baby is growing:

This week,our baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with his legs extended. He's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing his eyes, and perhaps even sucking his fingers. With more brain tissue developing, our baby's brain is very active now. While his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if he were to be born now.
