Hello Week 27...Hello Third Trimester

Brasen's lungs and immune system are maturing this week as he prepares for his grand entrance. If he were born today he would have an 85 percent chance of surviving as his lungs are capable of breathing air (with medical assistance, of course). Other exciting developments: Brasen's done a lot of growing over the past few months. His length has more than doubled in the past 15 weeks! And that's not the only thing growing—his brain tissue and neurons are all developing at a rapid pace. His brain waves are now firing away just like those of a newborn baby. Brasen's testes will have completely descended at this point. He now weighs in at approximately 14½ inches and just over 2 pounds.
