October 1 (week 27) Thomas’s taste buds continue to form. I can taste sweet things now. My mom likes chocolate, and so do I. A bright light can be seen through my mommy’s tummy. I have eyelashes and eyebrows now. My fingerprints are fully formed. My toenails and fingernails are growing and may need to be clipped when I’m born. Mom may be feeling like a “Soccer Mom” now that her uterus is the size of a soccer ball. “How sweet to my tongue is your promise, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” (Psalm 119:103)
