At 27 weeks your baby weighs nearly 2 pounds and measures 14.5 inches from heel to toe.
Baby's eyes open and close, and he/she sleeps and wakes at regular intervals and may suck a finger or thumb. This is a baby in the womb, which is what I'm assuming your question is!
A baby already born who is about 27 weeks (or 6 months old) would weigh anywhere from 12 to 18 pounds on average.

Babies at 27 weeks can be different weighs, these are just by what my ticker said at that stage:
Weighs: 2.4 lbs
eyelashes are growing
starting to get covered in baby fat
What a baby development says:
* Those beautiful baby eyes can open now, and the baby will notice and turn her head if you shine hold a flashlight against your belly.
* The baby's skin is very wrinkled right now due to the fact that the skin grows faster that the fat layer underneath it. They won't really even up for a while after birth.
* The retina at the back of your baby's eyes is beginning to develop.
* Brain wave recordings show rapid eye movement now.
* The hair follicles on the skin are just now forming.
* Blood flows through the umbilical cord and through the baby's body within 30 seconds, traveling at 4 mph.
A baby born at 27 weeks has about a 60% chance of survival per NICU doctors. Ten more weeks and you will be considered term.
