The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take two to three days
How far along? 26 weeks, we are on a 12 week countdown!
Weight Gain: 11 lbs., whoa crazy weight gain the past few weeks! Huge growth spurt! At last weeks appointment(25 weeks) my rather large belly was measuring 27-28 weeks!
Baby Size: Well if you have seen a recent belly pic, then you would hope for my sake that he is big! He is indeed! Pierce weighs in a very large 2 lbs. and 4 oz. and measures 15 inches! Basically he is the size of 28 weeker! At this rate, thank goodness for c-sections!
Maternity Clothes: Wearing them, loving them! I just found shower outfits which I am very excited about!
Gender: Team Blue! Yes, it is true his "goods" are still there!
Movement: He is a crazy dancing ninja! He kicks and punches, while flipping and twirling nonstop! This kid is truly amazing!
Sleep: I am actually sleeping quite well, and would be sleeping even better if Pierce's darling father wasn't snoring due to allergies!
Symptoms: Terrible acid reflux and heartburn, which we hope means hair! Sciatica, which means mommy has a hard time walking sometimes! Hopefully my chiropractor can fix that! Swollen fingers, my wedding rings no longer fit, so I need to find a plain band to wear! I look a fool with an indented white ring tan!
Best Moments this week: We traveled to DC, and P-man kicked the whole time to tell me he loves airplanes and travel!
Food Aversions: Pimentos...I know it sounds weird, but I usually like pimento cheese sandwiches and green olives stuffed with the red things, NOT THIS WEEK!
Food Cravings: Pecan Pie, Ranch on anything, and cornbread! You know all the healthy stuff!
What I miss: Having my best friend to share this pregnancy with, not a day goes by that I do not greive for Kelsey and Noah, but I hope Harper is using those sparkly wings to check on her momma!
What I am Looking forward to: My showers, Thanksgiving, Christmas and then Little Man will be here!!!
Milestones: 26 weeks already!?!?
