Week 26

Today starts my 26th week. Only 2 more weeks until I start my 3rd trimester (pending that the Dr doesn't move up the due date on my next appointment on the 15th). She has been moving like crazy. Kyle still hasn't been able to feel her move yet. Everytime I tell him to put his hand there, she stops moving. He did get to see her move though. I'm sure he'll be able to feel her soon though.

How your baby's growing:
The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. She may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. She's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of her lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when she's born and takes that first gulp of air. And she's continuing to put on baby fat. She now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel.
