Weekly Update - 26 Weeks

How your baby's growing: 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.



How am I feeling: Not bad but I've had a tummy bug this week. And heartburn. I don't know if it is related to the tummy sickness or just that time of the pregnancy but ugh! Luckily Tums is allowed and takes the edge off.
The belly feels tight but fine. Moya moves soooo much. :)
