It's not really that big of a deal but hearing that you have 14 weeks left vs 15 weeks left...sure does make it feel like someone pushed fast forward on you!!
Here's what the 26 week update has to say:
"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. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days."
Our little green bean is doing great and the heartbeat was at 156 BPM-according to the Dr that's just great-yeah! She says everything is still measuring good and seems to be going well.
We have our next appointment in about 3 weeks and will be doing the glucose test for Gestational Diabetes-freaks me out a little so we're really hoping we don't have that issue. Keep your fingers crossed and the juju flowing!
Today I'm spending the day scrap booking with the girls while Matt goes hiking with Maddie. The rest of our weekend will be spent clearing out what will be the baby's room and finishing taking down all the Christmas decorations-neither task is all that fun I'm afraid. We're definitely looking forward to starting work on the nursery, just not all the work leading up to it! : )
Happy Saturday Everyone!
