Week 26

The network of nerves in our baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. She may now be able to hear both my voice and Deven's as we 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.

  1. More belly pictures please! Some of us don't get to see you on a regular basis and I don't want to miss out on anything :)

  2. Okay, so this week she doesn't look so much like me, but I think it's just the angle.
