Week 26

Hi everybody! We have had a good week. I've been feeling pretty good. I've had some back aches, but not too bad. The baby is moving around quite a bit and mornings are his/her busiest time. I've gained 17 lbs so far and have the worst sweet tooth!! I need a powdered donut and strawberry pop~tart intervention!!!

Development~
Well, around this time the baby starts to inhale and exhale small amounts of amniotic fluid, which helps her lungs develop. She weighs about 1 and 2/3 pounds and measures about 14 inches from head to heel. Think english cucumber!

Week 25!

Development~

Baby O is completely formed on the outside now. Head to heels, he/she is about 13 1/2 inches and 1 1/2 pounds. His/her spine is continuing to form and bones are continuing to harden. From now on he/she will be mostly just gaining weight and getting a little longer although the nervous system will continue to develop. The fingerprints have also formed completely and nostrils are beginning to open up. I'm also starting to get some baby fat.

Week 24!

Allsion & Jennifer

Baby O has gained about 4 ounces since last week, which puts her a little over a pound and about a foot long. Her brain is also growing quickly now, and her taste buds are continuing to develop.

Week 23!

Hi everyone! Well I'm officially 23 weeks. We are all doing really well. Although my mommy is a little tired right now. Our tummy is really growing. She says the lower part of our tummy is a little sore. She also says she can't wear any of her regular clothes anymore. What are clothes?

My blood vessels in my lungs are developing so I will be able to breath when I am born. The bones in my middle ear are beginning to harden, so my ears are becoming more sensative to sound. That's so I will be able to hear everyone talk to me. I can now suck my thumb if I want. It's very soothing.
