Week 26

The most exciting thing happened this week! Jason felt the baby move! YAY! I have never been more excited about the baby moving (well, except when I felt it for the first time) but now she is moving to the point where he can feel it too!



Besides that, nothing has been to the nursery, besides it being painted. I worked really hard on sanding and repainting a crib that originally was Jasons when he was a baby, but I am starting to be skeptical about it's safety. We may just end up purchasing one.



And my friend Jennifer gave me a lot of baby clothes that her two year old daughter has grown out of, so Jason and I enjoyed going through that, washing them, and hanging them up! Baby girl clothes are SO cute!



It is exciting because I have two friends that are also pregnant! They are a little behind me, but within a few months! It really is all going by so very fast. She will be here before we know it!



At this point the baby is: as tall as an English hothouse cucumber and weighs about 1 2/3 pounds. (Length: 14 inches, head to heel.) ummm.... surely they meant 12 pounds, right? I mean what else could cause the many other pounds?? :)



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 is born and takes that first gulp of air.



And that is exactly why my Iphone was a great investment- It lets me play classical music and I just play it ontop of my belly. haha.

Just a few more weeks until I get to see my baby again on the sonogram machine! :)
