26 weeks is here! And with this week comes the beautiful milestone that we are now under 100 days left to go! I remember with Ava the next few weeks FLEW by. Time has pretty much flown this whole pregnancy (i'm totally jinxing it right now) but i'm really hoping I don't get swelling like I did with Ava in those last few weeks again. That would be miseeeerrrableeeee with a two year old to run after.
So now onto the little man! :) Baby Center says that the network of nerves in his ears are better developed now and much more sensitive which allows him to hear all the fabulous conversations I have on a daily basis. He is also inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid which is essential for the development of his lungs. These breathing movements are good practice for that first breath of air he will take once these 99 days (or so) have passed. :) He is continuing to put on that beautiful baby fat and they say he weighs about a pound and two-thirds. He is now measuring 14 inches----the size of an English hothouse cucumber (hehe) from head to heel. What an exciting week of baby growth!
Not too much going on this week. I'm going to take Ava's valentines day pictures---I was FINALLY able to set up my backdrop stand and white seamless paper yesterday. As you can see, I took a few more self maternity pics of the bump. They turned out ok---getting the focus right is really difficult when you don't have a stand in to help, but it's a learning process I suppose. :)
Happy under 100 days! :)
Love and Ava hugs,
Rachel
