26 weeks is here, and Bradley is growing up quick! Here are the updates: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.
My most recent weigh-in shows that I am up about 11lbs now (and counting). We are very much looking forward to the 3d ultrasound in 2 weeks. In a few days I should be able to pick up the crib bedding I ordered, and I plan to order the crib within the next few weeks. I am going to make a trip to Hobby Lobby today to pick up some crafting ideas I had for nursery decorations!
It's hard to believe he's so big already! Sounds like you will have his nursery ready very soon! June is not far away at all!!!
