My Pregnancy: Week 26

Baby's now the size of an English cucumber!

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'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 from head to heel.

I'm afraid there's not much to report on this week other than I have been feeling pretty good.  My energy levels are up and I am loving life!  My face is starting to break out more and more recently.  But if this follows the same pattern it did when I was pregnant with Leila, this is only the beginning!
