26 Weeks Pregnant!



I am 6 months along- can you believe it?! Only 3 more to go and baby Owen will be here in our arms instead of in my tummy.  Hey and check it out- I am down to the double digits- only 95 days left!!


This is day number 185 and you're 26 weeks pregnant!

You have 95 days or 14 weeks left, and are 
66.1% of the way there.
Baby's age since conception is 171 days or 24 weeks. 
You are due on 11/13/2010.


How your baby's growing:
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 or eggplant) 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.

Let your spouse put an ear to your belly -- he might be able to pick up baby's heartbeat (no stethoscope required). Inside the womb, the formation of tiny capillaries is giving baby a healthy pink glow. Baby's also soaking up your antibodies, getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and baby will soon perfect the blink -- perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.
