Week 26

The network of nerves in Elouise's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. She may now be able to hear both mine and Adams voice as we talk 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 (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel.We go back to the doctor on Thursday to have a 4D ultrasound and for my glucose test.... fun had by all!
