So i am a little behind on the baby updates. This week i am at 26 weeks. Have been having some major braxton hicks contractions. Which are not painful, just very uncomfortable. They seem to happen more when i am walking around. So i am increasing my water intake and we'll see if they slow down. I got my results back from my gestational diabetes test from last Thursday. Looks like i passed with flying colors! If i was over 140, i would have had to do a three hour test. But my results came back at 102! So my next appt is June 18. After that i go to every two weeks! The time is coming quick!
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) 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.
