Week 26! 14 Weeks to Go!

Okay, no need to freak out.... But in roughly three and a half months I will be holding my beautiful son... Freaking OUT! I am so excited, and anxious. Today I am kind of going crazy. It is becoming all so real. Time is racing by, and I love it. But at the same time... I want to keep my little man inside, safe and warm.. And where no one else can hold him... Selfish I know.. But at least I am honest! I have my next appointment at my OB's on Monday, kind of looking forward to that! Get to hear my baby boy's heartbeat.

SO, where is the little Devil in terms of growth? Well... 
The network of nerves in his ears are much better developed now and more sensitive. He can now hear my voice clearly and the voices of those I have close conversations with. His little lungs are practicing breathing my inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid. HE is practicing for that first big breath of air. He is continuing to put on baby fat. The weight is coming on slowly right now, but in a few weeks he will really start packing on the weight. He measures roughly two pounds and about 14 inches long.
And since he is definitely a boy, his testicles are beginning their journey to his scrotum. That journey may take days, they might not even be down at birth. But will be there very soon after.
Another big development... He can SEE!! He can't see very much except for shadows but his little eyeballs are working.
That is all for this week... Next week starts the Third Trimester! We are coming into the home stretch! Hope you all have a great weekend, I know I will! See you next week!!
