26 weeks and counting....

I went to my 26 week check up today. My doctor said that everything looks good, my iron levels are low so he does having me take a iron supplement. I go back in 4 weeks in Janurary and then after that i will be going every 2 weeks up intell i have this little guy!I get emails each week telling me where my baby is at each week. Here is our baby at 26 weeks.
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.
