Week 26

My hip pain is back, and now i also feel like my stomach is pulling, just getting bigger.  Also i've developed lower back pain.  So now my side of the bed has two regular pillows and pillow with arms and my memory foam so I can sleep upright, and my hips dont wake me up through out the night.  I finally felt the "alien effect" just once and I didn't get to see it, but it felt so weird!!  Anyway I will be putting up my weekly VLOG tonight on youtube so there will probably be more details in there. 

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.
