Week 26: Eye see YOU!
Fetal development in pregnancy week 26:fetus in sixth month At long last, your little swimmer can see the womb! Your miracle’s little eyelids have finally separated (they were fused closed previously) and they’re probably having their first moments of sight as you read this (or maybe it already happened while you were brushing your teeth or watching Oprah or something). In addition to seeing their little studio in your belly, they’ve recently acquired the ability to say “yes” and “no” in rudimentary sign language as they can now move their head back and forth. This is also the time where your little super star’s head hair is starting to grow! A cute little cowlick or two may be springing into position right now, getting ready for years of cute-but-stubborn bed-head. Also, their toenails have grown in and you little raisin continues to slowly pile up fat beneath their still-loose skin. Most importantly, brain tissue and neurons are all developing at a rapid pace, increasing their (genius-level?) brain activity and will continue to function at accelerated levels for the first seven to eight years of childhood!
Another week has gone by and I'm 1 week closer to meeting my little girl. Oh that sounds so wonderful right now.
She is our little acrobate that's for sure. She loves to kick and move and let us know she is in there. This morning my alarm went off, and I snoozed it, and then my second alarm went off and I snoozed it, by the time it went off for the 4 time, she was kicking me unmercifully. I think she was telling me to shut that annoying noise off and get up. LOL I got up and I'm assuming she went back to sleep. That's my girl.
She is back to kicking or punching not sure, she kicks on one side and then punches on the complete opposite side. Not sure what is up and what is down. Ha
She is close to my ribs though, and that somewhat hurts, especially when i'm at work sitting down. I think she wants to hurry up and come out to meet her mom and dad. I'm sure she is just as excited as we are. Actually she is probably annoyed by the poking and prodding and noise that all she is doing is telling us to shuttup.
I feel like every day I wake up my belly has protruded just a little more then the day before. It's heavy, and I feel like I could fall forward if I don't lean back enough. Not really but you get the point of it. It just never stops growing, I'm not exactly wanting to know what it looks like at 39 weeks, if I make it that long. My goal is 2 weeks early, but I doubt the baby has the same goals as me.
The countdown is still going on, 14 weeks and 98 days. Atleast we are under 100 days. That was an exciting thing for us.
An old friend of mine was due to have her baby last Friday BUT I haven't been able to get on Myspace so it's really bothering me. Hopefully Friday we will have our internet at home up and running, until then Myspace is off limits. :(
Okay well I need to get back to work, I just wanted to let you all know that I have 14 weeks left and I'm counting down every day. The excitement is growing every minute.
Oh we did get the Bassinet, changing table and crib. I bought it from a friends friend. The bassinet is beautifully white and frilly, I LOVE it. I'll have to post a picture soon.
Take care all you bloggers, and Melissa your baby is beautiful!!!!
