Milestone:  She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.

Fetal Fotos, 26 Weeks, Daddy & Presley...

So on Thursday afternoon we went to Fetal Fotos to see our Baby Girl. She has gotten so big from last time we were there. She looks like a newborn, with the chubby cheeks and all. She is still in love with having her hand by head. She still is my drama queen, very active little girl. There picture disk maker wasnt working so they saved all our photos and they are going to be mailing me a disk with all the photos. I cant wait to share them with all of you. She has her mommy and daddy's attitude. I say this because she was flipping us all off. No joke in the ultrasound video you see her bending every finger all at once except her middle one. It was funny, she did that after we pushed on ym tummy for a bit to try to get her to move her arm down and snap there goes the finger. She's starting young, I'm going to have to watch that. Anyways.... once I get the pics I will write up a new post with the pics on it.

Saturday was my 26 weeks, I can't believe we are already this far. It feels like just yesterday I took that pregnancy test. We are now in the double digits until our due date. Its coming up so fast, she's going to be here before we know it. I feel like if I blink it will be here, thats how fast it seems to be going. That afternoon was the first time Robb felt Presley kick. It was the most exciting thing to have him be able to feel her. I'm so glad he was able to. Reality is about to kick in for him that she's really in there and she's going to be here in 3 months. Anyways... here is my weekly survey.

How far along: 26 weeks and 2 days

Milestone:  The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. She may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. She's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of her lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when she's born and takes that first gulp of air. And she's continuing to put on baby fat.

25 weeks and 2 days...

How far along: 25 weeks and 2 days
How Big: Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but she's beginning to exchange her long, lean look for some baby fat. As she does, her wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and she'll start to look more and more like a newborn.

Weight Gain: yes I know I have gained prob. 22lbs.
Stretch Marks: Nothing that I can see yet
Maternity Clothes: all pants now, alot of maternity shirts
Sleep: Wish I could have more of it. I feel like once I get into a really good deep sleep its time to wake up for work
Symptoms: Swollen veins in my left leg, which make my leg very sore
Best Moment this Week: seeing all the clothes my mom has bought for presley and the super cute ones from Hawaii.
Food Cravings: PEEPS

Food dislikes: frozen meals still, and I think will cont to be.
Gender: Still my little Princess
Movement: she loves to move around, still havent gotten Robb to feel her yet.
What I miss: fitting into cute spring clothes
Belly Button: still normal :)
What I am looking forward to: This week we will be hitting the double digits on days left until Presley's due date. Robb's birthday party on the 25th, Robb's 30th birthday on the 29th, and I can't wait for 3rd trimester to start on March 31st.
Milestone:  She's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.

24 weeks...

I can't believe we only have 16 more weeks (roughly) until Presley is going to be here! I can't wait!!

How far along: 24 weeks
How Big: Presley's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts her at just over a pound. Since she's almost a foot long picture a ear of corn. she cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but her body is filling out proportionally and she'll soon start to plump up.

Weight Gain: yes just got weighed on Tuesday and I have gained 19 pounds since my first weigh in on December 8th, 2011.
Stretch Marks: Nothing that I can see yet
Maternity Clothes: all pants now, some maternity shirts
Sleep: Not sleeping good this week, all I want to do is lay on my tummy cause thats the only time I feel comfortable this week. I guess no more laying on my tummy until Presley gets here.
Symptoms: heartburn pretty much every day no matter what I eat or drink
Best Moment this Week: Buying Presley more clothes and having my Uncle Dave come over and sheetrocked the ceiling of Presley's closet, now I just need to get Robbie to finish the rest.
Food Cravings: Sweet tart Gummies still. YUMMY

Food dislikes: frozen meals still, I think that will always be my dislike through this pregnancy
Gender: TEAM PINK, Honey and I love being ahead of the boys again.
Movement: she's a little mover for sure, trying to keep track when so that we can go back to fetal fotos to see her.
What I miss: Snowboarding, we got tons of snow the last two days and all I can think about is boarding.
Belly Button: still normal
What I am looking forward to: We only have a few more weeks left of second trimester. I'm excited for the 3rd trimester because it means we are getting so close to meeting her. Oh yeah and going to start out 3rd trimester class on April 5th.
Milestone:  Her brain is also growing quickly now, and her taste buds are continuing to develop. Her lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help her air sacs inflate once she hits the outside world. Her skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
