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.

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.
