26 Weeks

Oh my, I'm 26 weeks today and there is no denying that I'm pregnant. I definitely feel pregnant since my belly is getting in the way of my being able to do stuff now. I organized the kitchen cabinet the other day and ended up sitting on the floor instead of bending over because it was so uncomfortable. I have also been having horrible back aches. Ouch! Sunday I was not feeling well I think I might have been having braxton-hicks contractions. Which I thought wasn't a huge deal until I was reading about it and I see says you should call your doctor. I figured I would call if I still felt the same way on Monday (I didn't) since I'm going to the doctor on Wed afternoon. I'm getting more excited since it's getting closer to meeting my little Laney. To be exact... 14 weeks! Depending on when she decides to come and if she decides to come on her own. I had a dream around the time I concieved that I would be pregnant and the baby would be born on 8-10, so we will see if she really comes on August 10th. HA HA, not counting on it. I'm actually hoping for a September birthday, of course by August I'd be happy with August. So here is what is going on with our little Laney bug.

Delana's ears are better developed and more sensitive this week, she may be able to hear my voice and also the person am talking with while we carry on a conversation. She is inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amonitic fluid which helps her lungs develop. These are similar to the breathing movements that will occur once she is born, these inhaling and exhaling movement help her to be able to breathe once she is born. She is continueing to gain fat, she now weighs about a pound and two thirds and is about 14 inches long (about the length of an English cucumber.)
