26 weeks = english cucumber



Oh my goodness! I can't believe Sweet Pea is already this big! Although sometimes it does feel like it when s/he is kicking around in there! Just this morning s/he was kicking me right below ribs on my right side and it was unreal. It doesn't seem like Sweet Pea should be able to reach all the way up there already!! But I'm almost to my 3rd trimester (just 2 more days!) so I guess it's time for s/he to be getting bigger! =)

From babycenter.com: How your baby's growing-

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.
