26 Weeks

This past Thursday was 26 weeks! I would have posted, but we were in California visiting Matt and Vasha until last night. We had tons of fun, but that's a (long) post for another day. I still have to get the Vegas trip up here. Back to 26 weeks...according to all of my "info" he SHOULD be about 14 inches long and weigh a little over a pound and a half. We know neither of those are true for Davis. 2 weeks ago, he weighed a full 2 pounds and was longer than 14 inches, though we aren't sure of the exact measurment. He's now breathing in/out the amniotic fluid and his hearing is more sensitive. He is now able to hear conversations we are having. I love that. We talk to him often. Now, he should REALLY be able to hear the differences in the words, rather than just the sounds.

He's still moving all over the place, off and on, ALL.DAY.LONG. I love it, but some of the movements are starting to hurt up under my ribs. I know this will only get worse...but I still love it! You can REALLY see the movements now too...from across the room. Poor Baby...he doesn't have much room to spread out in. One day last week, I was working with one of my patients who can actually talk, and he saw my stomach moving. I didn't think anything of it, but here's the conversation that followed:

Kid: Whas-in-you-shirt? (head turned to the side, with raised eyebrows)
Me: Nothing, why?
Kid: Is-movin'! (HUGE eyes!)
Me: It is?!
Kid: I-na-see!
Mom: RUDE!
Me: (laughing so hard) Remember...there's a baby in there. Like mommy used to have.
Kid: I-na-see!
Me: You can't see anything, we have to wait until it's time for him to come out. (shirt up - knowing he wasn't going to take that answer)
Kid: (put his eye up to my belly button) I-not-see-nusing in dere.

And, that was that. I love that kid. He's to funny...he's decided there's an alien in there and it's trying to get out. He watches too many movies. Oh well. He's 4. I'll let him have that one.

Before we left to go to the airport, we took our picture. I feel like I've really "grown" in the last 2 weeks...I always look back at all the pictures and compare and there is really a bigger difference between 24 and 26. Brandon said the same thing...and so did my mom. Here we were Thursday morning...

I'll be back in a few days (hopefully) with a Vegas post from our trip in December, and a CA post from this past weekend. I make no promises! If I don't make it back on before next week, we go back to see Dr. Tabor Tuesday, Feb. 2nd. I'll update then for sure!
