This is me at 26 weeks!
Still not "plumped-up" though...
Anyway, baby Eanna is fiercely moving inside my belly, especially when I'm about to sleep. Of course, this stops me from sleeping, because I couldn't wait till I feel the next movement... it's just so nice feeling my baby move! There was one time when my tummy was "rippling" and all, and I couldn't help but laugh and talk to little Eah!
According to BabyCenter.com
Your baby now weighs a little under 2 pounds and measures about 14 inches, from head to heel. The nerve pathways in her ears are developing, which means her response to sounds is growing more consistent. Her lungs are developing now, too, as she continues to take small breaths of amniotic fluid — good practice for when she's born and takes that first breath of air. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.
It also says something about my backpains too, of which I have been experiencing for a couple of weeks now...
If your back seems a little achy lately, you can thank pregnancy hormones (which are loosening up your joints and ligaments) and your shifting center of gravity. Walking, standing, or sitting for long periods, bending and lifting can all put a strain on your back. A warm bath — or cool compress — might bring relief. Or you may want to schedule a prenatal massage by a trained therapist. Use a pregnancy wedge when sleeping, to support your back and abdomen. Try to maintain good posture, which will help reduce the strain on your back, and always take care when bending and lifting. If you experience severe pain or numbness in any area of your body, call your practitioner.
Anyway, that's all for now. Hope that this weekend will be a fruitful and blessed one!
