There are a few exciting things going on during Week 26. Linc and I went on our Labor and Delivery Tour at our hospital the other night and I have an appointment to interview some pediatricians later on. Recently, it seems I have an entire turkey shoved under my skin (left over from Thanksgiving) and am once again being reminded (daily) from coworkers how HUGE I am. You would think these ladies, who have had kids themselves, would understand that that is not something I want to hear. I am still feeling good though and every time I get depressed about my size I am reminded that there is a healthy, strong boy in there that needs me and he is clearly enjoying the changes my body is going through to keep him cooking for a few more weeks!
No wonder my back hurts all the time! Darn beach ball...
As far as our little man goes, here are a few things I learned from my weekly email:
- He has eyelashes on his eyelids, his eyes can move in their sockets, and he can tell light and dark, but he cannot discern specific objects yet.
- His senses are becoming fine-tuned and more responsive to light, sound, taste, smell, and touch.
- His skin is becoming smoother as body fat accumulates beneath the skin.
- His brain is developing further, and he can direct breathing movement.
During our L&D Tour I was able to snap a few photos of our hospital. It is a really gorgeous facility and I am excited to be able to use it in a few weeks! Now if only I could have gotten a picture of our fellow tour goer who was in active labor and already dilated to 4cm!! She was very uncomfortable during the tour but I have to give her major applause for keeping up with us. She told us she would be admitted within a few hours and have her baby hopefully by tomorrow night! Good luck!!

The nursery was empty- although we could hear babies from inside the recovery rooms!
They encourage the parents to "room in" with the newborns to get extra practice.
