Little Ears Are Listening - 26 week update :)


  • My baby weighs a little less than 2 pounds now.
  • My babymeasures about 14 inches.
  • Its weight will more than triple between now and birth as it rapidly puts on baby fat. It'll need that fat to help adjust to colder temperatures outside the womb and as a source of energy and calories in the first days of life.
  • It's not uncommon for newborns, especially those who are breastfed, to lose weight (sometimes as much as 10 percent of their birth weight) in the first week after birth.
  • If I'm having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.
  • James should start talking to it now, it is starting to recognize other people's voices, other than my own.
  • It is more sensitive to sound now as the network of nerves in its ears are developing!
