26 Weeks! 14 to go!

Here's what they say is happening this past week...

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. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take two to three days.

So he officially has his testes! How nice :)

Getting ready to start the last trimester! Wow time is really flying now! Our kitchen cabinets are due in this week, which is perfect so we can start tearing out the old kitchen over Thanksgiving since we have no major plans other than attending the Huskers last home game this season! Jon has now changed all doors in the house to white doors with white trim! Exciting! I already feel as if I'm living in a newer house! Just wondering why we didn't make such improvements year ago...Next up after kitchen, painting, and new carpet, and then we are done for awhile! Of course we'll have baby then to occupy our time!

Love to all! More pics to come soon as everyone says my belly is really growing now!
