Baby is the size of a head of lettuce! Charlotte is still growing in the 13.6- to 14.8-inch and 1.5- to 2.5-pound range, and while her eyes are still forming during week 26, they'll open soon. Hello, baby! Her eyelashes have grown in, too, and she's getting her immune system ready for the outside world by getting antibodies from you. Plus, baby's little lungs are starting to produce surfactant, the fatty substance that coats the inside lining of the lungs' tiny air sacs, helping them to expand during breathing. And her skin has developed its color as well, because her body is now making melanin.
Total weight gain: up 12.5 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Yes! I might go get a couple more tops this weekend. Maybe someone is having a sale??
Stretch marks? No.
Sleep: Its been pretty good this week.
Best moment this week: Carpet is in! AND...J moved all the furniture that didn't belong in our dining room back to the appropriate rooms. Which means...we officially have a nursery and a play room. {Post on that soon...}
Miss anything? Nope.
Movement: Yes! Charlotte is getting stronger and stronger. Her moving in there is a very strange sensation!
Food cravings: Nothing really this week.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!
Gender: Sweet Charlotte Faye.
Labor Signs: No.
Symptoms: Round ligament pain, lower back pain (from laying around), Braxton Hicks, LEG CRAMPS at night {Seriously, any suggestions on the leg cramps??}!!
Belly Button in or out? In, but just barely.
