Yesterday I was officially 26 wks pregnant....it seems unreal! Although, I am feeling very pregnant these days......getting hard to tie my shoe,find a comfortable position at night and people have started saying things like "looks like you are gonna have that baby soon".......umm, well I have 12wks until my c-section! 12 weeks.....that is not a very long time! There is soooo much to do and I am starting to feel a little overwhelmed!
A contractor did come over and discuss the basement yesterday (yeah!) He will give us a bid sometime next week...We have to build a bedroom for Alexis, so the baby will have a bedroom. He will also be turning our half bath into a full bath downstairs...so our next project will be moving all of the junk out of the basement!
Other news~ took alexis to an orthopedic surgeon yesterday....her trampoline injury hasnt healed yet (been 2 months!)They took x-rays and still could not see why she was still in pain. They sent us out for an MRI and we got the results shortly after. She has a stress fracture on the bone between the tibia and her heel. She has to wear a lovely "boot" for about a month. Hopefully she will be healed by the time Club volleyball tryouts occur in mid-november.
Here is what the baby is up to at 26 wks:
Your baby weighs more than 2 lbs (1000g), measures 9.6 inches from crown to rump (24cm) and its total length is about 15.3 inches (34cm). If your baby were born now, she would have about an 85% chance of surviving. Nonetheless, your baby still needs another 13 weeks of in utero development to be considered full term.
Your baby's eyes, no longer fused shut, are now open.
Your baby's skin still has a very wrinkled appearance, but it is protected and nourished by the covering of vernix, a waxy coating that keeps the skin supple.
Your baby looks almost like a full term baby, but is still much thinner and smaller than she will be at birth.
