Your baby is as tall as an English hothouse cucumber and weighs about 1 2/3 pounds. (Length: 14 inches, head to heel.) 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 about two to three days.How far along? Exactly 26 weeks

Weekly Wisdom: Call your doctor! Don't wait around until it gets unbearable like I did.
I hope all the mama's and soon-to-be mama's had a wonderful Mother's day! My first was great :) Jordan brought me some really pretty gerbera daisies that we're going to plant in our yard.
I forgot to update about my doctor's appointment last week. Everything is going great! Sophia's heart rate sounded nice and loud (I missed what he said what the BPM was) and I still weigh less now than I did at my first appointment. He said my weight gain has been "fantastic" and to keep doing whatever I'm doing. I have no idea what I'm doing :) I guess I'm just eating much healthier. He also advised us to get enrolled in some birthing classes and to get the nursery and whatever else we need to get done now...because I'm not going to have the energy that I do now for much longer. I'm totally in nesting mode so I have no prolem trying to get everything done now!
On Saturday, Jordan and I went to Babies R Us to register -- that was so overwhelming! We just went down every single aisle and scanned away. It was way harder than I thought...Jordan thought everything looked like a "boy" so we went back and forth over everything. I really didn't want to get a bunch of pink stuff just in case we have more little kiddies and we have a boy. We didn't even go near the clothes or register for any! Our closet is already almost full from all the clothes that we have already received from friends & family! I'm not over exaggerating! She'll be well dressed :)
We're also taking back the Evenflo stroller we bought. I SO knew this would happen, Jordan thinks it looks like it's for a boy. Of course he didn't like any of the other strollers at Babies R Us because they all look like a "boy" but he doesn't want to get a pink one either, there's no pleasing him! I'm still trying to talk him into letting us get the $300 Graco Rittenhouse Metrolite travel system, but I'm not sure that's going to happen :) I'm not even sure why it's $300 because all of the other Graco "Metrolite" travel systems are about $210. I'm thinking that it's an older fabric, so it's harder to get...there aren't even a lot of places that sell it in that fabric. I did a Google search for "Graco Rittenhouse Metrolitle Travel System" and there's an online store called www.babysupermarket.com that has it "on sale" for $289.99 and then www.walmart.com has it for $335.88. Not sure why there's such a huge price difference?
