26 WEEKS and Counting....

So I'm 26 weeks as of Saturday (funny how you now track time in weeks - everything is how many weeks?) here's what Bagel is up to:
Your baby now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber), from head to heel. The nerve pathways in her ears are developing, which means her response to sounds is growing more consistent. Her lungs are developing now, too, as she continues to take small breaths of amniotic fluid — good practice for when she's born and takes that first breath of air. 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.

I love how these baby websites and books compare the growing fetus to fruits and vegetables. An English hothouse cucumber?? Are you kidding me?? I'll never look at a salad the same way again. And I have no comment on the last sentence - who knew? Of course, Boyd believes our child will be an overachiever in all areas - including fetal development. Go figure....men!
