26 weeks...


Lily at 26 weeks!
You can see her precious face on the left side of this picture...looks like she's pretty cozy in there snuggling up to her momma! :)

This week, the network of nerves in Lily's ears are better developing and are more sensitive than before. She's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of her lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when she's born and takes that first gulp of air. She is continuing to put on more baby fat...weighing in at 2 lbs and 1 oz this week and measures about 14 inches from head to heel!
Wow...she is getting so big!
