It's Going By So Fast!

98 days... that's all the time we have left until we become a family of 3 (give or take 2 weeks). I can't believe how fast it's going!

We have our monthly appointment tomorrow morning at 8:45. Probably just the usual quick checkup.

We started our Natural Childbirth class this past Sunday and have the second (and final) class this coming Sunday. It was pretty interesting! We got to see a few videos of babies being born and we learned some pain coping positions and breathing tips. Now let's see if we remember then on the big day!

On October 6th, we also have a Newborn Class. I think I feel pretty good about my newborn skills, but Eric's never been around little munchkins so this will be great for him and a good refresher for me. After all, Emma's 5 1/2 so it's been a while for me too!

WHAT'S BABY HOLM UP TO?
Week 26

The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. She may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. 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. And she's continuing to put on baby fat. She 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.
