26 weeks -- English Hot House Cucumber

Max and Meggie and I still look at the What's In Your Tummy Mommy book.  I'm still on 6 this week, but next week we go to 7.  And that picture of a baby at 7 months is a picture of a pretty big baby!

The check up last week went well.  Everyone is doing just fine.  I still need a lot more rest than I did with Max or Meggie.  I'm still missing a fair number of dinners.  Yesterday I managed to make tomato bean soup (for dinner tomorrow night) and cauliflower curry in the crock pot (last night's dinner) but by the time dinner time came around, I was totally over the idea of food.  I made up for it with 2 breakfasts today.  :)

I've been enjoying reading this blog: http://alphamom.com/pregnancy/pregnancy-calendar/week-twenty-six/ and seeing the week by week updates.  I think eating a 2 pound box of chocolates this week to get a good idea of how the big Baby NoName is ranks as one of the top suggestions I've seen this week...

Looks like the big change with the baby this week is that her eyes can open.

And she is still VERY VERY active much of the time.  It is actually fairly rare for her to be calm when I am awake.  She seems to sleep around the same time I sleep, although she tends to sleep in during the mornings.  But most of the time during the day she's in their doing some sort of dance.

25 weeks -- rutabaga

Now I am a big fan of rutabaga (swede for those of you in the UK) but I can't see how 24 weeks is a pineapple and 25 weeks is a rutabaga.  That must be on weight and not length.  She's a little more than 13 inches long and she's got all of her senses now.  And it turns out her vocal cords will soon be fully functional (if untested) this week too.  I'm starting to have some heartburn so hopefully that means she'll have some hair when she is born.  There has to be an upside to the heartburn, right?

I've got a check up with the doctor tomorrow and hopefully that will be all good news...
