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.
This is my last week in the 2nd trimester. Next Friday I will be bidding it adieu and moving into the 3rd and final tri. I am still feeling fine. Frequent back discomfort, increasing difficulty in tying shoes and crossing legs. Oh, and according to Rob I sigh a lot. I have no idea what he's talking about. Received the bedding in the mail yesterday. Looks nice but I haven't taken it out of the package. The glider is set to arrive next week sometime. Woo hoo!
