26 weeks...

With fourteen weeks to go (which judging by the speed September went by, doesn't sound too long in the grand scheme of things) our baby one is now measuring in at a whopping 14ins. Flump’s hearing is developing swiftly. Mostly, the noise that's being heard will be the swishing of my blood, the beat of my heart, the gurgling of my stomach and other weird and wonderful body noises. Baby's eyes begin to open around now and brain development is intense at this stage.

So many cute things to write about, like: if we go to a firework display and the baby will jump at the bangs! We've been told if we play music repeatedly the baby will become familiar to it and recognise it outside of the womb. So if we have many sleepless nights, the plan is to use these songs we've been killing ourselves with!!

The interesting thing is this: all the websites say Flump now weighs in at a little more than 760g...well, two weeks ago our child was 745g so I imagine the weight has just been piling on since then. The sonographer didn't seem concerned, neither did my midwife so I won't worry until they do...maybe I'll just give birth to a heifer!
