Well I am now at 26 weeks! I am feeling great too! The hip and leg issues that I had been having seemed to have worked themselves out. They generally only return if I physically over exert myself. I also seem to have the occasional pregnancy insomnia but its nothing that I cannot handle. The same thing happened with Abby and I just make sure to take the time to take a nap during the day. Other then that I am great.

The Little Marshmallow is doing great, moving often and with more force. I had another check up and glucose test yesterday and everything looks great. I was able to get my OB to do an ultrasound in office, but nothing came of it. The Little Marshmallow still has his or hers legs crossed and refused to move. Every time she tried to get a view from the front the little one would move its head into our view. Oh well, what can you do! The important thing is that the Little Marshmallow is healthy and doing well! We will have our official third trimester ultrasound soon, so hopefully we will know then.

At 26 weeks, these are the changes that have occured. Lots of growing happening!

• At 26 weeks the little Marshmallow is about 14.5 inches long and weighs about 2 pounds. From this point, until about 36 weeks, our little one will begin to pack on the weigh and grow exponentially.
• Our Little Marshmallows bones continue with the ossification process, which means they continue to harden.
• Our Little Marshmallows veins can now be seen through the skin, although at this point the skin begins to change from transparent to opaque.
• Hearing is now well developed and our little one can now hear noises around them, both inside and outside of the uterus. The baby may begin to respond to loud noises outside of the uterus and is learning the sound of mommy and daddy’s voice.
• The uterus now also allows some light in, giving our little one the ability to see light and dark. Some babies may even turn to face the sun when mom is outside for longer periods of time.

So much is happening and changing, its incredible! Only 14 more weeks and our Little Marshmallow will be here. Its hard to imagine. It feels like just yesterday I found out that I was pregnant. Time flies, but I am doing my best to make sure that I enjoy every moment of it.
