26 Weeks

Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. His weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but he's beginning to exchange his long, lean look for some baby fat. As he does, his wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and he'll start to look more and more like a newborn. he's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.

I had my 26 week appt. and the Dr. said everything looks really good. The baby is doing great and is right on track. He told me I am measuring about 34 weeks and I don't think I look that big! but oh well. When we went to the drs. he said all IHC hospitals starting as of OCT. 1 ARE NOT letting any children or visitors in because of the H1N1 (swine flu).I asked what about siblings to the baby and they said NO. I guess it is a good thing but a sad thing cause no one can come and see us until we come home :( I asked them when are they going to let them and they said probably in April when its over but they didn't know for sure yet. He said that all pregnant moms will have to have the flu shot and the H1N1 shot when it comes out. I got my flu shot yesturday and boy did I forget how bad it burns. I hope the H1N1 wont hurt that bad. Now I am going every 2 weeks. GOSH this pregnancy is going way to fast. We are so excited for Baby Jaxon to come. He couldn't come any faster. so it will be HAlloween, then thanksgiving, then Christmas, then Baby Jaxon YAY!!!
