27 Weeks

How Far Along: 27 Weeks
Weight Gain: 13lbs
Maternity Clothes: Defiantly
Stretch Marks: Not yet
Belly Button: Still holding at level
Sleep: Still have the cold so I am still getting up every hour.
Baby Movement: All the time
Food Cravings: Nothing in particular
Milestones: At 27 weeks she is no longer measured from Crown to rump but from head to toe, this week she is about 15 inches long. And should be weighing just over 2lbs.  She now has more taste buds than she will have at birth Which means not only will can she taste the difference in amniotic fluid she might even react to eat. by hiccuping or kicking. I haven't felt the hiccups yet that I know of but think that it will be really neat when I do.

26 Weeks

How Far Along: 26 weeks
Weight Gain: 13lbs
Maternity clothes: Definitely.
Stretch Marks: Not yet
Belly Button: still holding at even
Sleep: This past week not so much I have been up and down every hour on the hour but not sure if it was b/c of MaKenna was taking up Bladder space or b/c I couldn't breathe due to the cold I can't seem to get rid of, b/c I would take care of both every time
Baby Movement: I have notice her a couple of morning waking up to the Alarm clock. I guess the loud noise startles her
Food Cravings: Not really
Looking Forward too: Thanksgiving this week!! Getting to see everyone and catching up and Mom and My annual shopping trip
Memories from This week: Friday night Zach and I had Date night for my Birthday which was a treat b/c we have been so busy and he works so much that it has been a while since we did that. We went out to eat and then shopping for Maternity clothes. For My Birthday I got a Camcorder to get ready to video tape every exciting thing MaKenna does (well exciting to us I am sure her lying around will be boring to most people :) )
Milestones This week MaKenna weighs about 2lbs and is around 9 inches long. This week she will begin to open her eyes which have been fused together. She can now see although there isn't much to see. But with her increase in hearing and sight her movement should increase. For example if she hears a loud vibrating noise she will respond by blinking and startling

I wanted MaKenna to see what her Mommy looked like the day I turned 26 and was 26 weeks pregnant with her

25 Weeks

How Far Along: 25 Weeks
Weight Gain: 13lbs
Maternity Clothes: Definantly!!
Stretch Marks: Still no definant ones
Belly Button: Right at the surface
Baby Movement. She moves a lot during the day and it never fells at work she decides to go to kicking my bladder every time I have a patient
Sleep: Over the past couple of weeks I have only been getting up once during the night. I realize I had better enjoy this b/c it won't last for long
Food Cravings: I still think there is a leak in every milk jug I buy. If MaKenna breaks a bone I am suing the milk company!!
Looking forward to: We scheduled the 4D ultrasound yesterday!! It is set for December 17.
Memories of this week: Zach's Mom and Dad came down on Sunday after Church to help Zach move our furniture so we got to sleep in our bedroom for the first time!!! I was so excited!
Milestones: At 25 weeks she is about 9in in length and more that 1.5 lbs in weight. Capillaries are forming under the skin and filling with blood, which gives her skin a pink tint now. By the end of the week air sacs lined with capillaries will also develop in her lungs getting her ready for her first breath.Her nostrils which have been plugged until now are starting to open up.

24 Weeks

How far along: 24 weeks
Weight Gain: 11 lbs
Innie or Outie: About level :)
Food Cravings: Haven't really had time to have any this week we have been so busy with the house. But it must be milk I  told Zach yesterday there must be a leak in our Milk cartons b/c I have gone through 2 gallons in a week ( and I am the only one who drinks it)
Baby Movement: All the time IT is so exciting But I said the other day MaKenna is going to have to learn when bedtime is She decided to have a party at 1200 the other night. I hope this isn't a sign of what is to come, but if what they say about paying for your raising is true I have a feeling she won't sleep at all at night.
Most exciting/Memorable thing this week: Being in our new house! Now if we could just get everything back in order. With every other move I have had everything unpacked in its place, pictures on the walls and curtains up in less than a week. Not so with this move we are still sleeping on the floor. I may just have a panic attack from the un-organization before it is all over with :).
Milestones: At 24 weeks MaKenna weighs about a 1.8lbs and from crown to rump measures about 8.5in. which is about the length of a piece of paper. At 24 weeks if we could see her we could almost tell who she was going to look like b/c her face is fully formed, except that her skin is still transparent due to lack of fatty tissue. But it won't stay that weigh for long at this point she is gaining about 6oz a weekShe has eyelashes and judging by the amount of heartburn she should have a full head of hair, but the hair has no pigment to it yet.

  Thought I would throw in a picture of our other child with her new toy. She had to get a prize this week since her mean ole Daddy is making her sleep outside now, but she loves her new back yard
