26 Weeks

Alexander is 26 weeks developed as of last Thursday!! According to BabyCenter:
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. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.

Alexander has been kicking a lot, which is a great sign, but I can feel his little feet getting closer and closer to my rib cage every day. Not looking forward to that first kick behind my ribs. Ouch.

We are officially out of the apartment now! Jason turned in our keys on Friday and all of our boxes and bags are at the house now. Jason hung the new blinds this morning and now we are going to have to tackle the last of the boxes (half of which are full of our enormous collection of DVDs). It's nice to be in Frisco, where civilization exists beyond just campus and bars... Thank goodness for shopping and restaurants!

Yesterday was the Dallas Flea and sadly I didn't get to go. :( Jason had to help his mom clean out the garage and by the time that was done it was almost four- when the Flea ended. I guess I'll have to wait until next year to go to the next one.

Well, back to trying to get Jason to help me with unpacking. Wish me luck!
