My baby has a fully functional circulation system and uses her lungs to mimic breathing. However she will not take her first breath until after she born as before birth all of her oxygen is received from the umbilical cord. The average baby at this week is about 2 lbs and 14 inches long. It is fun to think about what the baby is doing. I still think often about the baby having her entire fist in her mouth during the ultrasound it makes me wish I had chosen the video package so I could share that with everyone.
I am still feeling fine. No discomfort yet or braxton hicks both of which came earlier than 26 weeks with my first two. I also haven’t received any formula coupons, life insurance marketing or baby magazine offers through the mail. It makes me wonder if doctors offices sell their patients information since I have never signed up for any online freebies for baby stuff. Another benefit to having a CPM. I had a midwife appointment last Saturday which went well. Everything is normal and Sariah and Bekah had fun pointing out areas of my belly for the midwife to place the doppler. We are not able to hear the baby through the stethoscope yet even though you usually can at 25 weeks. Nothing to worry about though.
